He's this rebuilds Taylor Hall, he's their golden boy...until the next generational talent comes along and they still suck enough to get him. McDavid doesn't have to sign with anyone because he doesn't seem like the kind of kid with a fire in him to be as good as he can IMO.

It doesn't matter where he goes, he's going to be the golden boy. That's irrelevant. For example, he could sign in Las Vegas and have it way better and have even less pressure. No one expects an expansion team to be any good. But that isn't the intent. The idea is to get McDavid to UFA status the quickest, that way every team has a crack at him and McDavid can play where ever he wants.
