I mean, come on. Signing for your jersey number is cute, but if I were a hockey player, I wouldn't pay tens of millions for the privilege.
Maybe he only goes 6 years but McDavid is wired to win and if he takes too much of the pie there is no way the Oilers can put together a competitive team when he makes $12-$14M per. $9.7M would also be the highest cap hit any player signed out of a ELC.
