Yeah, sure, but this is Connor McDavid, not just "top NHL players". There's no one else like this.
I mean, he is a RFA, but given that there will probably be at least a dozen teams willing to give him Max x Max in an offer sheet, I guess it's hard to see this playing out any other way. Granted, the Oilers can give him eight years where any other team can only give him seven, but I don't know how much that's really worth.
