I still think his AAV is between 10 and 12 on an 8 year deal. With an outside shot at 12.125 per which is 97 million/8 years because of the weird number thing we see in the NHL these days.

I don't think I've heard any pundits saying that at all, unless its Staples but that was a terrible article and it was clear that he was typing with one hand.
I'm going to have to ask for a citation on most pundits.
Bobby Orr is probably one of the best agents out there and he makes sure his clients are taken care of. He's also a NHLPA hawk so I doubt that he's going to make it easy on the Oilers. Plus McDavid is a huge client for him, he's going to make sure that he gets the best deal for him so expect a grinding negotiation.
