With the collision course that the NHL and NHLPA are heading towards. And McDavid being the bar setter as far as contracts go there will be tremendous pressure for McDavid and his agent to represent (Yo) the NHLPA's mandate.
I think it will only go two ways, either they walk to the table with an 8 x max (14) and negotiate to 12. Or they walk in with a 6 year x 12 and negotiate to 11 which allows him to maximize his value through UFA pressure.
I highly doubt that there will be anything under 11 on the table.
I don't doubt that Draisaitl will either sign an 8 x 7.5 or 5 x 7.
If Tavares gets 10 mil by 8 McDavid who is a huge step better all ready according to everyone will get more.
