What we are also saying is that that money, plus Draisaitl, plus Russell, plus Lucic, plus RNH is going to make life very difficult for future cap management. They need to sign or replace Maroon. They need to sign or replace Talbot. Strome is going to be an RFA in one year. Same with Nurse. Same with Caggiula, Benning, Pakarinen and Slepyshev. Their top 4 D (lol) all make over 4, and if they ever want an actual elite defenceman, it's gonna be hard.

All irrelevant imo, you sign McDavid to maximum term and worry about the rest later. He made Maroon, he made Draisaitl a better player. If it comes to it they will let go of Maroons of the team and find cheaper replacements.
