A lockout is a 100% certainty already. The question is whether either side is willing to push for another cancelled season.
When McDavid's contract is announced, expect to see big dollars paid as bonuses at times. Lockout proofing is a thing as players and agents make sure they get money, even when they help halt the league entirely.
