McDavid running away with the scoring race that year is what made it difficult to fathom any less than what he signed for.
And yet today the guys ahead of him in scoring are making 6.75MM, 894K, and 9.5MM.
I dunno, whenever you're wading into contracts that are more expensive than anything ever signed before, hard to say what's a good deal or what's too much.
A premium for dragging the corpse of that team around for the full 8 year term does make sense to me though.
