Anyone think he spends a lot of time these days regretting that?  We will never know the details but either his agent did a terrible job at negotiating or McDavid got caught up in the Kool-Aid or winning a playoff round after a decade of being no good.  It's one thing to waste the prime years of your career in that mess but doing at a discount is pretty dumb.
