What are you suggesting McDavid could have done instead?

Actually, he could have retired I guess....or played in Europe.
Here is a list of what RFA McDavid could have done aside for you're sarcastic remarks:

- Hold out
- Demand a trade
- Sign a 2-3 year bridge
- Sign a contract that takes him directly to his first UFA years (much like Matthews)
