Again, they have to tangibly show McDavid that they are building around him in the attempts to keep him down the road, past 3 years.
Keith overpay because he won cups and can take over the actual leadership (in theory, Keith just wants to play a couple years and retire quietly)
Hyman to get some offensive help.
Nurse severe over pay because he is decent and is showing McDavid the commitmemt.
