Best way to get this deal done in my eyes? Go back to McDavid’s cap hit % when he signed his contract, and put that together. Done. There could even be an argument for more % based on the fact Mackinnon is now a proven winner.
McDavid’s deal: 16.67% of the salary cap when he signed it.
Mackinnon at 16.67% on a projected 83.5M cap: 13.92M AAV. Put in a kicker for winning the cup and call it a cool $14M.

MacKinnon has been on record more than once saying he’d take a team friendly deal, I’d be surprised if his cap hit was that high.
