For McDavid I don't think anybody knows at this point.
I think he would love to play for the Leafs...but will Treliving actually be forward thinking enough to have the assets / cap space available to make it a reality...probably not.
It is interesting to me though that both Matthews and McDavid are represented by the same agent...I would bet that the agency would love to have McDavid and Matthews on the same team...and would have very good line of sight into how much more he can make from endorsements by being in Toronto instead of Edmonton.
The NHLPA is going to be putting huge pressure on McDavid and that agency to try to sign as close to a max deal as possible as well. He creates the ceiling for what star players can expect to make in the NHL.
