I guess the issue with that is that McDavid isn't exactly Lebron James. Pretty easy for James to take a multi million dollar discount, when his networth is north of a 1 billion and he's earning $50+ million in passive income a year.

Maybe McDavid's people realize that his personality is so non-existent that his only hope of big money is via his contracts.
Wouldn't he be more marketable if he went to New York or LA
