It's also tough to say - because it's a lot of money to turn down - and nothing prevents him from being able to demand a trade in the future anyways if McDavid leaves.
You take the guaranteed money, and still can leave if absolutely necessary.
$112M is a lot of money to turn down. He would have needed to get $16M a year over 7 years to get the same value and I'm just not sure that was going to be on the table.
You take the money and guarantee that you are set for life - then you worry about the rest later.
