That path to Toronto is there, so I can see him being conflicted in one years time. At the end of the Day, Draisaitl can always ask for a trade if McDavid leaves as he is always looking out for number 1.

The scorn from their fickle fans and media when he's 38 and eating up that cap hit isn't worth the difference.
They'll turn on him by the midway mark, I'd reckon.
