If they don’t win it now it isn’t going to happen, McDavid knows that.

Meh, everyone says this every year about cap crunched teams, but the reality is most teams find a way to keep teams together if they believe in the core. Whether it's through buyouts/BS injury claims etc. They mostly make it happen when fans all yearr go "Hanaha that team is ****ed next year with salary, no way they keep them together!".
They're an annual contender now, there is no way McDavid..or management looks at two straight Cup finals and goes "welp, that was our two shots, now it would be really hard to fit this team under the cap so F it, we're done, we had our chance".
