The risk of going into the season with him without an extension is insane. If its truely only Toronto they won't even get the big return
They don't have a choice. He has a NMC and the PR disaster of trading him would be brutal. They will publically say they are having negotiations and you will hear that all year unless they play the he doesn't want to talk contract until seasons end card. If you are McDavid and your intent is the Leafs why are you going to waive your NMC so that the team you are going to loses key assets to the team you are leaving? They have to let him walk, you still have him for one more run.
