While a good point, he'd also be on the wrong side of 30 and that could lower his wage, especially to a new team?
Cap could go up, McDavid's production could go down? That'd be a real risk.
If he was going to be 25 or whatever my answer would be totally different, but at 33? With his mileage? I think I'd take Edmonton's money.
Besides, if his production declines enough maybe Edmonton's angry villagers will burn his wife's restaurant down and he can collect the insurance on top of it! Thats wins all around!
