Yeah, if McDavid tested free agency, he will have every team in the league considering what they could do to free up cap space if they figured they had a shot at him, and will get almost any amount he wants (he may take less than max if a team he wants to go to can't fit $19mil but could make $16 work, for example).

It would be a historic free agent available, so even a serious season ending injury that could possibly even bleed into next season a bit isn't stopping the runaway train of teams offering the max they can afford to sign him. It would have to be grave, like serious spinal or neck injury with his future playing career in doubt.
