Looks like he wants to change teams in the offseason. I kind of feel for Wild fans. Makes me wonder if the NHL should adopt a franchise player type of rule....just after McDavid leaves Edmonton of course.

Not a terrible idea. A team could tag one player and pay them the max individual AAV as a percentage of the cap and not have it count against the cap.

The high end talent gets paid and doesn't chew up all the cap space for the rank and file of the PA.
