I don't think so - McDavid just took less money so his team can theoretically build a winner around him, like Crosby did throughout his career with his constant $8.7M cap hit. Now, the pressure is on the Oilers' management to fill the holes in the roster - there's no excuse anymore.
I have no doubt that McDavid made things perfectly clear when signing the contract - if the team can't build a winner in the next three years, there won't be a number big enough to make him stay in 2028.
