Only thing redeeming is that this means he's gone at the expiry.

By the end of this contract, McDavid will have $120 mil career earnings. His next contract will probably be something like 7 x 16. So by the time he retires he’ll have made over $230 mil playing hockey. That’s generational wealth for him, his kids, and his grandkids. In that context, an extra 8 or 10 mil doesn’t matter nearly as much as a ring.
