There were 2 basic outcomes for McDavid this season: He doesn't re-sign and becomes a free agent (Good!), or he does (doesn't matter for how long) and we continue to have to deal with him and the impacts of Edmonton having him for X amount of years (Bad!).
It has now crystalized around the worse of the 2 options. It's not a positive outcome. That's ok, it's not like it's going to be the end of the world, no one's life is exploding as a consequence of this, but it's OK to acknowledge that this is not a good outcome for flames fans.

There were more than two basic outcomes. He could walk or he could re-sign and the outcomes are based on how many years he extended. 2 years is a much better outcome than 3,4,5,6,7. It's not a great outcome but it's far from the worst.
