I wonder if there is also some angst from players to take more than McDavid now?
I doubt that is it as Draisaitl makes more than McDavid and plays on his team.

I do think NHL players are more loyal that other athletes in other sports and value winning with the team that drafted them and their teammates.

Rolling back the max term probably played a part in this. If he left Winnipeg, he would get 6 years.
