I think it’s far more likely that McDavid walks at the end of the deal, or signs the 6 year extension at that time. Will he also give a discount at that time?

The contracts they are signing seem to line up with McDavid walking...they are throwing out term like crazy to older players. Ekholm 4, Walman 8, Fredrick 8. (including this year) Its going to be a mess 4 years from today.
