You're McDavid, you're looking at that, and you're asking yourself (and your agent): why, exactly, did I leave $6M on the table again?

He has had years to ponder that while his supporting cash was blown on Nurse, Lucic, Neal, Bouchard, etc...
I don't know what's up with him. He should be able to see that any team he shows up on is instantly a Cup contender, and it's a failure of the organization that he doesn't already have multiple rings, despite their 2 runs. He's been dragging them kicking and screaming to success, not being bolstered by them.
IMO, he seems like a guy that doesn't grab much control of his own situation (off the ice). Probably easily lulled into a sense of loyalty for the team and trust in his agents etc... without thinking much for himself. If he had any self-determination he'd be Lebroning/Lindrosing his way to an ideal situation like any generational sports player can. Not sure why he cares about what people might say about him requesting a trade or leaving the team holding the bag. They've squeezed all they can out of him.
