I think McDavid's representation did him, and the NHLPA, a massive disservice by signing that contract. They should have gone five years and the absolute max available. End of story. McDavid sets the standard, and achieves unrestricted free agency at his earliest convenience. This has nothing to do with Edmonton, and everything to do with maxing out the market.
