This is the only good thing about the SN McDavid hype train...he will always have to be the top paid guy and it's all about points.

No mention that he gets more ice time and PP time than anyone else.

Year 1: 11.67 million
Year 2: 10.80 million
Year 3: 10.00 million
Year 4: 9.26 million
Year 5: 8.58 million
Year 6: 7.94 million
Year 7: 7.35 million
Year 8: 6.81 million

I know I am supporting your point... but like I said, you do make one.

Mcdavid was 10th in pp time on ice per game for forwards.

Draisaitl and Him are 2nd and 3rd respectively in PP ice time last year (only Ovechkin played more)

They are also 1st and 2nd in Even Strength ice time.

So in terms of offensive opportunity (ES+PP ice time) they are pretty far ahead of the pack.

Edmonton was in the middle of the pack for pp chances. So if McDavid and Draisatl are close to the top they are playing a higher percentage of their teams powerplays as well. Even if you use 10th place for McDavid, all the players ahead of him are on teams with more powerplays than the Oilers.

The time on ice per game is the biggest factor I think.

Makar looks like the deal of the century now locked up long-term at 9.0 per. Age 23.

Highest paid player - which he should be with this contract. And yet, still a discount for the Avs. Also, tons of bonus money. All around win on every front. MacKinnon is a class act. And the Avs did well here too.

Can’t really argue with the first “real” Stanley Cup in 3 years. He earned it.

Nothing fake about the 19-20 or 20-21 Stanley Cups either IMO. Those Tampa teams were legit and deserved to win.

You said PP time not % of team PP time. Whatever that is.

Great deal for the Avs.
Well it helps that he has the physique of a Nuclear Fallout Shelter.

It is merely saying that MacKinnon will likely celebrate by eating a salad - a boring one, at that.

It's pretty simple to understand, and McDavid/Drai play more than any forward in the NHL so the point is valid

Totals are impressive, but are certainly inflated by having such shallow team.

1 or 2 more minutes a game over 82 games adds up
