This is clearly a bridge deal to see if he can play well enough to earn a longer term contract.

Guys we're all continuing to believe he's only getting 12.5M which is the same AAV currently.

Are we honestly forgetting about the other thread and the 50/50 more like 80/20 thread where its been proven they are using that money for "unknown" purposes.

He's getting more, we just don't see it.

It's hard to believe that McDavid would take money under the table. Unbelievably so.

Just confirming if there is a full no move clause attached? I mean, it's Edmonton why would you need one as anywhere else is better but....just in case.

Oh absolutely, there are stacks of cash being pushed his way under the table. We're just hearing about the official money.

Some kinda "endorsment deal" is the most likely scenario

Like how? I think there is zero chance they walk him to UFA, that would go down as the worst blunder of all time. They would get an absolute haul for him. That third year is an illusion.

Unless they are a non playoff team though he isn't going to leave mid season IMO...he will want one more kick at McDrai

So you think Edmonton would risk going to the third year him being unsigned? Because he's leaving for sure if they don't win.

Either way both Hyman and Ekholm are over the hill at that point, if they already aren't.

Connor going "Fine. Last chance, get us a goalie and some D with this discount I'm giving you and if we don't win in next 2 years I'm GTFO"

except they gave Wallman a 3.6M raise the same day...how much is even a decent goalie 5-6M? Heck Skinner will want 4M

Its all gone and then some right there

His agent should be fired today.$12.5M AAV is embarassing, even with the excuse he wants to help out the team. Then they reach out and sign Walman for $7M AAV.

The only way McDavid salary makes sense is if he told the team I will sign for $12.5M so you can trade me at the end of the season, gets him to TO at the right price and in a couple years he can sign his extension there (his new contract replaces the Marner one that just expired).

Glad to see Bowman is still stupid as all get out.

When did people start thinking that management group had any sense whatsoever?

If he stayed on the fence they'd have walked him right through this season.

Well I never thought he would not re-sign an extention. I thought that was wishful thinking and every insider said the same. Now it's absolutely guaranteed that he leaves if they don't win in the next three.

He could ask out at any time if they suck I just can't imagine them trading him if they are even in a playoff spot
