I'm pretty sure any team would throw that money at him...crippling their team? no more than the Oilers will have to
I do think he signs long term but its max money...the offer sheet threat is real in this case

Heck if I'm buffalo I send over a max year/max dollar offer to McDavid as a long awaited dish best served cold offer for Vanek.
I mean there's no way that the Oilers don't match.

I will be VERY surprised if he is ever in a offer sheet position in Edmonton.

Agree with both of those.
There are teams who will make an offer sheet work. If for nothing else than to make Edmonton pay. And I don't see why McDavid signs this summer or gives up term, his two most valuable assets.

I think you should prepare yourself. He's a unique asset, and he knows it and his agent knows it.

Like Crosby? Malkin? Ovechkin? Ekblad?
You guys act like there has never been a player like this ever.

Edmonton will pay him whatever he wants and match any offer he gets.
Unless he desperately wants out of Edmonton (which I doubt considering they're not playing poorly) he'll be in Edmonton until at least UFA.

8 years 97 million (or whatever McDavid wants)
This is a non issue.

You are probably right he doesn't get to that position...because the Oilers give him 12M/8.
makes for some tough decisions though, just saying they aren't getting a discount IMO

Like I said this is a new reality.
If McDavid wins the scoring title this year and or the Hart. I would expect him to demand the moon.
The only way the Oilers get him under a max length contract is probably at $12 million because he's going to want to be above Toews and Kane with the highest hit.
A shorter length deal will cost more.

And speaking of Ekblad, if you are Florida's GM, you have to be a bit concerned about his health prognosis, having just given him that big contract. His concussion susceptibility seems to be a growing concern.
And that becomes an issue when you " mortgage the farm" for one player. If the Oilers sign McDavid to a max term, max deal, you pray to the hockey gods that injury does not become a factor.

Personaly I have settled on 12.125 for 8. Anything less than this will be a win in my book. I used to hope for less but just don't see it.

Think he means 14m for his 3 UFA years of an 8 year deal.

4.66 for McDavid is a shrewd negotiation. I like it.

Why wouldn't the Flames throw a + max offer in? Make Edmonton break the bank to match.
13 mil 8years?

Don't think you can sign contracts that put you over the cap.
Anyways, thanks for the chat guys, was civil and nice! Off for some beer.
