“If I had been wanting on the Connor McDavid state of affairs as greatest I can handicap it at this time limit, my guess is that it’s not going to be an eight-year deal. That it’ll be lower than that, in all probability 4, and someplace between 16 and 17 and a half million {dollars} in AAV. These are simply ballparks.
That’s the very best that I can glean at this second in time. Probably not even assured saying utterly that it’s going to be a four-year deal. I nonetheless assume it is smart to, to get assist and simply be accomplished with it.
For those who’re Connor McDavid, the very last thing you wish to do is undergo this once more. And you understand, he has a lot leverage and management that if he decides after 4 years or three years or no matter, that the Edmonton Oilers aren’t getting it accomplished, and he’s not going to have an opportunity to win there, nicely, the very best participant on the earth simply raises his hand and says, I need out. They usually’re going to haven’t any alternative however to make it occur.
So I don’t assume signing a shorter-term deal lights a hearth underneath Edmonton’s arse any faster than the rest. Simply one thing to remember.
