Other GMs probably love this contract, as literally the most effective D at limiting McDavid/Draisaitl is Tyson Barrie. If you found a D that could limit McDavids and Draisaitls offensive production by 5-10%, you would likely chuck a ton of money at them. And for other GMs, they dont even need to waste the cap space.
McDavid is great with Barrie, better without him, and Barrie is replacement-level caliber without McDavid.
The Secondary Assist Assassin cashed in for a nice contract and we have 3 more years of putting an anchor on McDavid
