Top insiders like Elliotte Friedman have been saying that IF McDavid extends his contract with the Oilers it will be at a lower number than expected to help the team win. I would guess a short term (2-3 year) extension for McDavid somewhere between 15-16M. An agents job is to get his client the best contract he desires and if McDavid desires to take less to help his team thats what will happen.
We also made a trade this morning, acquired Connor Ingram (goalie) at a reduced cap hit for free (future considerations). Nice piece of business, Ingram is a solid NHL backup who has the ability to challenge Skinner for starts but has suffered mental health issues his entire career. He wanted a change of scenery and I respect Utah for going above and beyond to provide him one.
