I think its pretty obvious Mcdavid wanted those signings
Doesn't look like McDavid did any "resetting of the market"

oh yeah, I'm sure he was absolutely the one who took less money so that Jake Walman could make more.
That makes the most perfect sense in this world, especially when you have 2 goaltenders who are below average and are both UFA's next year.

Good for him, and good for Winnipeg being able to keep a home grown, bad for the Blues since he absolutely kills us.
I agree.

Well that is much less crazy than what you think. If you think they didn't discuss how that money would be spent you are the crazy one. Ever cross your mind that McDavid is not a great general manager?TheJackBurton wrote: ↑09 Oct 2025 12:09 pmoh yeah, I'm sure he was absolutely the one who took less money so that Jake Walman could make more.

You actually believe they took McDavid's opinion into account when re-signing Walman to a contract that was 5 years longer than McDavid's?skilles wrote: ↑09 Oct 2025 12:14 pmWell that is much less crazy than what you think.
