That was the case when MacKinnon signed his deal for just $100,000 more than Connor McDavid’s league-leading AAV — just not to this degree. Two things have changed since then. The first is that MacKinnon, somehow, took another step. And the second is that the cap is set to explode to a point where $12.6 million is a modest sum for a player of MacKinnon’s ilk. In the 2025-26 season, it already represents just 13.2 percent of the cap. By Year 6, it could be less than 10 percent. You don’t need me to tell you MacKinnon is worth a much higher percentage of the cap.
