I don't think it's that surprising considering he had 100 points this season, and conceivably hasn't hit his ceiling yet since he's only 20. Granted, I haven't followed the NHL closely until the past few years, so I don't really know what $13m a year is in context to the NHL cap. But it makes sense that a generational talent like McDavid gets one of the most lucrative deals ever.
