The deal is reportedly worth $925,000 per season, but McDavid can earn up to $2.85 million based on performance bonuses, according to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet.
The 18-year-old recorded 97 goals and 188 assists in 166 regular-season games over three campaigns with the OHL's Erie Otters prior to the draft.
