Rishaug: “And to be clear, this has not been a salvo back and forth, this term and these dollars in one direction and a countertop and back. That is not what happened here.
But the meat and the potatoes of term and dollars, that is something that McDavid and his agent work through, and at a certain moment they will discuss the oilers.
NHL -Rumors: The New York Rangers and Artemi Panarin
You and I both work on this story. We are both, you know, follow this closely. CJ, what does your intestines tell you about where this could possibly land? My instinct tells me that, you know, I don’t know that an eight -year -old deal here is the most likely option. I think it might be somewhere in the reach of four years where this could possibly land.

Johnston: “Well, I certainly share that assumption. If he draws in Edmonton, I don’t think it will be a complete deal. And look, he told us what he wants, right? I mean, there is not much mystery here. He wants a chance to win again.
You know, for me, I think the fact that he is not in a hurry to sign now, you say that there is at least some concern, will that be the case? And look, every team has strangers. I mean, you look at the capsheet of each team for 26-27, there will be non-signed players. There will be dop space. You don’t know what the team will assign it.
NHL rumors: Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers
You know, in a vacuum I would say it tells me that he wants to see more of what the oilers are going to do in the year. But you know, the important reservation was what he called, do they still need a distraction? Will this actually be a distraction? I think that’s what he works through.
So if you had to record me, I think the season starts without signing an extension, but you know that I don’t say 100% that this is going. “
