Connor McDavid understands that every contract decision he takes is a big one. It is not only important for himself and his family, but also his teammates and the Edmonton Oilers as an organization. He wants to do well, that’s why he takes his time and goes through his own process to feel comfortable when he finally tells the oilers what he wants.
While he enters the last year of his $ 100 million contract, McDavid shows that he is one of the most calculated athletes in the NHL. Some suggest that this is a problem, but being calculated is not always a bad thing.
What McDavid made clear on Thursday when he spoke with the media was that this is not about money, not really. McDavid himself said the same amount in a wide interview with TSN’s Ryan RishaugWherever he explained: “We are trying to find a scenario that works for everyone in terms of my family, the safety of my family, a deal that makes sense to the team to keep success.
McDavid does not chase maximum dollars. “I would say that people who say that, and talk about that side, as if we are trying to hit a kind of home run, I would say they don’t know me so well and that of course they don’t spend much time around me because that is not the priority.” McDavid is more concerned with winning and proving his value on ice when everything is said and done.
That is why it is so important that he is committed to the franchise as their contenders. He also knows that it is important to help them make everything work financially. “I don’t have to see anything. I have totally faith in the boys who run the team. I just don’t hurry to do it,” Told McDavid Mark Spector of Sportnet.
Is worrying McDavid who is so careful with his contract?
Some fans may be nervous that McDavid even hesitates, but she should not be. What he does is smart. Before he binds to Edmonton for the rest of his prime, he wants to ensure that the Oilers season after the season can build a competition around him. That is not selfish – it is the characteristic of a leader.
He also does not only make a decision that benefits himself. Married now married, McDavid referred to his family, including Vrouw Lauren Kyle, and no matter how this decision influences her. She is now rooted in Edmonton with various business companies and friends.
McDavid does not want to make a mistake and make a decision. “This is a big decision for not only my life, but also my career,” he said. “I have been playing since I was two years old. Everything I put into my life is hockey, and this is a big decision in that, so I want to do it well.”
That kind of perspective is rare. And that is why the management of oilers should not panic if the deal is not signed before the season starts. McDavid has all leverage, and when he is ready, the negotiations will be short. His priority is winning – something he has been clear about since the end of last season.
In reality, the careful approach to McDavid Oilers -fans should reassure. The only thing that is delayed is that he thinks about how he can lift everyone around him.
Oh … and he also said: “I want to prove that scoring 50 or 60 is not a one -off. I have had 50 goals and I have had 100 assists, and I like the goals a little more.” How incredible is that to hear if you are a fan of oilers.
