“Let’s dive into it and let’s start with, well, maybe the story of the summer. And if it’s not the story of the summer, then it will certainly be very fast, and that is, we are about a month from the opening of training camps and the best player in the world, Connor McDavid, has no contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
Ah, everyone, panic alarms sound. People in Edmonton, Alberta are nervous. Do they have to be? I don’t think so. Look, my understanding here, just to give you a quick update, it was a very busy social summer for Connor McDavid, as everyone saw on social media. Overzee, in Europe, with the best friend Leon Draisaitl’s Wedding. We all saw this, the videos of him on Jetskis with Leon Draisaitl. We saw the now infamous photo of Leon Draisaitl that he placed of himself who smoked an arrow at his own wedding, who was Chef’s Kiss.
And yet Connor McDavid does not have a contract extension to stay with the Edmonton Oilers. Should people be nervous? I do not even understand that figures have even been exchanged.

They are still very early in the process, and yet there seems to be no hint of nerves or panic or fear of the Edmonton Oilers -side, as good as I can see, and also the McDavid side. That I would expect here in a relatively short order, whether it is in the coming week or two, that that process will start to rise.
And that essentially the way it was explained to me, the moment is that Connor McDavid takes his head of the pillow and decides that he would like to have a contract extension done, that is the day it will happen. It can be so fast, because there is not really a negotiation here.
This is the best player in the world and calls his prize. He is going to slide a piece of paper to Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson of the Edmonton Oilers and he will say, this is what I would like to pay, and this is how I want to structure the contract. And they will say, “Yes, sir, yes, we will do it for you immediately, and we will get it to sign.”
That is a kind of core of where we are with Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. So I am not worried that he will sign with the oilers again. I believe the question will be for how long?
…
I’m just, this is a pure spit ball, because I think even Connor McDavid and his camp do not yet know the answer. But if I had to pin where I think this will eventually land, I believe it will be somewhere between $ 16 and $ 17 and a half million a year for a four -year -old deal.
NHL Hart Trophy: Can someone challenge Connor McDavid?
It can be everywhere from two to eight. I don’t think they have excluded eight. And by the way, a subtle memory for everyone with the new SMEs that starts, that this is the last year that you can sign a deal for as long as eight years. I don’t know he was terribly stimulated to do this. Anyway, he becomes a very, very rich man.
And four years may be the sweet spot here, while he looks in his crystal ball and sees how many opportunities that this Edmonton Oiler Core has the chance to chase and to chase those very elusive Stanley Cup because they have come quite close together for two years. “
