Kyle Bukauskas: “Connor McDavid, among those who spoke from the men’s side, and very early in the procedure, Elliette, was not asked about the Canada team and the Olympic Games, no, but his contract situation. For those who are not aware of his current contract with the Edmonton Oilers?

Friedman: “Well, I think I was pretty honest about what I expected, and that means, I thought he would sign a short -term agreement this year before the season started, so that reporters like Kyle would disturb him all year round.

Well, McDavid indicated that this is not necessarily the case. He was very honest and very blunt, you know how he said he is not preferable in terms of what he wants to do and when or if he wants to sign.

And all I have interpreted is this way. He wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Edmonton Oilers. That is his first choice, and there is no number two at the moment. He wants to win a Stanley Cup in Edmonton. I take him at first sight, and I think that is definitely his preference.

What I think he says to them is that he wants to make sure that they are a consistent Stanley Cup for years to be paid. He wants to be able to believe it. Yes, they have come so close over the past two years. Yes, they went to the Stanley Cup final twice in a row. But he wants to ensure that he sees the oilers as a team that can remain at that level and higher for years. And until he is sure, he will not do it.

Now, you know, there are a few things here. There are many players, I believe, who would crack under that kind of pressure. I think McDavid is so focused and is so determined that he is not one of those players. I think he will be fine.

However, I don’t think this is a story that will disappear. I think McDavid is perfect within his right to tackle this if he deems necessary. I have no problem with that, but the story will not disappear. And until he draws or explains what he is going to do. It is something that is being spoken about. “
