“McDavid has mentioned that he wants to play it slowly. But I think Connor McDavid thinks to my best understanding here in the long term.

Yes, after you went to two straight Stanley Cup finals, comes as close if each team could do without winning a Stanley Cup, the Edmonton Oilers are ready to roll this year. They are ready to have another shot, especially with an injection of young people, young people from Matt Savoie and Ike Howard in their line -up.

But what is the next iteration? And we have talked a bit about that about the NHL Insider -notes of last week here on the BR app, as well as streaming on YouTube, about that idea of ​​how do the future iterations of the Edmonton Oilers look like? He wants to have the best chance in the long term to win, and you could claim that with a bit of an outdated core for this Edmonton team, that it might not be the place in Edmonton.

NHL -Rumors: Carey Price, Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov

So he is going to go through this distinction process, and perhaps on the other hand, he draws a deal of three or a four years, or perhaps he will be at the end of this coming season and says: ‘Hey, we are just at another cup final, or we just won the Stanley Cup, or whatever it is, I think the best chance with the only other place, with the core, is still with the core, with the core, Place on the planet, with the only other place, with the only other place on the planet, with the only other place, with the only other place on the planet I can play with Leon Draisaitl. I want to do it in Edmonton, and maybe I will actually sign for eight years. ‘

So, there is this push and pull. But I think the interesting part is that there is nothing that Edmonton can show their own goal, unless Ike Howard and Matt Savoie are cemented in the top six, or perhaps even middle -season and monster years who probably have some of those worries, question marks or fears from the ground to answer the ground.

So, really interesting situation that develops in Edmonton, certainly one that we continue to see. And as said, this is not only a huge story in the NHL after a really quiet summer. But if you have a player of this size that may come too free or get closer, there will be a bigger story in the all four major sports here in the United States.
