“If I feel that there is a good window to win again and again, signing is no problem,” Connor McDavid said at the end of the season and before he took some personal time to relax and enjoy the wedding of his good friend Leon Draisaitl. It was no guarantee that he would again sign with the Edmonton Oilers, but it was pretty close.
Now it seems that McDavid is just around the corner. The oilers may not yet know the conditions of the contract or the AAV, but it sounds like they have a timeline when this extension is signed.
Reports come up about the McDavid extension
It sounds like the Oilers and McDavid will immediately come up with his extension, whereby the team and the player both wait until he is in the city to complete things. According to a few reports on Saturday, next week may be when fans have to expect a real update.
“Team Canada will meet in Calgary next week,” said NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman about the last episode of the 32 thought podcast. He added: “I would expect that after Connor McDavid is ready there and he goes back to Edmonton, they will work on it.”
According to The 2 Mutts Podcast“We hear that Connor McDavid & the @Edmontonoilers will agree with a contract extension against or on 3 September (Leon Extension Date last year). 3 to 4 years at $ 16 million AAV is what we hear from today. Does that change between now and then? Let’s look. “
Social Media Content Creator for Oilers Nation @Woz added, “The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that the oilers and McDavid would wait until he is back in the city to complete the expansion. Given the importance of the deal, they want a press conference on Rogers Place, etc. No Zoom Interview.”
The oilers want to make the news of the expansion of McDavid a major problem that the media and fans can view when announced. That makes sense from the expansion and how much the start of training camps will drop off with a positive atmosphere.
