McDavid Stays in Edmonton

Connor McDavid is reportedly set to sign a seven-year max extension with the Edmonton Oilers, locking him down as Alberta’s franchise player for years to come. This move, paired with Leon Draisaitl, cements their core identity and signals trust in the team’s future — especially with Mike Babcock rumored to take the reins. Babcock’s arrival is seen as a game-changer, bringing a modern, player-empowered coaching philosophy inspired by NBA models. McDavid’s current deal is already considered a steal at $12.5M/year, and with another MVP season under his belt, his next contract will reflect his elite value. For Oilers fans, the dream of McDavid in another jersey? Probably just that — a dream. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
