In August 2025, all eyes turned to Edmonton. The Oilers and their captain Connor McDavid are negotiating a contract that could rewrite NHL history. Reports suggest the deal might reach $17.5 million annually — an amount no NHL player has ever seen.
But the future isn’t certain. Some insiders say McDavid prefers a short-term deal, while others believe a massive long-term contract is in the works. Meanwhile, trade rumors involving teams like Toronto, New York, and L.A. are swirling as fans wait for a decision. Could this become the biggest contract — or trade — since Gretzky?

NHL players making millions while most Canadians struggle… way out of touch with real societal value, yet fans keep clapping and cheering and the greed continues to grow.
Its called entertainment , turn it off if its not your thing.
Its going to be at least 17 million with the Canadien taxes.

McDavid solidifying Oilers cup drought 😂
He will leave🎉
17.5 million is far too low when you got NBA, NFL & MLB contracts in the hundreds of millions to play lesser physical sports.
Jayson Tatum, 5-year $315 million. Patrick Mahomes, 10-year $450 million, Juan Sotos, 15-year $750 million. (Those are just the top, not including the others in the hundreds of millions as well).
Mcdavid is a nerd
