  1. Connor McDavid is leaving Edmonton now n if you weren't worried before he is leaving n that is very true it is just not a rumor anymore Connor McDavid is very mad now n nobody can change his mind ever the Oilers should just let him go

  2. Losing McDavid is not an option. Pay him and surround him with players that will be getting them to the promised land!

  3. Looking at teams and cap space, McDavid would fit into the Vegas roster really well next year. Taxes much different for players in the US. Someone said something in his ear this summer.

  4. Man I hate to say it, but do we trade him before the deadline to get some value out of him?? If he doesn't sign anything soon, it's likely the only option… I wouldn't risk losing his value over the chance we get a cup… Tough decisions to be made, and Connor holds all the cards.

  5. People get so lost thinking he's the only option to win a cup, when other teams have been doing it since he was in the league. Love him as a player; I would not be strong-armed into losing his value.

  6. The Oilers management just want to keep Connor McDavid because he is the best in the NHL n nobody not even Leon Draisytyl or his ex wife Lauren can ever change Connors mind he is his own boss the Oilers should just let him go already he doesn't want to resign with Edmonton he wants to leave Edmonton asap just let him go it's really Connor McDavid choice

  7. There's one main reason why mcdavid hasn't signed and that's skinner still in the starter's position in net. Get rid of skinner. He's only here cause he's the hometown kid playing for his hometown kid. He's still at best an ahl starter in any of the other 31 teams

  8. If he is smart, he moves on. He can get all the money he wants anywhere. The Oilers had two chances to win it all and couldn't. If he stays, no more than a one or two-year contract.

  9. No worries he will sign mid july, no worries he will sign mid August, no worries he will sign sept 3 like Drai, no worries he will sign right before the opener, no worries he will sign by the deadline, no worries he will sign July 1

  10. back to back finals is nice, but its mostly because of McDavid…wherever he plays will have a shot

  11. 2 decades of not having a good goalie. It's WILD to see. Clearly Mcdavid wants a top tier goalie.

  12. Katz is the problem….and it's about money. If 8×20 was on the table, it would be done. It isn't. For 4 years, it's probably 18.5. Katz spends to the cap now, but will he in 3 years when it's 113$mil? He screwed up the Holloway/Broberg situation last year…is he going to screw this up too?

  13. The fact there has been this much doubt in his quotes makes it clear to me that he’s gone and bob, as much as I love him, was told to do damage control from OEG exects. Gaudreau(RIP) and Tavares had eerily similar quotes. Hopefully McDavid has as much of a spine as tkachuk who atleast had the balls to tell Calgary he wasn’t coming back and got them a very good deal in return..

  14. I wouldn't be surprised if McDavid doesn't feel like he's worth as much as he could be because of the way he performed last season.

  15. Put McDavid on the trading block and see what you can get for him before its too late… Next thing you know he's leaving next summer for nothing, it shouldn't take this long too re-sign its a straight forward negotiation with a blank cheque in front of his face so why is it taking so long for him to put his name on it?
