He can have the money, or he can chase Cups. He can't do both. See both Crosby and Michael Jordan for examples. We'll see where his real priority lies.
As an Oiler fan… I'm at 4% worried. Ask me 4 games into the season though 😂
If the conversation is going to be about him wanting a cup then there is literally no other team in the league closer than Edmonton to that. If it’s making bank then maybe there could be some contenders for him, but they would likely be teams that aren’t as close and have more cap space. We’ll have to see how the season plays out (which is what I think he’s planning on doing as well).
It's a distraction cause Canadian media makes it so. Mcdavid wants to win who can blame him. He's performed at every level for this team. It's not his fault the Oilers can't get a competent goalie or sign role players to bad deals.
I'm not worried at all. He wants guarantees for success. If he signs now, the Oilers can sit on their asses for a decade and still see the money rolling in.
Every. Single. Day. They will not stop making these videos no matter what.
Connor McDavid WANTS to come to Toronto on July 1, 2026
He’s going to san jose or chicago or it might be nashville
Has nothing to do with maybe moving to another team. Its about finding a term and aav that works both for McDavid and the Oilers.
Why didnt Leon or bouchard leave any money on the table3
If McDavid was going to sign with Edmonton, he would have by now.
My concern is this team has no pricks or toughness on this team except Frederic
My response is that Oiler fans should be at least somewhat concerned because the start of training camp is under two weeks away and trading camp is an important start to a given NHL team’s season.
McDavid will end up in the U.S. after living in a province that recognizes itself as a future 51st State rather than owning its True North Strong And Free roots. No one who has lived in Western Canada dreams of moving to Ontario.
If he did become a Leaf though…wow. You wouldn’t be able to keep people away from the Scotia Bank Arena.
Nope not worried, He's playing this season, I won't care until next June
LIGHT THE BEACONS
He’s coming to Vancouver
You guys are all CLOWNS !
Oilers fans should be worried that Stuart Skinner IS signed.
McDavid is contemplating his own contract and that is what is taking time. He wants to win so how much does he sign for. Same as his buddy Draisaitl for a couple of years. If the Oilers win a cup in that time then I can see McDavid playing somewhere else. This would not be a bad thing for the oilers. They have Draisaitl signed for 8 more years and he is a marque player on his own.
Oilers are in good shape no matter what McDavid does, but my belief he is agonizing on how much he should sign for. It must be tough to leave 3 or 4 million on the table. No wonder he is taking his time.
