“Let’s dive in, and let’s begin with, effectively, possibly the story of the summer time. And if it’s not the story of the summer time, then it’s definitely going to be very shortly, and that’s, we’re about one month away from the opening of coaching camps and the most effective participant on this planet, Connor McDavid, doesn’t have a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
Ah, everybody, panic alarms sounding. Folks in Edmonton, Alberta are nervous. Ought to they be? I don’t assume so.

Abroad, in Europe, at finest buddy Leon Draisaitl’s marriage ceremony. All of us noticed this, the movies of him on jet ski’s with Leon Draisaitl. We noticed Leon Draisaitl’s now-infamous picture that he posted of himself smoking a dart at his personal marriage ceremony, which was chef’s kiss.

They’re nonetheless type of very early on within the course of, and but there doesn’t appear to be any trace of nerves or panic or worry from both the Edmonton Oilers facet, as finest as I can inform, and likewise the McDavid facet. That I’d anticipate in comparatively quick order right here, whether or not it’s within the subsequent week or two, that, that course of will start to ramp up.
And that, basically, the way in which it’s been defined to me is the minute that Connor McDavid picks his head up off the pillow and decides that he want to have a contract extension executed, that’s the day that it’ll occur. It could possibly be that fast, as a result of there’s probably not a lot of a negotiation right here.
That is the most effective participant on this planet, naming his worth. He’s going to slip a bit of paper to Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson of the Edmonton Oilers and he’s going to say, that is what I’d wish to be paid, and that is how I’d wish to construction the contract.

I’m simply, it is a pure spit ball, as a result of I feel even Connor McDavid and his camp don’t know the reply to this but. But when I needed to peg the place I feel this can in the end land, I imagine will probably be someplace between $16 and $17 and a half million a yr on a four-year deal.

I don’t know that he’s terribly incentivized to take action. He’s going to be a really, very rich man regardless.
And 4 years is likely to be the candy spot right here, as he appears into his crystal ball and sees simply what number of alternatives that this Edmonton Oiler core has an opportunity to exit and chase that very elusive Stanley Cup, as they’ve gotten fairly darn shut two years in a row.”
