Oilers star Connor McDavid maintains that he wants to ‘take my time’ with contract extension talks

The star of Edmonton Oilers, Connor McDavid, could be one of the largest agents in the NHL history if it reaches the market open next summer. For the first time since Edmonton lost to Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup final in June, McDavid spoke on Wednesday in the media in the Canada Olympic Orientation Camp in Calgary and reiterated that he does not want to hurry any contracting conversation.

“As I said in June, I had all the intentions of taking my time with this and I still feel the same way,” said McDavid. “Take -weather and go through everything.”

McDavid also revealed that he still has the desire to help Oilers achieve the glory of the later season, although he was in the final of the Stanley Cup in each of the last two seasons.

“I intend to win in Edmonton, this is my only approach maybe next to winning the gold medal with Canada. Take the time and spend it with my family, my agent and all involved,” said McDavid.

According to Ryan Rishaug de TsnBoth parties have not participated in a discussion until this time. McDavid and his agent, Judd Moldada, work through their options and decide how it might seem like a potential agreement.

McDavid is about to enter the last year of an eight -year contract of $ 100 million signed in July 2017.

During the regular season of 2024-25, McDavid reached the sixth point more (100) in the league when he scored 26 goals and recorded 74 assists. McDavid was also tied with his teammate Leon Draisaitl for a maximum of 33 points throughout the Playoffs of the Stanley Cup.

McDavid will return to a list of Oilers who underwent some notable changes during the low season. Veteran striker Evander Kane and Corey Perry have left the city, while the team signed the former Washington Capitals Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year agreement and landed the former State star of Michigan Isaac Howard in a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
