Overview

  • TSN reports Connor McDavid and agent Judd Moldaver have not entered talks about dollars or term, with his camp still weighing options.
  • Speaking at Hockey Canada’s orientation camp, McDavid said he intends to win in Edmonton and is comfortable taking his time to decide when to sign.
  • Oilers GM Stan Bowman previously described early conversations with McDavid’s camp as very encouraging but not yet detailed.
  • McDavid became extension-eligible July 1, enters the final year of his eight-year, $100 million contract, and can reach unrestricted free agency in 2026.
  • Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman suggested more substantive discussions could begin between the orientation camp and the start of Oilers training camp, while Edmonton has already locked in Leon Draisaitl on an eight-year, $14 million AAV deal.
