Overview
- Team president and CEO Jeff Jackson told TSN’s Pierre LeBrun the Oilers did not get an official trade offer for Connor McDavid before he re-signed.
- McDavid agreed to a two-year, $25 million extension that maintains his $12.5 million AAV, keeping him with Edmonton through at least the summer of 2028.
- Jackson reiterated the organization’s plan to keep the core of McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together and remain in the Stanley Cup hunt.
- The Oilers opened the 2025–26 season 2-0-1, with McDavid recording four assists in the first three games.
- A rumor roundup notes Edmonton’s cap is tight and trade assets are limited, making a major in-season addition unlikely, with greater flexibility projected next summer after a recent depth signing of Jack Roslovic.
