Connor McDavid Breaks the Silence Regarding His Future in Edmonton

Connor McDavid is currently the best player in the NHL, and his contract in Edmonton is expiring in just three years.

McDavid Talks About His Future

In a recent interview, McDavid discussed his future in Edmonton:

"I love playing in Edmonton, and I really feel at home there. Lauren also loves being in Edmonton. Many things align for us in Edmonton. We are very comfortable there. However, that being said, it's three years down the road. We need to assess where our lives are at and proceed from there.

I don't say this to raise eyebrows or cause panic. It's just the reality. But I genuinely love playing in Edmonton, and I am fully committed to winning here with this group...

And we're going to see it through."

McDavid to Stay in Edmonton?

Every team would love to have a player like Connor McDavid on their roster. However, affording him might be a challenge. Unless a team plans well in advance before #97 becomes available on the market, only Edmonton will be in a position to sign him.

Oilers fans want nothing more than to see this become a reality. If the management can keep McDavid for the long run, there's no doubt that he will bring a Stanley Cup to Edmonton.
