Edmonton Oilers fans shouldn’t be nervous, but this may start once the season begins
TSN: Pierre Lebrun surpassed Connor McDavid’s speeding on TSN because he wanted to know the future and direction of the Edmonton Oilers. If he decides to re-sign, the negotiations will be short. Oilers knew the process wouldn’t be fast, and they were OK. The earliest fans should have a little attention that might be the beginning of the regular season, but obviously he can sign at any time.

LeBron: “McDavid, it’s obvious before a lot of us go on vacation, we talked about that, he’s never rushing. We said we don’t think it’s July 1 thing. But you know…”
Jeff O’Neill: “But, for Pierre, isn’t he very anxious? Like, what is he…”
NHL and NHLPA are still looking at the All-Star Game Concept in 2026 and 2027
LeBron: “Well, my understanding, yes, my understanding is that he is going through his own internal process with his agent Judd Muldaver. It’s not about this not, and I hope everyone knows it’s not like they start walking back and forth on the numbers. That part will be the easiest part. Years.
The process was McDavid had many conversations with Oilers Management, but more importantly, his own agents were on the future implementation. What is this team? What will this team look like in a few years? This is very important. He was a very smart guy and before paying tribute to them, I think he wanted to know his commitment in his heart and in his mind.
This shouldn’t scare anyone in Edmonton, even though I guess that’s not a dunk, he’s just very careful and working through it. Whenever he wakes up one day and decides, “Well, I’m taking myself to the end of the process. Now, we’re ready to go to the next level and negotiate.” He’ll then tell, tell his agent, but until that moment happens, that’s where they are.
I know, I met Stan Bowman at the GM conference in Detroit yesterday, and Bowman insisted that they knew it was a 97 process, they were going to go through, they were very patient. They didn’t bother with it from scratch. They just sit there and say, “Hey, when you guys are ready, we’ll be ready.”
At the same time, you know, they have a lot of conversations with the agents and they are kindly back and forth. But it doesn’t matter until 97 decides that he is ready. That could be next week. Probably a month. Probably before Christmas. Who knows when he decided he was ready. It may be tomorrow. But the reality is that he just was uncomfortable, but he was going to the next level in that conversation. ”
NHL Rumor: Carey Price’s contract will be seriously worn on Montreal Canadians
O’Neill: “So Pierre, let me get you off on McDavid and we can find some other people. If you have a Q&A with some fans of the Oilers and one of them asks you, when did you start to panic? What is your answer?
Because the same thing happened to John Tavares. Like, this is business. I have to weigh all the options. I’m going to do this. And then January, ah, it’s business, man, it’s between my agent and the general manager. This is the business. Then the season is over, the same thing, and then suddenly, you wear the Leaf jersey. ”
LeBron: “Yes. Well, by the way, I didn’t offer anything. Well, I guess not. I didn’t offer anything. Leon Draisaitl signed his renewal a year ago on September 3.
Yes. I mean, I think, if there is no extension, I think once the puck drops in October, you have to start to get nervous. Again, I tell you that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the year, because I think part of the reason McDavid went through is, what is this team like? You know, this season and beyond.
I’ll also tell you that no matter how it goes, I think it’s really important for McDavid, like, assuming he doesn’t have an autograph, I think it’s the most unlikely option. But, assuming that’s where he ends up bringing himself, I’m sure I think it’s important to him to make sure the Oiler gets rewards when he exits. It’s like he really cares about that market.
NHL Rumor: Is Elias Pettersson actually traded by Vancouver?
But again, this is not my best choice. I think he eventually signed. I don’t think it’s long-term. I think if he signed it, it would be short-term. Whether short or medium, you will choose. I think it’s still about trying to win the cup in Edmonton. But I don’t know, you know how many years it will take. That’s just my guess. Obviously, no one even touched there, so you’re guessing, but that’s where I’m going. ”
