“Let’s dive into it and then let’s start with the summer story. If it weren’t for the summer story, it would certainly be quick, that is, we’re about a month away from the opening of the camp and the best players in the world, with Connor McDavid not having a contract with Edmonton Oilers.
Ah, everyone, panic sounded. People in Edmonton, Alberta are nervous. Should they? I don’t think so. Look, what I understand here, just for a quick update, it’s a very busy social summer for Connor McDavid because everyone sees it on social media. In Europe, the wedding of best friend Leon Draisaitl. We all saw this, his video on a motorboat with Leon Draisaitl. We see now famous photos of Leon Draisaitl, who posted photos of himself smoking a dart at the wedding, which was a chef’s kiss.

That’s the point we’re in with Connor McDavid and Edmonton Oilers. Therefore, I don’t worry that he will re-sign with the oiler. How long will this question last?
…
I just, it’s a pure spit because I don’t think even Connor McDavid and his camp knew the answer. But if I had to nail where I thought this would eventually land, I believe a four-year contract would be between $16 and $17 per year.

It may be two to eight. I don’t think they excluded eight. By the way, it’s a subtle reminder for everyone who is launching the new CBA, and it’s the last year you can sign a deal, up to eight years. I don’t know he’s very motivated to do this. Anyway, he will become a very, very rich man.
When he looked at the crystal ball and saw how much chance this Edmonton Oiler core had to go out and chase that very elusive Stanley Cup, as they became very close for two consecutive years, four years might be the best place to be here. ”
