NHL Rumor: What is Connor McDavid trying to feel?
Bowman: “Yes, well, I think Connor has been open to his ideas and I don’t want to talk to him, but I don’t think there is really no secret. Or, there is nothing more about this story, except that he just takes the time and we respect what we understand.
I mean, you know, I think he’s obviously the best player in the game and we love to make him here, he’s our captain and our leader. And, we are excited about it, and excited about this season. And, I think he’s just working hard on his own, we kind of understand, so we’ll be patient, but he knows we like to let him go here and we want him to stay in Edmondson. This is the process we are going through now. ”
nhlrumors.com comment: Similarly, the Edmonton Oilers know the position with Connor McDavid. McDavid is clear in all his answers and is taking the time to evaluate what is going on. It’s hard to plan the rest of your life in just one or two days. He does have a busy offseason outside of hockey. As Bowman points out, Connor McDavid is hoping to win the Stanley Cup in Edmonton. They respect the process he is going through. So is their hockey action CEO Jeff Jackson.
There are so many well-known people on the market this year that McDavid is working on it all. He knew he deserved a fair reward, but he also knew there was a salary cap. So whatever he ultimately wants or acquires can affect how the team is built around him. With players’ understanding of the rise in salary caps, they can seek greater value. Not to mention, there is a guy Kirill Kaprizov in the wild in Minnesota who also has a chance to reset the market.
