Oilers’ McDavid won’t rush contract extension, says winning is top priority
EDMONTON — Two days after losing in the Stanley Cup final, Connor McDavid says he’s not in a rush to make a decision about his future.
The Edmonton Oilers captain, widely considered the best player in the world, is entering the final season of an eight-year, US$100-million contract next season.
McDavid becomes eligible to sign an extension on July 1, but says there’s no need to place a timeline on it.
The Oilers fell in six games to the Panthers, losing to Florida in the final for the second consecutive year.
