Connor McDavid Secures Two-Year, $25 Million Extension with Edmonton Oilers
Connor McDavid has signed a two-year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers worth $25 million. This agreement, made just before the season kicks off, ensures that McDavid will remain with the team for the upcoming seasons.
Details of the Contract Extension
The contract stipulates that McDavid will have a salary cap hit of $12.5 million for the years 2026 to 2028. This figure mirrors the amount he has been earning since 2019, underscoring the consistency of his financial commitment.
McDavid’s Standing in the NHL
- Three-time MVP
- Regarded as the best hockey player in the world
- Has played only for the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL
Despite his star status and influence in the league, McDavid’s recent deal does not rival the richest contract in NHL history. That title belongs to Kirill Kaprizov of Minnesota, who signed an eight-year deal valued at $136 million.
Focus on Championship Goals
McDavid’s decision for a shorter contract reflects his priorities. He aims to lead the Oilers to a Stanley Cup victory in the near future. This extension signifies his ongoing commitment to the organization and its objectives.
