The Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid could get ready to drop a major announcement on fans soon. The club could be inking McDavid to a new contract extension in the coming weeks. But it won’t be for the terms fans would expect.
According to an X post published by the 2 Mutts Podcast on August 10, the Oilers could be signing McDavid before the start of training camp. Specifically, the announcement could come following the conclusion of the Team Canada orientation camp to be held in Calgary from August 26 to 28.
The orientation camp will close out the summer as the Canadian squad prepares for the upcoming 2026 Milano-Cortina Games.
