Dreams of NHL superstar Connor McDavid donning red, white, and blue with the New York Rangers were dashed Monday — at least for now.
One day before the start of the 2025-26 season, the three-time Hart Trophy winner re-upped with the Edmonton Oilers on a two-year contract extension worth $12.5 million annually. After leading the Oilers to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances but falling both times to the Florida Panthers, McDavid is keeping the championship window open in Edmonton for at least another three seasons, inking a team-friendly deal that reinforces his promise to bring a championship to the city of Edmonton.
