Frank Seravalli leaks major news regarding McDavid and Draisaitl's new contracts
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have transformed the Edmonton Oilers into contenders, and now the two stars are set to renew their contracts with the team.
Despite a heartbreaking loss in the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals, the Oilers' future looks bright with McDavid and Draisaitl leading the way. According to reports, Leon Draisaitl is expected to sign a new eight-year deal with the Oilers in the coming weeks, securing his place with the team for the long term.
Next up for a contract extension is captain Connor McDavid. Oilers insider Frank Seravalli suggests that both players could sign deals that, combined, total less than $30 million per year which is a potential bargain for two of the NHL's top talents.
If these deals are finalized, McDavid and Draisaitl could become the highest-paid players in the league, surpassing Auston Matthews' recent contract of $13.25 million per year. Given their importance to the Oilers' resurgence, many believe these contracts could pave the way for multiple Stanley Cup victories, echoing the team's success in the 1980s.
McDavid is eligible for an extension in the summer of 2025, with his current contract expiring in 2026. If both stars remain with the Oilers long-term, Edmonton may be on the brink of another golden era.
