I believe we have a real chance to win, and that’s what keeps me motivated every day.”
The news has been met with widespread praise from both within the Oilers organization and across the NHL. General Manager Ken Holland expressed his delight, saying, “Connor is not only the best player in the world, but he is also the heart and soul of this franchise. We are thrilled to have him locked up for the long term, and we are committed to surrounding him with the pieces necessary to bring a championship to Edmonton.”
Fans in Edmonton are celebrating the news, with social media flooded with messages of support and excitement for the future. The Oilers have been in a “win-now” mode for the past few seasons, and McDavid’s extension provides the franchise with stability and hope for long-term success.
As the Oilers prepare for another Stanley Cup push, McDavid’s commitment to the team signals that the organization is poised to contend for championships for years to come. This contract extension not only cements McDavid’s legacy in Edmonton but also signals the Oilers’ intent to remain one of the league’s top teams for the foreseeable future.
