What’s next for Connor? “McDavid has only the 2025-26 season remaining on his existing contract. He is eligible to sign an extension in Edmonton as soon as July 1, but that doesn’t require a decision on his next deal to be made this summer. Choosing to wait, though, would invite speculation and heavy scrutiny, especially if a new McDavid contract isn’t in place by the time Oilers training camp opens in September.” [The Athletic ($)]
Has Evander Kane played himself out of Edmonton? “The 33-year-old had a decent-enough post-season, posting six goals and 12 points in 21 playoff games. That’s an improvement on his 2024 playoff production of four goals and eight points in 20 games, when he played through an injury. The problem, though, is Kane’s discipline.” [The Hockey News]
