Did the chances of Connor McDavid staying in Edmonton just go down? π #SDP #oilers #nhl #hockey
He mentions the 2526 season in those words at least twice and that felt very intentional. Very Mitch Mner last season. Uh I’m committed to winning here. I’m committed to winning here. I’m committed to winning here this season. Yeah, but he kept saying this just feels a lot more direct and McDavid is a smart guy. He’s been the next one for over a decade. He’s known he was destined for this for a very long time. He’s generally guarded but pretty open and honest and media trained. Conor McDavid did not sit down and get blindsided by these questions. Yeah, he sat down knowing, “Oh yeah, I’m probably going to I’m I am going to get asked about this.” I don’t think anyone questions his efforts to win a Stanley Cup this year in Edmonton. But beyond that, and honestly, I think it’s whether they win or lose. I think today the chances of him staying just went

I watched this video and realized that my plans for the evening have changed. I will be re-watching it over and over againπ
Heβs isnβt resigning. Not saying he is signing in Toronto but I think he is moving on from Edmonton.
McDavid is taking a 'Wait and see' approach. If the Oilers get bounced in the first or second round in the playoffs this season he's gone.
Welcome home Connorβ¦. McDavid-Matthews-Tavares-Roy down the middleβ¦ ππππππ
Itβll be funny when he signs with Tampa or someplace like that. I could definitely see him playing along side Kucherov.
they should trade him if he wont sign
McDavid michkov Martone top line is going to hit like crack
"Sid's not leaving, Steve."
"OK, no problem"
Trying to make a story before there is one
If he leaves it'll be a "if I had a nickel for every time the world's best player left the Edmonton Oilers at the top of their game I'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice" type situation
If he wanted to stay he wouldβve signed a while ago. Why would he put him self through an entire annoying offseason of questioning? Doesnβt take a detective to figure this out. Heβs gone.
Down from 99% to 97%? Cuz where does he have a better chance of winning then here again? And anywhere even close would have to remove 17 million from their budget and then theyd no longer BE close πππ
Let's face it. All of Toronto is just waiting for him to fail in Edmonton and then come home and save their asses, because without a McDavid-caliber addition the Matthews-era Leafs are going nowhere.
Canadien Teams cant win the big one even when they have the next "Great One" π 1993?
Theyre so desperate lol
Imagine if this was happening and Edmonton had addressed the glaring goaltending problem?
The conversation would be completely different.
No one is blaming McDavid for any of this because EVERYONE knows Skinner/Pickard isn't a Cup winning tandem.
Give Connor the piece of the franchise as a signing bonus lol and Make him GM
The eeevil constructor that is the F-L-O-R-I-D-A PANTHERS… LOL
Connor, come win a Cup alongside Barkov, and then you go sign your lifetime contract wherever you want as a Stanley Cup WINNER. GO CATS!!!
It must be bliss being Adam; knowing everything and nothing all at all at once. Marner walks away from a choke job of a team and all of a sudden that applies to everyone except Crosby.
Watch him end up in Detroit or Vegas…..book it
He isn't staying. That interview was extremely eerie
I hope the oilers choke so bad it would be hilarious
McDavid to dallas
I could see Connor going to Tampa or Miami .
He's going to Tampa Bay
Connor McDavid leaving would be like Wayne Gretzky leaving all over again.
If the holes on the team are obvious and he hears the words "there are no trades" then he's gone.
They got a trade him sooner than later to get the most return
I smell a Tavares like homecoming brewing.
1.) come home to raise a family close to parents β
2.) go to a team capable of beating Florida if I join β
3.) win Stanley Cup and go down as the greatest hockey player legend in Leafs nations history β
Reaching for straws aren't we. Can't wait till the deal is signed
Ahaha you fags think he's gunna sign with the leafs. Y'all have no one on your team and no other team is better then the Oilers or Panthers.
And how did the team improve the goal tending the past 2 seasons? Not! Plus the free agency value, why would he ever sign that away again?
Oh he's so gone. And will be forever remembered as the truly generational player who just couldn't win. Remember, he's never won at any major level. Not in Triple A, OHL, NHL… notta
Once leon signed for 14/aav McDavid knew Edmonton would never have the cap space required to get the supporting cast needed to win. So he'll play out here and sign somewhere for way under market value to win a cup.
If mcdavid doesnt go to the finals with the oilers i need to see him leave and join the carolina hurricanes or panthers
He would probably stay long term but his camera craving wife probably doesnβt want to stay in Edmonton. I see him going to LA, NY, NJ, Tampa, something along those lines. Maybe Chicago. Seeing McD and Bedard on a line together would be insane.
