Connor McDavid opens up about his future contract in recent interview
Edmonton Oilers superstar recently did an interview with the Athletics Daniel Nugent-Bowman, providing fans a glimpse of what potentially lies ahead.
The Edmonton Oilers are currently fighting to clean up their slow start to the NHL season, but you would be remiss not to acknowledge Connor McDavid's contract renewal set to happen in 2025-26.
Connor McDavid has never been known to be too enthusiastic during interviews, and he kept things pretty straight with Daniel Nugent-Bowman.
»I want to win. That's it. That's all that matters to me at this point in my career.
- Connor McDavid
As per Connor McDavid, the only thing that interests him is being part of a winning environment -- an environment he knows exists in the city of Edmonton
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, Connor McDavid Hints At Taking a Discount on his Next Contract to Win
McDavid took a salary discount on his last contract, and it sounds like he'll be willing to do so again this time. When asked if he was going to reset the market with a high salary this time, McDavid didn't seem too interested.
«I feel like I set the market a long time ago. That held for a long time. The cap was pretty stagnant there for a while My priority is to win. My priority is to take care of my family. Those are the two things that I worry about.»
Instead of losing sleep over what his next contract is going to be worth, he provides subtle hints that he's willing to make things work, granted the team is playing at a high level.
Oilers CEO Jeff Jackson also provided fans some insight of where things potentially might go when McDavid signs his new deal.
»Right now, we're focused on where we are in the season. It's too early for that. I'm confident we're going to keep Connor here for a long time, but that's his decision in the end.»
