Recently, ESPN reporter Greg Wyshynski sent shockwaves down the NHL, claiming that Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers hangs in the balance. Naturally, his bold take has ruffled feathers in Oil Country. Now, Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli chimes in on the conversation, providing Oilers fans with some much needed assurances.

It's no secret that Connor McDavid is up for a contract renewal in 2025-26, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see where his loyalties lie.

For those who missed it: Greg Wyshynski claims Connor McDavid may not re-sign with the Oilers

Greg Wyshynski said his informed speculation is that McDavid isn't at all guaranteed to stay in Edmonton, and the next few playoff years may decide his fate.

»I think that the next couple of playoff seasons for the Oilers, whilst Connor McDVid remains under contract are very, very important. I don't necessarily believe anymore that Leon signing is a harbinger for Connor signing. I don't think it's guaranteed.

- Greg Wyshynski

According to Oilers Nation, During Thursday's edition of DFO Rundown, Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor poured cold water on the idea due to McDavid's wife opening a bar in Edmonton, the team coming off a Game 7 loss in the Final and currently amid another strong season. Seravalli even went as far as to describe it as «clickbaity bullsh*t.»

«The premise was 'If the Oilers don't have success this year.' What? They got to the cup final Game 7 last year. What are we talking about here?» Seravalli said.

All I can say is...WOW! Although Frank Seravalli has been known to stir the pot from time-to-time, it's nice to see Greg Wyshynski get shut down in such dramatic fashion.

As far as I'm concerned, Connor McDavid is committed to the Oilers for the long-run, and I don't see any viable reason for him leaving the organization anytime soon.
