NHL Analyst Points Oilers 'Core Four' Issue If Connor McDavid Re-Signs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Connor McDavid’s next contract could reshape the Edmonton Oilers ’ salary structure, but not necessarily in a good way, at least according to former NHL player and current analyst Paul Bissonnette.

Connor McDavid is still locked in with the Oilers, but his future has become a big point of discussion after another Stanley Cup Final loss.

The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, however, has presented a future scenario Oilers fans may not want to hear, let alone see happening. The NHL insider reported on Saturday that McDavid is likely to re-sign with Edmonton, but unlikely to sign a maximum-length extension when he becomes eligible to do so on July 1, 2025.
