Forward and captain of Edmonton, Connor McDavid, has signed a new two-year contract with the Canadian club.
This is reported by the press service of the Oilers.
Over two years with the Oilers, McDavid will earn $25 million. The cap hit is $12.5 million — a modest reward for the best scorer of modern times. This is $4.5 million less than Kirill Kaprizov's new deal with Minnesota...
It is reported that in the 2026/27 season, Connor will receive a base salary of $850,000 and a signing bonus of $13.4 million, and in the 2027/28 season — $900,000 + $9.85 million. The agreement includes a no-trade clause without the player's consent.
The 28-year-old McDavid was selected by Edmonton with the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. He has played a total of 712 regular-season games for the Oilers, earning 1,082 points (361+721). In the playoffs, he has 96 games and 150 points (44+106).
On the international stage, Connor has won World Championships with the Canadian national team at the junior (2013), under-20 (2015), and senior (2016) levels.
