\u201cIf I feel that there\u2019s a good window to win here over and over again, then signing is no problem,\u201d\u00a0Connor McDavid<\/a>\u00a0said at the end of the season and before he took some personal time to relax and enjoy the wedding of his good friend Leon Draisaitl<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t a guarantee he was going to re-sign with the Edmonton Oilers, but it was pretty close. <\/p>\n

Now, it looks like a deal with McDavid is around the corner. The Oilers might not yet know the terms of the contract or the AAV, but it does sound like they have a timeline on when this extension will get signed. <\/p>\n

Reports Are Surfacing About The McDavid Extension<\/p>\n

It sounds like the Oilers and McDavid will get on his extension right away, with the team and player both waiting until he\u2019s in town to finalize things. Per a few reports on Saturday, next week might be when fans should expect a real update. <\/p>\n

\u201cTeam Canada meets next week in Calgary,\u201d\u00a0said NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on the latest episode<\/a>\u00a0of the 32 Thoughts podcast. He added, \u201cI would expect after Connor McDavid<\/a> is done there and he goes back to Edmonton, they will work on getting this done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"McDavidMcDavid reaches another milestone<\/p>\n

According to the 2 Mutts Podcast<\/a>, \u201cWe are hearing that Connor McDavid & the @EdmontonOilers<\/a> will agree to a contract extension by or on September 3rd (Leon extension date last year). 3 to 4 years at $16M AAV is what we are hearing as of today. Does that change between now & then? Let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media content creator for Oilers Nation @Woz added,<\/a> \u201cThe more I think about it, the more it makes sense that the Oilers and McDavid would wait until he\u2019s back in town to finalize the extension. Considering the importance of the deal, they\u2019ll want to have a press conference at Rogers Place, etc. Not some Zoom interview.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Oilers want to make the news of McDavid\u2019s extension a big deal that the media and fans can watch when it is announced. That makes sense considering the importance of the extension and how much it will set the start of training camps off with a positive vibe. <\/p>\n
