Connor McDavid will remain with the Edmonton Oilers after agreeing to a two-year, $25 million contract extension, as confirmed by the team on Monday. The extension comes amid ongoing speculation about McDavid’s future, with his previous contract set to expire after the 2025-26 season. McDavid, who has spent his entire career in Edmonton since being selected first overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, has made it clear in multiple interviews that his intention was to continue competing for a championship with the Oilers. At 28, McDavid remains one of the NHL’s most dominant centers, tallying 100 points and 26 goals in 67 games during the 2024-25 regular season—a total that was considered below his usual standard. Over his 10-year career, McDavid has amassed 1,082 points in just 712 games, ranking third in league history with 1.52 points per game, according to his ESPN profile. The new deal is notably less than Kirill Kaprizov’s recent eight-year, $136 million extension with the Minnesota Wild, but ensures Edmonton keeps its captain and three-time Hart Trophy winner. McDavid and the Oilers have reached the Stanley Cup Final in each of the past two seasons, only to fall to the Florida Panthers both times. Now, with his future secured, McDavid will focus on leading Edmonton back to the championship round and ending the franchise’s title drought.
