A teaser video showed McDavid unleashing in the dressing room after the Oilers lost Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

With his teammate Leon Draisaitl having recently signed an eight-year, $112 million extension with a $14 million annual cap hit, McDavid’s new deal is expected to exceed that, though Pagnotta believes the superstar won’t be chasing an astronomical figure.

The Edmonton Oilers are a historic franchise, winning five Stanley Cups in seven years. Several superstars helped create the Oilers dynasty. Each talent leaves a mark, not just on the Oilers but on hockey history as well.

Devin Cooley was excellent in net for the Flames in Edmonton, making 43 saves on 45 shots, including some absolutely incredible stops in the third period. Calvin Pickard was less sharp at the other end of the ice, allowing four goals on 15 shots before ceding the crease to Brett Brochu.

With his current contract set to expire in two years, Edmonton Oilers superstar forward Connor McDavid was asked whether he feels a responsibility to set a new financial precedent for NHL superstars at the NHL Media Day held on September 11 in Las Vegas.
