Connor McDavid intends to take his time on any contract-extension decision while entering the final year of his deal. He expresses a clear intention to win in Edmonton and also aims to win an Olympic gold with Canada. McDavid plans to review options with his family and agent and emphasizes a slow, deliberate process. He states that all options remain on the table and has no strong preference about entering the season with or without an extension. McDavid wants the team focused for Day 1 and free of distractions. The Oilers still face unresolved goaltending concerns.
"I'll take my time and go through everything. I have every intention to win in Edmonton - that's my only focus, and maybe next would be to win a gold medal with Canada. "That is my intention, to win there. Take my time to go through it with my family, my agent, everybody involved. So, we're going through it slowly."
"All options are on the table. Like I said, we're going through it. I don't have a preference either way - I want the group to be as dialed in and ready to roll on Day 1 and we don't need any distractions."
Connor McDavid says he still wants to take his time before working on a contract extension with the Oilers. "I have every intention to win in Edmonton."
