As the offseason rolls on, so do the Edmonton Oilers’ player grades. Next up is Connor McDavid, and his grade for the 2024-25 season

Connor McDavid is primed to make history for the Edmonton Oilers, and for once, it won't be on the ice as his next contract awaits.

The contract’s term will undoubtedly be something that needs to be decided upon first. Does he opt for a shorter-term, four-year deal to keep the pressure on the Oilers and allow the now 28-year-old to cash in once again in his early 30’s? Or does he opt for the long-term, eight-year deal in the final season that players will be allowed to do so?
