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

Oilers fans got one reassuring bit of analysis on Monday. Bleacher Report's Adam Gretz wrote that he predicts Edmonton and McDavid to reach an extension agreement.

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?
