Connor McDavid's Time in Edmonton is Coming to an End?
It is hard to fathom a Connor McDavid trade. It would be a deal beyond the realms of the Wayne Gretzky trade, and it would change the entire NHL.
While it is hard to imagine, it is a genuine possibility. If McDavid tells Oilers management that he doesn't intend on re-signing, a trade would be the obvious option.
Paul Bissonette of Spittin' Chiclets put it as such:
They should go to Connor and say 'Are you considering re-signing here?'
And if not try to get as big a return as possible.
It isn't a crazy idea to imagine that McDavid is growing tired in Edmonton, as he spends as much time as he can in his California home.
I think at some point living in Edmonton and being in those surroundings.... my understanding is that Connor has a house in California and that he escapes to California quite a bit, just to get away from all the noise," said Bissonnette.
With 3 years left on McDavid's deal, a trade would likely happen in the 2024-25 season. Let the trade rumours begin!
