NHL analyst suggests bold two-step contract strategy for Connor McDavid under new CBA rules
Connor McDavid's future looms large (Credit: Getty Images) The Edmonton Oilers find themselves at a pivotal moment with NHL superstar Connor McDavid. Following another disappointing loss in the Stanley Cup Final, the franchise is under pressure to secure the long-term services of its captain. McDavid's current eight-year, $100 million contract, signed in 2017, runs through the 2025-26 season, carrying a $12.5 million average annual value. By the time it expires, he will become an unrestricted free agent, opening the door to potential suitors across the league. — NHL (@NHL) NHL analyst proposes a two-phase extension plan A league analyst has suggested that Edmonton abandon the conventional single long-term extension in favor of a calculated two-step approach. Step one would see McDavid sign a one-year extension in August 2026 for the 2026-27 season worth $14.6 million AAV. That season, the NHL salary cap is projected at $104 million. Step two would involve McDavid signing a three-year extension in January 2027, when the cap is expected to climb to $113 million. This timing would align his earnings with the cap's upward trajectory. And give the Oilers more breathing room to strengthen the roster in the short term. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The plan takes advantage of the CBA rule that allows a player's salary to reach up to 20% of the league cap. Based on future projections, McDavid's contract could approach the unprecedented figure of $20 million annually. Connor McDavid's potential record-setting earnings If executed, this two-phase plan could see McDavid earn approximately $65.6 million over four seasons, averaging $16.4 million annually. That would surpass Auston Matthews' league-leading $13.25 million AAV. And even Leon Draisaitl's upcoming $14 million deal, solidifying McDavid's status as one of the highest-paid players in NHL history. A franchise cornerstone worth the investment Since being selected first overall in the 2015 NHL Draft. McDavid has been the face of the Oilers and one of the most dominant players in hockey; he has recorded an astounding 1,082 points, including 361 goals and 721 assists. Becoming the engine behind Edmonton's offense and a perennial Hart Trophy contender. Securing McDavid's future will be the Oilers' most significant off-ice challenge in the coming years. This creative contract strategy could provide the perfect balance between rewarding the game's best player and giving the team the flexibility to capture the Stanley Cup that has eluded them finally.

Such is the level of inflation that Cristiano Ronaldo's move from Manchester United to Real Madrid for over €80 million—which was the world-record sum back in the 2009/10 season, is now among the lower ranks, and even less than what Manchester United paid Ajax for Brazilian winger Antony in the 2022/23 season (approximately €85 million). The current deal that tops the charts is Neymar Jr's world-record transfer from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which cost the Parisian club a whopping €222 million (₹1,776 crore) back in the 2017/18 season. Surpassing the €150 million (₹1,440 crore) mark, Kylian Mbappé took the second spot in the table when the French youngster switched clubs from AS Monaco to PSG. 2017/18 season: Changing football transfers for the world With three of the top five most expensive signings in world football currently coming in the 2017/18 season, with Neymar's move shocking world football, the world started viewing transfers in another light and saw inflated price tags become a common sighting from then on.

A strong rebound followed: €9.34 billion in 2022, then peaking at €12.24 billion in 2023, the highest on record. Although 2024 saw a 10% decline, total spending remained significantly elevated at €10.96 billion, the second-highest annual total ever.
