Insider reveals Connor McDavid's next step could surprisingly be tied to Lauren Kyle's luxury ventures
Insider reveals Connor McDavid's next step could surprisingly be tied to Lauren Kyle's luxury ventures (Image via Getty) Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers has been the center of many talks after the team's Stanley Cup loss. But now, a new reason is coming up, one that has nothing to do with hockey stats. It's personal, and it might be powerful enough to change everything. It's about his wife, Lauren Kyle, and her growing business life in Edmonton. Connor McDavid's future may depend on wife Lauren Kyle's growing ventures in Edmonton On June 20, 2025, NHL insider Chris Johnston shared a fresh update on The Chris Johnston Show about Connor McDavid's situation. According to Johnston, one big reason why Connor McDavid may stay with the Oilers is because of his wife Lauren Kyle's success as a businesswoman in Edmonton. 'She's an entrepreneur,' J ohnston said on the show. 'She just opened a bar in Edmonton and has a lot of different ventures.' He said that Connor McDavid is signed for an eleventh season, having lived in Edmonton for ten years. The idea here is that the couple has created a life together in the city. And now with Lauren Kyle supporting nearby companies, the roots appear to be deepening. However, Johnston also gave a small warning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo 'They have to give him a reason to stay,' he said, pointing to how the team must continue building a winning roster to keep their star captain interested. McDavid's close bond with teammate Leon Draisaitl could also be a big factor. Draisaitl, who is also his best friend, has just started his new eight-year contract with the team. That long-term deal could be another reason for McDavid to remain. Connor McDavid may choose a short-term contract to keep pressure on the Oilers While many expect Connor McDavid to sign a long deal, Johnston suggested something different. He said a shorter contract like four or five years is more likely than the usual eight-year max.

'Not because he wants to leave, but because it keeps his options open.' The idea is that a shorter deal would remind the Oilers that they must stay competitive. With only one season left on Connor McDavid's current contract, the pressure is now on Edmonton to prove they can win soon or risk losing their captain and star player. Johnston's full remarks can be heard starting at the 3:18 mark of the June 20 episode. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

According to a recent report from ShuterScoop, a source close to the singer said that the 'Swift' name isn't going anywhere, no matter what her relationship status becomes. Taylor Swift has built an empire around her name and won't let it go 'not even for Travis' With Taylor Swift's brand being one of the most powerful in entertainment today, the decision seems rooted in far more than just personal preference. The insider stated, 'When she gets married, it's on her terms. And that Swift name's not changing.' Another quote from the same source emphasized that the 14-time Grammy winner has no plans to shift her identity, saying, 'She's not giving that up. Not even for Travis.' Indeed, Swift has meticulously crafted her brand over nearly two decades. From her signature lyrics to her billion-dollar Eras Tour, the name 'Taylor Swift' is more than just a personal identifier—it's a global trademark.
