Connor McDavid's Wife Tears Up as Oilers Forward Bids Farewell originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
As Connor Brown closed the chapter on his time with the Edmonton Oilers, a message from Connor McDavid's wife, Lauren Kyle, captured the attention of Oilers fans and sparked a new wave of speculation.
Brown, who signed a four-year, $12 million deal with the New Jersey Devils, posted a farewell on Instagram this week.
'Thank you to the fans for two incredible years and unwavering support. Edmonton will always hold a very special place in our hearts,' Brown wrote. 'Ready for a new chapter and excited to be a @njdevils 👀😈'
Kyle responded quickly to Brown's farewell message, posting her own reply on the player's post on Instagram, and she couldn't hold her emotions.
'😭💙🧡' Kyle posted first, before adding, 'Oil for life.'
The latter comment instantly drew massive interest and 745 likes. Outside of Instagram, some fans interpreted Kyle's comment as a potential signal of McDavid's long-term intentions.
Some viewed Kyle's phrase as an emotional tribute to Brown's tenure, while others saw it as something more pointed — possibly a subtle message that McDavid, who is entering his final season under contract, is about to re-sign a long-term deal with Edmonton.
While it's fair to assume that Lauren Kyle was saying something akin to "once an Oiler, always an Oiler,' as other franchises' fan bases have used before, some fans jumped to early conclusions regarding McDavid's future.
Brown, meanwhile, played a key role during Edmonton's back-to-back runs to the Stanley Cup Final, tallying 13 goals and 30 points in the regular season and adding nine more in the playoffs, appearing in 20 games.

Sabres avoid arbitration by signing defenseman Connor Timmins to 2-year, $4.4 million contract

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres avoided a salary arbitration hearing with Conor Timmins by signing the newly acquired defenseman to a two-year, $4.4 million contract on Sunday. The 26-year-old Timmins was a restricted free agent and acquired with defenseman Isaac Beliveau in a trade that sent blue-liner Connor Clifton to the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 28. The Sabres are Timmins' fifth team in six NHL seasons since the 2017 second-round draft pick broke into the league with Colorado in 2019-20.
