How Connor McDavid's leadership, the Conn Smythe victory, and relentless drive continue to fuel the Edmonton Oilers in their Stanley Cup quest
Image Via Getty Images ( Connor McDavid's leadership) A very few athletes exist around the world of sports whose presence can uplift an entire franchise; Connor McDavid is undoubtedly one such athlete. Losing in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final was heartbreaking, but McDavid was still the shining star. Breaking all records in the postseason, McDavid became the first skater in over 20 years to win the Conn Smythe Trophy while on the losing team testament to his greatness and grassy impact on the game. The Conn Smythe win for Connor McDavid is for a rare NHL achievement McDavid scores first of Stanley Cup Final series In the 2024 postseason, the Edmonton Oilers had the best player; McDavid was simply an outstanding player with 42 points in 25 games, the highest among all. His help was instrumental for the Oilers to push deep into the Stanley Cup Final. Though the Oilers went down in Game 6 to the Florida Panthers, the Conn Smythe went to McDavid. He is only the sixth player in NHL history to have one without the Cup, last witnessed in 2003 with Jean-Sebastien Giguere. This award was further confirmation of McDavid's standing as the modern icon of hockey. Connor McDavid earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as the 2024 #stanleycup Playoffs #mvp #shorts Offseason 2025: The Edmonton Oilers' next moves circling Connor McDavid With the dust settling on the Stanley Cup, future interests very quickly came into play. Edmonton's management, led by GM Ken Holland, is already being pushed to put the team in the best shape for one more deep run. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Defense is still a concern, and free agents may be out there to somehow shore up support for McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. McDavid is signed through 2026, but early contract talks have already begun among NL circles. Some have predicted it could break salary records, although McDavid himself has stayed in the spotlight with the focus on winning and not the money. This same offseason could decide Draisaitl's future, since here is the other star whose contract will expire in 2025. Both have expressed a wish to stay, but their commitment to the team may depend on whether the right players are brought in to support them. Connor McDavid: more than a player, the emotional core of the franchise In between all the skills, speed, and records, Connor McDavid is the very spirit of Edmonton hockey. His ability to put things into perspective, even after a tremendous disappointment like a Stanley Cup loss, just speaks so much for his leadership. McDavid leads by example in every practice, every game, every loss- that building spirit for his teammates, inspiring the fans, and this world of hockey just cannot afford to lose sight of him. The class shown in his post-Final remarks last season was behind him; now it was time to grow and prepare for next season. After such mental processing is what takes him beyond an elite forward; it is what makes him a champion in the making. The 2024 playoff heroics of Connor McDavid, accompanied by the rare Conn Smythe Trophy win with no victory in sight, characterize a player at the height of his power and maturity. With a crucial offseason ahead of the Edmonton Oilers, one thing is crystal clear: as long as McDavid is an Oiler, a Stanley Cup will never be far from hope. His story is far from over-just entering its most exciting chapter. Also Read: How will the Edmonton Oilers retain Connor McDavid?

Colorado Avalanche needs to get better at late-round drafting to remain in Stanley Cup window
Colorado Avalanche (via Getty Images) The Colorado Avalanche have made a Stanley Cup championship core from the top of the draft. Nathan MacKinnon. Cale Makar. Mikko Rantanen. Bowen Byram. All of them are first-rounders. But as they try to stay a serious Stanley Cup contender deep into the 2020s, one inarguable flaw could sap their chances: a poor history of discovering talent after Round 1. Where is Colorado Avalanche lacking? The Colorado Avalanche haven't drafted a player in a non-first-round pick who's played 300 NHL games since 2009—the year they chose Ryan O'Reilly (2nd) and Tyson Barrie (3rd). That's a long period for a team that's now feeling the financial pinch of a star-studded roster. Since 2010, Colorado's performance after Round 1 has been disappointing: Will Butcher (2013): 275 NHL games A.J. Greer (2015): 248 games, but only 37 with Colorado Calvin Pickard (2010): 175 games, lost to expansion Sampo Ranta (2018): played 16 NHL games, now back in Europe. Matthew Stienburg (2019): Depth upside only. Alex Beaucage (2019) and Andrei Buyalski (2021): Out of the organization. Where do all of the Colorado Avalanche trades stand now that the NHL is officially in offseason? And it's not even that they didn't pan out as stars—too many of these selections failed even to become consistent AHL contributors, lessening their worth both on the ice and in trades. There are glimmers of hope: Justus Annunen (2018, 3rd round): Now a potential NHL backup and already assisted in acquiring Scott Wedgewood Sean Behrens (2021, 2nd round): Remains in the organization and looks like an NHL defenseman if he can remain healthy and address size issues William Zellers (2024): Had his coming-out USHL season, though ultimately traded for Charlie Coyle But with no selection in the opening three rounds of the 2025 or 2026 NHL Draft, the pressure is now firmly on Colorado's scouting and development staffs to find value late—or see their championship window evaporate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 마지막으로 2025년 최고의 좀비 게임을 무료로 즐기세요 경복의 바다 플레이하기 Undo Colorado's Cup core remains whole, for now. But MacKinnon's $12.6M cap hit is in effect, and Cale Makar's next contract won't come cheap. Having NHL-ready players on entry-level or cheap deals is no longer a luxury—it's a requirement. Smart organizations plan their bottom six and bottom pair, not only their stars. The Avs got the first-round template right. Now they must identify their Rust, Murray, or Guentzel to keep this window open through 2028 and beyond. Winning one Stanley Cup is difficult. Winning two is more difficult. The Penguins demonstrated that reloading via the draft, even past the glow of round one, is the way dynasties sustain themselves. Also read: NHL trade rumor: Jonathan Toews reportedly choosing between Jets and Avalanche as decision nears For Colorado to win another banner, they must begin striking on more Day 2 and Day 3 selections—because this core isn't getting any younger, and the cap isn't getting any more generous.
