Oilers GM Turns Heads With Connor McDavid Announcement on Friday

Oilers GM Turns Heads With Connor McDavid Announcement on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers barely have time to regroup from their bitter Stanley Cup Final loss to the Florida Panthers before needing to face their next challenge -- the future of star Connor McDavid. Advertisement The former No. 1 overall pick has one year left on his contract, but the team can sign an extension starting on July 1. Oilers general manager Stan Bowman announced on Friday that bringing McDavid back is a priority, but they will be letting him set the timeline for a new deal. "Certainly we're eager to meet with him whenever he wants, but also understanding that he just went through a very tough ending to the season," Bowman said, via Sportsnet. "Timing-wise, Connor's gonna drive that process, but there's no question, he's a pivotal player on our team, and not just what he does on the ice, but his leadership." Bowman added that the Oilers still see McDavid as the cornerstone of the team, sharing some praise for his leadership qualities.
