97 can say as often as he likes that going into the season without an extension won't be a distraction but the reality is that it will be an enormous distraction and he knows that. Not to mention that not signing is essentially confirming that he is done in Edmonton in 2026.
Whatever negotiating and bargaining is going on behind the scenes it really doesn't matter. Get a deal done - he can not start the year without an extension. If he does they are going to need to start figuring out how to go about trading Connor Mcdavid.

It sounds to me like he wants to go to UFA and get the best deal for himself. He can literally get an offer from every team in the league and take his pick. He may or may not take the deal for the most money, but he will have his own criteria. That's what free agency is for, and it's definitely what I would do for myself if I had the opportunity.
He doesn't owe Edmonton anything.

True - and the city/team don't owe him anything. He can do what he wants and his teammates, fans etc can feel how they want about his choice.
The fact that it will continue to be a massive distraction is undeniable though. I do think if he wants to go to UFA that's fine and his choice but its not unreasonable to expect him to make that clear to the team and allow them to get something for him. Along the lines of what Tkatchuk did in Calgary.
Either way if he starts the year without a contract, he's gone anyways so just for entertainment sake it would be fun if they ripped the 'C' off his jersey and put it on 29 where it belongs.
