Speculation.. I strongly doubt that McD has ever said anything like that. He's always been a wait n see kind a guy when it comes to contract talk. He did that with his previous 8 year deal and then the extension with no pay increase! Like McD, he's a skilled player that desperately wants to win. I really hope he does.
|
He can’t sign anything until July 1st, 2027, too. A whole season left to play. Gotta hope it’s a good one!
|
The timing is a little convenient right as the Babcock controversy is a talking point, and everyone speculating it will be the beginning of McDavid's exit.
Honestly, I wouldn't believe anything the media speculate, including Stauff. Last summer, it was a "sure thing" McDavid was going to sign an max extension shortly after July 1. It ended up being a 2-year deal days before the season started. They all got that wrong all summer long, I'm not sure why I'd believe them now.
|
Well to be fair to Stauffer he wasn't one of the people saying McD was signing the max term last contract.. he was setting up fan expectations for something less.. so when he says McD is considering a max term next contract.. I'm hopeful because for all his failings he usually telegraphs whats being considered internally.. and eventually whats going to happen.. fingers crossed.. I need this ray of positivity! 🌞

On the Bob topic. He has also been going very hard in defense of the Babcock thing. He's been arguing with a lot of media guys against it, and laying on very thick the idea that the players want Babcock just as much as anyone higher up in the Oilers org. Saying the players want him IMO implies mainly that McDavid and Drai want Babcock.
I don't doubt for a second that Babcock is able to put on a good show for everyone to get a sweet payday out of Katz. And letting McDrai feel some ownership of getting Babcock helps management spread some blame and guilt around if it all goes bad. If thing go good for 1 year, maybe we get that 7 year deal! If it goes bad, maybe we can guilt McDavid into another 2 year deal, I mean, he DID say he really wanted Babcock :)
Quite a strange offseason so far.
