This off-season, the Oilers extended Leon Draisaitl for a further eight years, and now his captain has answered questions about his future in Edmonton. After Leon Draisaitl's record breaking extension in Edmonton, all eyes now turn to Connor McDavid, who will be eligible to sign an extension in the summer of 2025, with $12.5 million AAV remaining on his current deal over the next two seasons. Now, McDavid has been asked about a potential extension with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall back in 2015, and unsurprisingly, he didn't give too much away with his answer. <q>It's something that I'm not gonna worry about, or really deal with. It's a question I'll answer once . . . I'm worried about this year, I'm worried about being ready for the season, both myself personally and the group. That's where my focus is at, it's not on anything else. That stuff takes care of itself. It's not something that I'm worried about.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OilersNation/status/1833578713965072757'> </a></blockquote></div> Despite the non-committal answers, the belief around the NHL is that McDavid will stay in Edmonton, as he believes he can win not just one but multiple Stanley Cup's, especially with Draisaitl beside him. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/OilerAlert/status/1831130124512854496'> </a></blockquote></div> However, there's still plenty of time for things to change, and with a record breaking market expected for him as a free agent, there's always a chance that he will look to see what else is out there, but for now, McDavid is keeping his cards very close to his chest.
