Connor McDavid is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NHL today and it's exciting to see him play at such a high level. If he continues at this pace, he could potentially challenge some of the all-time greats in terms of point production. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out for him and if he can reach the 150-point mark. Regardless of the outcome, his skills and accomplishments on the ice are sure to be remembered for years to come. McDavid's value will likely continue to rise with each passing year and the Edmonton Oilers will have to decide whether they want to allocate the necessary resources to keep him on their roster. Re-signing a player of McDavid's caliber is no easy task, as his salary demands are likely to be extremely high. It's always a difficult decision for teams to make when they have a star player entering the final years of their contract, especially when that player is considered one of the best in the game. However, it's still a few years away, and a lot can change between now and then, so it's hard to predict exactly what will happen. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jimmathesonnhl/status/1623038217057407024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1623038217057407024%7Ctwgr%5E46bd2d04b26092329ec45a2ef9c6424d6347732e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oilersdaily.com%2FThe-Edmonton-Oilers-May-Lose-Connor-McDavid-Due-to-Gary-Bettman-Money-Issues-206860'> </a></blockquote></div> Matheson predicts that Connor McDavid will ask for 20M$ from the Oilers. With his talent, can you say no? Doubt it. The Auston Matthews situation in Toronto is similar, as he will also be entering the final year of his contract in 2024 and will likely command a high salary. Lets not forget that he salary cap is a major factor in these situations. If the NHL raises the salary cap, it will give teams more flexibility in terms of signing players, including high-priced stars like McDavid and Matthews. However, if the salary cap remains the same or only increases slightly, it may be difficult for some teams to afford to re-sign their top players. It's a complex situation and one that is difficult to predict, as it depends on a variety of factors including league revenue, player performance, and the overall state of the economy. Oilers fans can only hope that the salary cap will increase and provide the team with more financial flexibility in the future. Also the Oilers have to deal with Draisatl and his contract when its due at the end of the 2024-2025 season. He is getting paid 8.5M$, which is a huge discount considering what other players are signing for nowadays. Is it possible to sign both of these stars and still be able to win a Stanley Cup?
