Connor McDavid Gives Locker Room Speech Thanking the Whole Oilers Organization
There's little doubt that Connor McDavid will re-sign a long term contract with the Oilers, and seeing a video like this, it looks like McDavid wants to be in Edmonton for life.
McDavid recently sat down for a rare interview on his contract status, and said that he only has the priority of winning, and doing best for his family on his next deal.
The Oilers have a pretty great shot at winning, and McDavid is now clearly settled in the city and with the community in Edmonton.
Especially shouting out the training staff as his day one supporters, it's clear McDavid's developed deep relationships here - and has become a great locker room leader.
The Oilers captain is pacing to have another fantastic season this year, with 44 points in 28 games. It's still not even the best he can either, and the Oilers can still reach a higher gear.
