Bruce Boudreau Predicts Connor McDavid's Next Contract
In years past, Connor McDavid made headlines with his staggering $12.5 million/year deal. However, as other players have since surpassed this, speculation about McDavid's next deal is rife.
Breaking Records
Recent discussions with ex-Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau on NHL Network suggest McDavid could set another record with his upcoming contract.
When prompted by Coyle about McDavid's potential earnings, Boudreau responded:
Boudreau believes McDavid could easily land an eight-year, $15 million AAV contract, which, while not groundbreaking in the larger sports landscape, is significant in the NHL context.
A Cup on the Horizon?
Highlighting Jack Eichel's achievement as the first player to win the Stanley Cup with a salary over $10 million in the 2022-23 season, Coyle suggests McDavid and Draisaitl might be next, especially with the evolving salary cap situation.
The NHL's growth means increased player earnings. Even if McDavid secures $15 million annually, rising stars in the league may soon overshadow him.
