Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are both in the tail end of their deals with the Edmonton Oilers, but signs point towards both of them staying in Alberta.

They will both, alongside Evan Bouchard, all be commanding massive salaries, but with the salary cap quickly rising, to an estimated $92 million in 2025-26, and as much as $100M by 2027-28, these contracts will be doable for Edmonton.

Per top NHL insider Frank Seravalli, contract extensions for these three key players all already have framework; Connor McDavid will make NHL history in the range of $16 million annually, Leon Draisaitl won't be far behind and $14 million, and Evan Bouchard will surpass Darnell Nurse as Edmonton's highest paid defenseman in the range of $10 million.

This new generation of the Edmonton Oilers, with a cup finals appearance under their belt, may be unstoppable.
