Oilers president drops major update on Connor McDavid contract extension talks (Imagn)

Connor McDavid is eligible for an extension this summer. He has one year and the remainder of this season left on his current contract. With the deadline approaching in a few months, it would make sense for the two parties to have at least preliminary negotiations.

However, team CEO and president Jeff Jackson said they're not looking at that right now at all. Via The Athletic, he said:

“Connor has the rest of this year and then another year. We’re not getting into contract discussions at all at this point. I have a good relationship with Connor that goes way back (as his former agent). We have a good relationship with Judd Moldaver, who is his agent now."
