The Reporter Closest to Connor McDavid Reveals the Terms of the Superstar's Next Contract

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are supposed to be engaging in contract negotiations right now, although it's unclear whether or not McDavid even wants that.

His recent public comments suggest that a contract extension is still very far away at this point. With no Stanley Cups, one has to wonder if Edmonton is the place for him to win.

Oilers fans are freaking out right now, and rightfully so. After all, no one wants their franchise superstar to walk out without a Stanley Cup to show for it.

Ryan Rishaug has been one of the closest reporters to McDavid over the past few years, and recently, he made some interesting remarks about what McDavid's next contract will look like.

Ultimately, the TSN reporter believes the captain will stay in Edmonton. However, it will be either on a two-year or four-year deal. As a result of the terms, you're probably going to see McDavid take less than $16 million per season.

If this turns out to be true, then there will be a lot of happy Edmonton Oilers fans out there. Regardless of the term, you don't want McDavid to leave.

Furthermore, the Oilers have come close two years in a row. They have the firepower, the defense, and if they get good goaltending, they can do anything.

For the Toronto Maple Leafs fans, this could be hard to swallow, as some have deluded themselves into thinking McDavid is coming to Toronto.

Only time will tell what the superstar decides, and whether or not the league is in for a massive shakeup.
