Dreisaitl is out the way. That leaves one Conor McDavid. What's next for him? Oh, man. That's a $150 million question, I think, give or take. We'll see what his next deal looks like. Pay the man. He has to get paid. Let's put it the other way. If Leon Dreisaitl didn't sign an extension, if there is a question about his future. I feel like that might throw more doubt into what happens with Conor McDavid. But nothing is guaranteed. And I promise you, I'm not looking to make any headlines with my breakdown of this situation. I'm not looking to get radioed. We're going to have to see what time brings. I mean, Connor McDavid isn't eligible to sign his contract till July first, 2025. That means he's going to get to see a whole 'nother season, live a whole 'nother season in Edmonton, see how things pan out, see how he feels about the organization. Obviously, Edmonton will do whatever it possibly takes to sign him when they have the chance to. I have no reason to believe he's going to want to leave, but it's going to be a massive decision for him at that.
