3 reasons why Connor McDavid shouldn’t continue at Edmonton #Oilers after his contract ends! 😳 Read Article 👇👇👇

Connor McDavid is nearing the end of his historic eight-year, $100 million deal with the Edmonton Oilers. After next year, he will be in prime position for an extension, one that could keep him as an Oiler for life. However, while that is enticing, there are a few reasons the Conne Smythe Trophy winner might want to pass on signing an extension with Edmonton.

Why Connor McDavid shouldn’t get extended
3) Loyalty is often unrewarded

Loyalty in modern sports is not very common. It’s very rare for players to spend their entire careers with one team. Loyalty from players is often not rewarded, and there are plenty of examples across most leagues.

A team like the Edmonton Oilers certainly knows what impact Connor McDavid or a player of his caliber has, but they have a top roster with plenty of stars to keep under contract. That makes it a little harder to throw money at McDavid, whereas a younger and perhaps up-and-coming team could throw him a blank check and give him whatever he wants. That team might be worse, but McDavid is good enough to overcome that and he’d have a lot more financial stability in that scenario

1) Stanley Cup Hangover

In all sports, teams that make it to the championship often have a bit of a hangover afterward. The next season is a little more challenging more times than not. It is especially true and for a much longer period for those who fail to win.

Sometimes, one shot is all a team gets for a while, and that may be what plagues the Oilers. McDavid and company came so close and were crushed emotionally, and that might have been their only shot. McDavid, if he wants a ring, may have to consider the historical context of teams who lose like that.
