The Edmonton Oilers will have some decisions to make as they go into the offseason, and one of the biggest ones will revolve around Connor McDavid 's future. McDavid is approaching the final year of his contract, and he's been an important part of the team since 2015.

McDavid recently spoke to the media about what he's thinking as that time comes for him to make a decision on his future.
"If I feel that there's a good window to win here over and over again, then signing is no problem. I'm not in a rush to make any decision so I don't think there needs to be any timeline. I know people are going to look at that July 1 day and be looking to see if anything is done, but for me, I'm not in a rush," McDavid said.
The Oilers have been in the Stanley Cup Final for the past two seasons, but they've lost both to the Florida Panthers. Despite the losses, they're still one of the best teams in the league, and McDavid thinks that there is unfinished business with their squad, but he still has to look out for his family.

"This core has been together for a long time, and we've been building to this moment all along," McDavid said. "The work that's gone on behind the scenes, the conversations. The endless disappointments and you know, some good times along the way obviously as well.
"Yeah, we're all in this together, trying to get it over that finish line. With that being said, ultimately, still need to do what's best for me and my family."
McDavid is a three-time Hart trophy winner, and he's been playing at the top of his game for some time now. If he believes there is another opportunity out there besides the Oilers who can give him the best chance to win, he'll explore those options.
If he still believes the Oilers are able to help him win a championship, then there's a good chance that he'll stay, but it has to be right for him and his family.
