Connor McDavid agreed to a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers on Monday that raised some eyebrows. Auston Matthews had thoughts on the new deal, which came at a significant discount.
McDavid's extension is for $25 million over two years, which works out to a modest $12.5 million average annual value given that he's widely regarded as the best hockey player on the planet. The deal comes weeks after the Minnesota Wild signed forward Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year, $136 million contract which carries an AAV of $17 million.
