The Edmonton Oilers are facing another offseason of great pain after losing to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final for the second year in a row.

McDavid met with media on Thursday, three days after his season was once again ended by the Panthers. He was asked a few times about his future in Edmonton and was mostly noncommittal, saying there was no rush to make a decision; he can't sign an extension until July 1 no matter how he feels about it.
