Hockey’s biggest star is staying in Edmonton.

Connor McDavid and the Oilers agreed on a two-year, $25 million contract extension, the team announced Monday.

The deal comes in much lower than Kirill Kaprizov’s record-setting eight-year, $136 million ($17 million AAV) contract with the Minnesota Wild.

McDavid made the decision to stay in Edmonton on Monday and hammered out the contract soon after, ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski reported.

The agreement ends speculation around McDavid’s potential departure one season before the three-time Hart Trophy winner was set to hit free agency.

McDavid had repeated through multiple interviews in the lead-up to the 2025-26 season that he intended to take his time in arriving at a deal, but that he had “every intention” to win in Edmonton.
