Oilers GM Reveals Massive Update on Connor McDavid Talks

As the Edmonton Oilers look to build a team to get over the hump in the Stanley Cup Final, the organization also has the impending free agency of star Connor McDavid to consider. McDavid will be a free agent at the end of this coming season, and there has been a lot of speculation that he could leave the organization.

If McDavid were to become available, there would be no shortage of teams interested in landing him. McDavid is seen as one of the greatest players in NHL history, and players of his talent don't typically hit the free agent market.

There have also been reports that the Oilers would love to get him signed to a long-term deal before he were to enter the market, but nothing has come about yet. However, Oilers general manager Stan Bowman provided a massive update on the contract talks between the two sides.

"We haven't had any of those types of detailed conversations yet; I think we're very encouraged by all the conversations I've had to date; I do expect to have some conversations with them soon," said Bowman.
