Kane won the Art Ross last year and is making 10.5 million AAV. If Connor wins it this year or next, at the age of 19 or 20 he will easily command > 11 million. Most people also think Toews and Kane took minor discounts to keep their dynasty together. If/When Edmonton finishes outside the playoffs for Connor's entire ELC, I can't seem him taking a discount to stay on a perennial loser, he could command in excess of 12 million. And I really hope some team offers him some ridiculous contract at that price for only 5 years, taking him straight into UFA. Everyone knows the Oilers will have to match, if they let him walk for 5 first rounders, Edmontonians would burn down Rogers Center.
