The current CBA expires on September 15, 2026, which is 2 and a half months after his current contract expires. The Oilers would be crazy to let him go to free agency, so he will almost-certainly sign during the 2025-26 season (whether in Edmonton or somewhere else after a blockbuster trade). Even if he goes to free agency, he would sign in early July 2026 and still be under the terms of the current CBA.
