If there is one thing I am positively certain of it is that McDavid is going to free agency because there is only one team his heart has always been with and it isn't Edmonton. He will 100% be a Maple Leaf. His fanatism of the Leafs would make most of us look like casual fans. His room growing up was all Leafs stuff and I know from having connections that are pretty in tune with McDavid that he still follows the team religiously. Nobody in the world wants to bring the Cup back to Toronto more than Connor McDavid, maybe Tavares does just as much, maybe. You watch, the Leafs will absolutely make sure they have the cap to add him in 2026. The funny thing is the Oilers are going to try and sign him right to the end, they can't trade him even if he would waive his NMC, and he will say he is considering re-signing right up until free agency, I have no doubt. He is totally going to John Tavares the Oilers. I would bet substantial money on this. Like this is not just from one person I have heard this from, I will be the most shocked person on planet Earth is McDavid isn't a Leaf come his next contract.
