Yep, he’s on the last year of the best contract in the NHL. The guy has earned every nickel… for just this year alone, he’s leading the league in goals, on pace for 60, I doubt he’ll get that but he’s on pace halfway through.. second in points, 43 points at even strength (that’s 14 more than your leading flame has total, and huberdeau is making 2.5 million more this year) plus he’s +22.. and all that doesn’t take into account how good he is in the playoffs when it matters most. He won’t have the best contract in the league next year, but he’ll be among the top players for at least another 2-4 years barring injuries. Then probably when he gets around 33 things will start to regress, but for now he’s on top of his game and quite possibly the best player out there. Yeah yeah Mackinnon Makar… he’s been better overall than McD this year I’d say, but I think Connor’s saving it for the playoffs. Super exciting season…let’s go Oilers! Bring that cup back home!
