The NHL announced that the salary-cap will rise substantially for the next three years, which means the Toronto Maple Leafs can now sign Connor McDavid to a massive contract.

Connor McDavid is eligible to sign an extension on July 1 as the superstar forward will be a free agent on July 1, 2026, and one analyst predicts he will sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

If McDavid reaches the open market, he will be highly sought after by nearly every team as he is the best player in the NHL. Although many expect McDavid to re-sign with the Edmonton Oilers, NHL analyst Adam Wylde disagrees.

Instead, Wylde predicts McDavid will indeed hit free agency and sign a massive deal with his hometown Maple Leafs on a seven-year $126 million deal.

Oh...the pundits are way ahead of you.

On the one hand the rising Cap potentially gets the Oilers out of Cap Hell and on the other hand it could potentially mean waving buh-bye to Connor.
