The Edmonton Oilers have signed star captain Connor McDavid to an eight-year contract extension worth 100 million U-S dollars. McDavid, who led the N-H-L in scoring and was named league M-V-P last season, helped turn the Oilers into up-and-coming contenders in just two seasons.
McDavid led the NHL in scoring with 100 points last season, en route to winning the Hart Trophy as league MVP.
Drafted first overall by the Oilers in 2015, the 20-year-old McDavid has been the catalyst of Edmonton's transformation from league bottom dweller to contender.
The 20-year-old says he's looking forward to continuing that process with his teammates.
