Maple Leafs Labeled Top Threat to Sign Oilers' Connor McDavid in 2026 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2026 NHL free agency period could bring seismic change to the league, and BetCanada has already set the odds on where Edmonton Oilers superstar center Connor McDavid may land if he gets to market.

The Edmonton Oilers were eliminated in the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year with their Game 6 loss on Tuesday night. With both defeats coming at the hands of the Florida Panthers, general manager Stan Bowman’s goal moving forward is clear: keep adding pieces to put his team in position to dethrone the standard.

If the Edmonton Oilers came away Stanley Cup victors, this article wouldn’t be written. There’d be no doubt Connor McDavid would re-sign in Edmonton, attempting to start a dynasty with the Oilers.
