Connor McDavid , one of the most popular players and the captain of the Edmonton Oilers , faced one of his biggest heartbreaks a few weeks ago when the team lost the Stanley Cup Finals to the Florida Panthers. While Connor McDavid is recovering from the loss, now, there are speculations about his future in the team and it seems like, the star player might just end up joining the Toronto Maple Leafs in the next season.
Will Connor McDavid end up joining the Toronto Maple Leafs after his contract with the Edmonton Oilers ends?
Bleacher Report’s Adam Gretz recently wrote about the potential teams Connor McDavid could end up joining, once his contract with the Edmonton Oilers comes to an end in a few more months.
Bleacher Report’s Adam Gretz wrote recently, “The Maple Leafs already have their own superstar and No. 1 center in Auston Matthews…But if McDavid ever does become available, Toronto would have to find a way to get involved in the bidding.”
Adam Gretz added, “How often would Canada’s biggest hockey market have a chance to acquire Canada’s best player? Especially one that was born in the Greater Toronto Area?”
However, Connor McDavid has not responded to the speculations about his future in the league yet and is focused on being there with his family as he recovers from the heartbreak.
In the last season, the Edmonton Oilers’ fans were pretty hopeful of the team being able to lift the 2025 Stanley Cup as the star players of the team, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, appeared focus on winning.
