NHL Trade Rumor: Could the Golden Knights really land Connor McDavid after Mitch Marner's shocking trade?
Will Connor McDavid join the Golden Knights? (Imagn Images) In the months ahead, Connor McDavid will face a career-defining decision that could ripple through the entire NHL landscape. While the Edmonton Oilers are hopeful of locking him in for the long term, McDavid's eligibility for an extension has fueled massive speculation. With his current contract expiring after the 2025–26 season, the hockey world is watching closely to see whether he stays loyal to Edmonton or sparks a seismic shift by testing free agency. Golden Knights enter the Connor McDavid conversation amid growing uncertainty The Oilers, despite consecutive Western Conference titles, haven't been able to finish the job when it matters most. The Florida Panthers have outshone them on the biggest stage, leaving many to question whether Edmonton is truly built for championship success. For a player like McDavid—widely considered the face of the league—winning is paramount. As rumors swirl, the Vegas Golden Knights have surprisingly emerged as a potential suitor. While signing McDavid might seem far-fetched given their current financial commitments—including the recent acquisition of Mitch Marner and the need to extend Jack Eichel—NHL insider Chris Johnston didn't rule them out. 'Like, Vegas has to probably think about it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I don't know how they do it. I'm imagining. They've already signed Marner. I'm imagining they're going to extend Eichel,' Johnston noted, hinting that creative cap maneuvering could make the impossible possible. The Golden Knights are known for their aggressive moves in pursuit of titles. If McDavid hits the market in 2026 without an extension, Vegas could explore drastic options to build a star-studded lineup around him, Marner, and Eichel. NHL heavyweights circling as McDavid holds the cards As of now, McDavid remains under contract with the Oilers, thanks to his eight-year, $100 million deal signed in 2017. But with no extension in place yet, the silence has only heightened speculation. According to Johnston, McDavid's decision could hinge heavily on how the Oilers perform in the 2025–26 campaign. 'Obviously, there are 31 teams that would like to have him but there are probably 10 teams that think they'd be in the running if they ever got a chance,' Johnston said. Those top contenders reportedly include the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Los Angeles Kings, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vegas Golden Knights, and New York Rangers. If Edmonton falters, these franchises will be ready to pounce. For McDavid, the next move could shape not just his legacy—but the entire future of the NHL.
