McDavid officially signed an eight-year, $100 million contract extension with the Oilers on Wednesday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
For perspective, that's $1 million for every point that the Art Ross (and Hart Memorial) trophy winner picked up in the 2016-17 season. Since McDavid still has another year left on his current contract valued at $3.775 million annually -- $8.725 million less than he'll get each year -- the Oilers have essentially locked up the generational talent for the next nine years. He'll presumably cost the fantasy hockey equivalent of gold in drafts this fall.
