McDavid Takes Discount Deal + Gary Bettman Joins the Show!
About this episode
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start the week reacting to the big news out of Edmonton that Connor McDavid has signed to a two-year, 12.5 AAV extension. They break down the team-friendly deal, the Oilers' next steps, and how McDavid's deal impacts other extension-eligible stars. Then they discuss the Leafs' weekend roster moves, waiving Michael Pezzetta and claiming Sammy Blais and Cayden Primeau. Later, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman joins the show (27:52) to discuss McDavid's contract, Sportico's recent franchise evaluations, the Penguins' potential ownership sale, the league's approach to further expansion, preseason feistiness, complaints about state taxes, and much more.
