'What a legend': Hockey world reacts as McDavid signs astonishing contract with Oilers: Connor McDavid has signed an astonishing two-year contract at his current rate of $12.5 million with the Edmonton Oilers, multiple sources now report.

The contract is way, way lower than any fan or pundit predicted and represents a massive statement about McDavid’s desire to win a Cup in the next three years in Edmonton.

Good for him. He still makes a ton of money per season but gives Edmonton 2 seasons to get their shit together and get him and the other stars on the team some real help in other positions. "Can't do it in the next 2 seasons? Later."

Having watched the Oilers eliminate the Stars each of the past two seasons, barf.

Great for Edmonton and their fans, though.

Wondering if the contract contains a proviso about the goaltending.
