With free agency slowly but surely approaching, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has revealed his top priority before making a contract decision next July. Speaking with The Athletic's Daniel Nugent-Bowman on Tuesday, McDavid told the outlet where his focus is as speculation grows about his future in Edmonton or potentially elsewhere.

McDavid can command whatever he wants on his next deal. He’s regarded as the NHL’s best player. He has five scoring titles and three MVPs in nine full seasons. He became the fourth-fastest and fourth-youngest player to reach 1,000 points last month.

Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers is uncertain, with his next move set to shape the NHL franchise's path.

As Connor McDavid approaches the opportunity to sign a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers next summer, Pierre LeBrun reports that the superstar’s focus is clear: winning trumps everything.
