On the Sheet: Colby Cohen on the McDavid Extension and McKenna's NCAA Debut

Colby Cohen joins Jeff Marek to give his unfiltered reaction
to Connor McDavid’s stunning 2-year, $12.5M per
season contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
Cohen argues that while the deal is great for McDavid and the
Oilers’ Stanley Cup chances, it could have a ripple effect across
the NHL — hurting other players in negotiations by giving general
managers leverage on future contracts.


The two dive into the tension between taking less for the team
versus pushing the market forward for all players, with
comparisons to Jack Eichel, Leon Draisaitl, and Kirill Kaprizov.
Cohen emphasizes how McDavid’s decision highlights the ongoing
debate over the salary cap, luxury tax possibilities, and the
shrinking “middle class” of NHL contracts.


From McDavid’s exit strategy to the pressures on restricted and
unrestricted free agents, Cohen delivers a contrarian but
insightful perspective on what this contract means for both the
Oilers and the league as a whole.
