## Resource

Connor McDavid, NHL’s undisputed king, is quietly watching his salary slip down the pay scale as mega-deals explode across the league — but he’s not mad. With a savvy two-year deal keeping his cap hit low, he’s helping the Oilers build while others like Cale Makar, Connor Bedard, and Leo Carlsson rake in $18M+ annually. McDavid sees these contracts as a win for all players, celebrating the financial progress of the game — even if owners might disagree. A three-time MVP, he leads not just with stats, but with vision, championing collective growth over personal gain.
