Oilers' Connor McDavid was asked about how it felt to lose the Stanley Cup two years in a row, and he stated that he is angrier this year than he was last time. Connor McDavid spoke to <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/leon-draisaitl-responds-to-connor-mcdavid-concerning-comments-about-his-future' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>his future with the Edmonton Oilers today</a>, striking a middle ground between optimism regarding the team and caution in regards to his next step. Having one year remaining on his current contract, McDavid is free to sign an extension on July 1, but he's not going to be in a rush to do so. At his season-ending press conference, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> emphasized how he must do what is in his best interest and that of his family when it comes to signing a new deal. <h3>McDavid wants to remain with the Oilers if they are serious about winning</h3> But he also suggested that if he believes the Oilers have the potential to win a Stanley Cup, re-signing here would be a no-brainer. When asked about reflecting on consecutive losses to the Florida Panthers, McDavid acknowledged that this season's loss was one that left him angrier than it did sad, suggesting an attitude shift after another opportunity spurned. I would say last year was heartbreak. You know, like you're sad. I'd say this year is more angry than heartbreak. - Connor McDavid <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1935755766016675997'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1935763008556339212'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Given the lofty expectations and questionable decision-making throughout the year, it is not hard to understand why frustration is taking the initiative over tears. All that to one side, though, McDavid's commitment to the people, his teammates, and the city of Edmonton remains strong. His desire to win is not personal; it's about winning for everyone around him. Oilers loyalists are left with hope. There is a sense that with the right moves, a Stanley Cup awaits, and that McDavid will remain at the forefront for years to come.
