The Stanley Cup Playoffs<\/a> will, once again, end without the Edmonton Oilers being awarded the game’s greatest prize.<\/p>\n

That in and of itself isn’t a shocking statement. The last several seasons have ended without Edmonton winning a Cup, but the timing feels a little early this go around.<\/p>\n

Two postseasons in a row, the Oilers made deep playoff runs<\/a>, coming within mere minutes of winning the whole thing back in 2024.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

But this year, before the calendar had even flipped to May in Alberta, the Oilers were planning vacations instead of parade<\/a> routes.<\/p>\n

Edmonton ran into a high-powered scoring machine in the Anaheim Ducks and couldn’t muster up the offense to hang with them, being eliminated in six games on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

All of this begs the question, though: What happens to superstar Connor McDavid?<\/p>\n

The man they call McJesus isn’t getting any younger (he just turned 29 in January), and although he clearly has plenty left in the tank, there is a chance he starts to notice his clock is ticking.<\/p>\n

If he thinks he has a better chance to win a Stanley Cup and cement his legacy elsewhere, he could be as good as gone from western Canada.<\/p>\n

Sure, he signed a two-year extension this past offseason, but what you just saw was year one of said extension, and the Oilers are farther away from winning a Cup than they have been in years.<\/p>\n

McDavid noticed this, too, calling Edmonton “an average team all year.”<\/p>\n

I’m sure when McDavid signed that two-year deal back in October, he wasn’t doing so to come play for an average team.<\/p>\n

And what about the other side of the equation?<\/p>\n

The Oilers have to sense McDavid’s angst and frustration, and there’s a chance they get out in front of this thing and trade their talisman for a king’s ransom before he has a chance to bolt as a free agent and leave them high and dry.<\/p>\n

Do I think the Oilers want to trade McDavid? No, nor do I think McDavid will up and leave in a year and change without any warning.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of mutual respect there.<\/p>\n

But this is a business at the end of the day, and the Oilers might not be living up to their end of the bargain.<\/p>\n

Outside of fellow winger Leon Draisaitl<\/a> and (occasionally) top-flight D-man Evan Bouchard, Edmonton doesn’t exactly have the depth to compete at a championship level.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the goaltending piece.<\/p>\n

Yes, they went out and got Tristan Jary after years of AHL-level netminding, but that felt like putting Neosporin on a knife wound.<\/p>\n

These next 14 months will be tense, and, eventually, something will have to give.<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, though. After Thursday’s lackluster showing in Anaheim, the people of Edmonton are staring down the barrel of a long offseason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
