NHL Analyst Interprets Connor McDavid's Message as Sign He Won't Leave Oilers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With Connor McDavid now eligible to sign a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers, all eyes remain on the face of the NHL and the impending decision on his future.

Mitch Moroz is a better style comparable for Clattenburg. Both men earned strong reputations as checking forwards, and both scored well enough in their final junior seasons to receive NHL contracts from the Oilers. Moroz had an exceptional junior career with the Edmonton Oil Kings, including 35 goals in his final season in the WHL.

Oilers star Connor McDavid isn't a free agent just yet, but everyone around the NHL is monitoring his situation.
