Connor McDavid will leave the Oilers within three seasons

He's Gonzo win or lose. We have three seasons left with Connor McDavid. That's my opinion... after three years, so three more playoffs. I think that would've been 13 years for McDavid... if he does leave in three years, win or lose, they're idiots [if they dislike him].

McDavid's next free agency or trade request timeline will resolve this.

New NCAA hockey rules will hurt American players because Canadian talent will take their scholarships

American kids are gonna get shafted scholarship wise because now you're getting the best Canadian kids and... before you wouldn't go because you couldn't go to college. But what happens is that now the best Canadian kids will play in those leagues at 17 and 18, and then they'll go to college and then they'll get a payday to go to college. Right. NIL. So a lot of American kids are probably gonna lose scholarships.
