A lot of people expected Oilers star Connor McDavid to finally win the Stanley Cup, especially since both Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby lost their first Final but came back to win it the very next year.

McDavid felt the Oilers were going nowhere doing the same thing over and over again throughout the six-game Stanley Cup Final defeat. "I mean obviously their forecheck was great," McDavid said after the game.

McDavid currently earns $12.5 million per year from his 2017 contract. That has since been passed by Nathan MacKinnon ($12.6), Auston Matthews ($13.25) and Edmonton teammate Leon Draisaitl, who signed last summer for $14 million per year.
