How Much Is Connor McDavid Worth?

The Oilers' big fish trade deadline acquisition has an extraordinary talent to find a streaking winger off a two-line pass. This has him poised to have the best season of his young career in 2025-26.

In 2024-25, Walman had the best year of his career. In 65 games, he recorded 40 points, 56 hits, and 145 blocks while averaging 22:46 a game.

With more ice time and a full season of dishing passes to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, he should surpass 50 points easily.

The sky is the limit.
