Ah, everybody, panic alarms sounding. Folks in Edmonton, Alberta are nervous. Ought to they be? I don’t assume so.

And that, basically, the way in which it’s been defined to me is the minute that Connor McDavid picks his head up off the pillow and decides that he want to have a contract extension achieved, that’s the day that it’ll occur.
