I love what the oilers did. I know people citized holland when he came in, but he was great as a gm. The new guy at the office is banging. Skinner and Ardvidsson finally give Edmonton the good top 6 wingers they desperatly needed for Mcdavid and Draisatl. Bonus it that if either of them gets injured, nugent hopkins, a center playing winger, can slide into the center position and still get a scary trio regardless
Who cares what Evander Kane thinks. The guy is a douchebag. The only positive that came from the Oilers not winning the cup is that Kane’s name won’t be on it! 🤣
Can't believe nobody is acting blown away by drouin at 2.5m after a 50 point season
I see Slaf's contract as a huge vote of confidence towards him and the future of the team. I also think though it's quite risky, I just hope he's not that "oh I got myself a big contract, now I don't care if i suck for a few seasons, I'm gonna get paid so who cares" type of player.
The Slav deal will payout heavily for sure
Don't like the Oilers but real solid moves.
Awesome breakdown
Oilers fan here. Slaf is straight up getting the draisaitl treatment, and it's probably going to play out similarly. The Jeff Skinner contract, i think, is the bargain of the free agency so far. He's shown he can score 35 with 2 teams. Now, he gets the most stacked forward group in the league to play with.
Oilers made a good call getting draisaitl completely new linemates
Any long term contract is a gamble. If Slafkovsky puts up a70+ point season next year, this contract will seem like a bargain.
Oilers got better after being to a cup final, that does not happen much. Sometimes teams blow up and break apart after finals loses. But not the oilers i guess..
Or there should’ve been making these kind of moves every year for the past six or seven years. Every year you have McDavid is a chance to win the cup. Crosby Kane Gretzky. Etc. All won when they were young. We’ve blown it. Better do it this year because this could be it?!!
Oilers🧡🤝❤️Habs
I get why people don’t like the slafzilla deal but personally i just love it having our first line at less then 8mil each could be a huge bargain in 2-3 years
RNH needs to be Edmontons 3rd line center…Still.
Anyone who cant see that the Slaf signing is a really good one doesnt understand how these things work.
They're going to save MILLIONS, than had they waited another year for him to really show his star power.
Edmonton did a great job with All The Great Signings !! Also like Mtl’s signing !!
Sad to see Skinny move to Edmonton but he’s going to be a good weapon on Edmonton’s second or third line
The Oil are stacked. So much firepower without compromising on depth.
Both great moves by very different teams
Slaf got that dawg in him no doubt it will be worth that contract 👌👌
As a Habs fan, i think that the Slaf contract is an ABSOLUTE steal. If he takes another leap and can reach the 65-70 pts mark this upcoming season, we get a real first line thats not 40M$ like toronto and we can try to sign other good complimentary pieces around the core that we have to make the Playoffs and go all the way in the future
I’m hyped for the Slaf contract it could easily become the best in the league in a few years when the cap goes up
That Skinner stat is ridiculous. 😳 Would be awesome if he could not only play his first playoff games, but to win the cup, too. One can hope. 🤞🏼😁
