You guys need a fact checker. Desperately.
If zadorov got 5 then nurse is 4
Regardless of what Tavares says the Leafs are not close. The Oilers however are
Stop drooling. Leo and Connor will likely retire in Oiler jerseys. Leaf fans live in a fantasy world.
It's being talked about in Edmonton but no one cares because there is no doubt in any Edmontonians mind that Leon will sign here again.
Drasital at 13.5 or Marner at 12.5? I'd be amazed if a single person answers Marner
Connor and Leon aren't going anywhere regardless how much the Toronto hacks want to wish it
Adam is wrong on one thing. LD did NOT give a hometown discount on his current contract. If you go back and look at the consensus around the league, it was, in fact, an OVERPAY at the time. It turned out to be incredible luck that LD almost immediately popped as a player and tilted that contract so far into value territory as to be absurd.
The point of this is to make clear that LD should not have any hard feelings about his value contract because when it was signed, the team could have squeezed him …but they didn't.
I’m just laughing at how they’d rather have Darnell nurse than anyone else lol
Clickbait.
Nurse is the worst contract in the league.
My theory is that Drai only signs for another 2 years because McDavid is signed for another 2 years.
My next theory is that if the Oilers don’t win a Stanley Cup in the next 2 years, both of them walk.
Actually messed up that mcavoy only makes 250k more then nurse 🤣😂🤣
If Pittsburgh got it done with Malkin, Crosby and Letang… Edmonton can get it done with McDavid, Draisaitl and Bouchard.
There are a lot of Oilers fans and the temptation to click bait them must be enormous because everyone is out there making something out of nothing.
Draisaitl can get max numbers everywhere
So no way he signs before playoff picture for 24/25 is cleared up
He probably just tries to figure out how to start season better than last year
One goal would of only tied the game
Leon is definitely looking for 14-15 mil per year, and someone will pay it
Nurse would be the highest paid Dmen if He was in FA this year? Wow now that is quite the take…
They don’t have a 1st next year to shed Nurse’s contract. They’d be dipping into future 1s. Oof.
isnt Bouchard on a bridge now? If He is i doubt Hee signs another.
They don’t have a GM ffs 😂….these guys are clowns
Jackson has said he wont get signed until the new GM is in place.
So Swayman negotiations aren't going well according to Seravalli right? Guess how much cap space the Bruins have right now with a 14F 7D roster? (Includes Poitras, Lysell, Jones and Tufte) just over $8.5M.
They can easily fit both under the cap.
Who cares.
During the losing streak Leon looked like a man ready to leave for green pastures. Hes a great player and deserves a raise. But here in Edmonton all we’ve done is talk about how different contracts are hurting us, how hard it’s been to fill gaps in the line up without cap room. You lose a lot if Leon leaves but who has to go if he stays. And when. If the holes in the line up remain where does the Money come from to pay for guys you need. It just feels like there’s a real good chance that this becomes something that gets looked back on later as a mistake
Toronto paid way too much for the core four, and this panel looks at everything through leaf economics. Draisaitl and McDavid re -sign at an amount that will make leafs fans spin their heads . It will be at that moment that they realize they were taken to the cleaners by the core four, who fail to deliver a single thing in the playoffs. Dubas was way over his head in negotiations . The 11.5 for Tavares is a perfect example of a GM over valuing a player. Almost Mcdavid like money for a real good hockey player, causing all subsequent contracts to be far too much, for guys slightly better than Tavares.
No other GM in the NHL would take on those core four contracts. They are all two million too much. Let Mitch go to free agency and will see what he is worth.
I do not understand why all these players want this much money, just move to a income tax free state and take less… win more. Maybe I’m too competitive just take the 1st line average and call it a day
