I've just got to say, I like Paige Martin on Oilers coverage. Her and Tony Brar are a great team. Sign 'em both for 8. 😄 Knowledgeable, interesting, sharp, warm. Great stuff.
My prediction is that McDavid gets $20 but $32 million is deferred bringing him to a $16 million aav over 10 years. At $16, he and Draisaitl will be 30% of the expected $100 million cap. When Draisaitl signed for $8.5 he and McDavid were 28% of the cap, and Draisaitl was considered to be a massive bargain contract at that salary. The tandem is likely to only be 2% more salary between them than their last deals, so I don't know why people are saying it's somehow now an overpay to pay them the same percentage.
Not too much to pay, if you consider Drai's getting back pay for his current bargain contract, AND he can still improve. I want to see him use his world-class backhand to shoot on net more. He could get a lot of no-look backhanders past 'tenders. He can pass like that, so why not shoot too. And play better defence: just hustle back, even if gassed, and take away some space of someone like Reinhart.
I hate to rain on the parade, but the obvious problem here is the team is going to be paying $40m for 3 players. And they have no draft picks coming. Good luck with that.
Our core will be locked in soon enough for a long time. But I think people have to start talking about locking in Jack Michaels as pbp for all games, not just regular season, for the same duration. Even NHL Network runs his commentary in the highlights of the playoffs over the on-air choices. I think he'd agree to a shade below Leon's contract. And be worth every cent.
Now find a creative way to trade Nurse so you can keep Bouchard, Nurse is not worth more than 6.5 with 20 plus points a season, We need extra money, for other players Chand can't afford 54 million for 4 players

Draisaitl isn’t even a good player 😂 huge ego and huge waste of cap.

Very professionally shot, edited,lit and of course presented.
Bob lookin scary in the thumbnail
O baby I'm Fired Up! 1 Month
When is Nurse going to be traded with Mcdavid & Bouchard new contracts coming up? No one wants his 9.25M cap on the team.
Ryan Snyth Loss hurt bad
Got to say when you watch games and there are more oilers fan the you think would be in other cities
What a great analysis from these two.
Crazy that the preseason is only 18 days away. Seems like the guys just hung up the skates on last season a few weeks ago.
Is it my imagination, or is Stauff looking more fit? Keep at it dude!
The Deutschland Dangler. 60+ goals this year
Welcome back Paige and Bob thanks for your update. GO Oilers 🏒
