Edmonton Oilers News | Leon Draisaitl SIGNS 8 Yr $14M Deal
The Oilers Fanatic goes over all the latest in Oil Country!! #Oilers #EdmontonOilers #LetsGoOilers #leondraisaitl #connormcdavid #evanbouchard #salarycap #NHL #nhlhighlights #nhlhighlight
Well I guess I can burn my Draisaitl San Jose Sharks jersey…ha ha ha, remember that rumour that floated around earlier in the summer… he was never leaving
Alright I am wrong but at the same time I knew but not surprised Leon Draisaitl signed at 14 million for 8 years, great deal I thought 12 to 13 but that's OK.. he's an Oiler for life and now McDavid probably will get 16.5 and Bouchard 9 or 10 million dollars that's still under the projected amount on one of the source I look at and it's seems like It might be right to sign all three that's under 49 million but if it goes depends on Bouchard that's still under 40 million to there 100 million good job Oilers can't wait for this season to come and have 7 players to be over 30+ goal scorers Oiler for life
While I was hoping he'd differ 500K per year to year 9. It would have still had him be the highest paid player BUT 4 million would have been paid in year 9 and AAV would have been 13.5. We take it as it comes. Honestly I'm just glad it's done. Now there is Bouch this year to get done and McDavid and Stuart Skinner next year.
When Macdavid signs oilers will be a super top heavy team. They have 2 years to win a cup. After that we will be an average team. Then eventually rebuild.
Finally! I think most people were expecting $13-14M AAV so no surprise with the deal, especially considering his current contract is the best deal going.
Since Bouchard's contract will expire next summer, I would hope something gets worked out before then. He'll likely get an offer sheet if he repeats last season's success.
Perfectly happy with this contract as he deserves every penny or in Canadian currency every nickel! Quick question though, is there a certain percentage of the cap that each player can ask for?

Just curious what do you think he could have made if he had gone to free agency?
