Pears Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 So they're gonna be spending well north of $30 million on McDavid/Crysaitl/Bouchard with their new contracts, not including RNH/Hyman? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year this will be their cap: Draisaitl - $14 million McDavid - $12.5 million Bouchard - $10 million Nurse - $9.25 million Ekholm - $6 million Hyman - $5.5 million Kane - $5.125 million RNH - $5.125 million That’s $67.5 million for 8 guys. That leaves around $24 million for the rest of the team. Just to put it in perspective, McDavid and Draisaitl will be making more money next season than the remaining 15 players on the team… Edited July 25 by Elias Pettersson 1 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I'm surprised he is so loyal to the Oilers especially with his top of the league talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Can’t stand the Oiler’s, McDavid is such an annoying little princess. ‘but, man I hate to admit it, but I really like Drais’ game. He is has a real chippiness to his game and is one of those players that everyone knows what he is going to do but nobody is able to stop him. I hope he gets every cent possible out of that franchise. Edited July 25 by DrJockitch 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Whether they keep Drai and/or Bouchard or not, Edmonton will be taking a big step back next year. A lot of their success has been the value they are getting out of not only McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard’s contracts, but also key secondary guys like Ekholm, Hyman, and RNH. Those first 3 are about to basically double their cost, while the latter 3 are getting older, and likely to decline. Ekholm, in particular, will be 35 next year. After a long season and a short offseason, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is noticeably less effective already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted July 25 Popular Post Share Posted July 25 So instead of learning you can't put all your money into 4 or so players. They just keep making the same mistakes.

Hasn't worked for any team yet but maybe PIT, but they had to wait for cap to go up an awful lot to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he was the key to their series against us he was so good defensively but also scored a few goals and allowed Bouchard to do his thing if he loses a step their team is in trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to put it in perspective, McDavid and Draisaitl will be making more money next season than the remaining 15 players on the team… But, the big issue becomes having to pay McD the next year. I would estimate his contract to be 8years at 17-18m. IF the Oilers resign Draisatl, that means that they will be moving on from Bouchard.....there is just no other option. If they did that, the team would crumble, as they would basically be losing their top pair, and the only decent/great pair they have (Ekholm will not be the same at 37 years old). IN addition, the increased recapture on the Soups buyout will kick in too to suck up increases in the cap. Edited July 25 by BC_Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekholm is quite underrated IMO. He's the engine of that blue line. Does it all. The one hope that the Oilers have is Broberg. He has the ability to be their next Ekholm. That's why I hope somebody offersheets him lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They almost won the cup with things as is, let them sell themselves on the hope that they can get back and finish the job What they really need to do is find a way to get out of Kane's deal, if his production bounces back they may be able to Finding a way to move on from Nurse would be better for them, but that seems extremely unlikely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously no good will between the teams; we are a Cgy trade allie right now, and they hate the oilers too. Maybe even offer an olive branch trade, with Forbort as a Consolation LHD guy for 2024...retain a bit if need be. Broberg is exactly what the team needs; a LHD prospect that is ready for FT NHL duties. He will become a 2nd pair guy in a year or two. 24-25 Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Bro-Des Forbort, Juulsen, etc 25-26 Hughes-Hronek Bro-Willander Soucy-Myers Des, Juulsen, etc. 26+ Hughes-Hronek Bro- Willander Petterson-Prospect/FA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONLY if the contract was tradable after the 24-25 season and can return a sizable haul.

I'd be looking a trade that gives the team depth, and can be more flexible on the cap, and not just looking at the now. Having a strong defensive core, and younger up and coming forwards keeps the team competitive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
