Can't see value behind this one for LV. Worse, most trades made after the 30 selections were done (it seems) in a way to kill any chance for the next 2 seasons and have the kids grow for a while.... How will Fleury and Neal deal with this? | ||

So as long as the cap rises the oilers may be ok. But there will be a couple of tight years. Offer sheting draisital actually makes tons of sense. Fuck I hope not. Where did you hear that? Edit: did some googling. Im less scared after reading some but I still don't think any NHL players worth 13.25 million a year. I really hope Draisital has an agreement in place with the Oilers already and they are just waiting for McDavid contract to sign at the same time. | ||

Draisaitl asking for 9M, Oilers are hoping to get him for 7-8M. | ||

Need the cup next year because after that we have to rely on repeated cheap UFAs and prospects we cannot qualify after their ELC is up. God that Lucic contract is just so fuckin bad. | ||

Our entire defence save Nurse (ELC) is all making 4 mill+ and none of them are even in top 50 consideration for the position. Nurse will obviously be getting a raise to at the very least 5 million a year based solely on our teams contracts after next year.... Bye Bye RNH. There's some good news on the cap front though. Remember Lauri Korpikoski? His buyout comes off the books after next year and Mark Fayne's 3.6 million deal we buried expires as well. | ||

it's even better considering the deals other dmen were getting. Alzner has more years and an NTC at 5per while putting up 3rd pairing numbers. | ||

That's not that bad honestly. Next year, assuming a static salary cap and McDavid making 13.25m and Drai making 9m we have 65ish million spread out over 12 players. Now those 12 players are 5 of 6 D, Talbot, 6 forwards and 1 one buyout. It will be workable since we have a few ELC players making too much and Strome, who unless he goes off this year will get a pay cut. By no means is the situation ideal but it is workable. Might not even need to trade Nuge | ||
