$9Mx8 go go Chia
He won't get 9 mil. Giordano asked for 9m. Gaudreau asked for 9m. Chances are the Oilers are offering in the 6 million range. They'll meet halfway around 7.5
It's not even that bad a deal. He was going to be a sought after back-up UFA anyways, and he did play really when Anderson wasn't playing. Besides, Anderson isn't getting any younger and is on the last year of his deal. It's pretty telling that they want to keep Condon and give him a shot.
The difference is with Gio and Johnny the reports were that they were asking for $9 million. With Drai they are suggesting he will get $9 millionHe won't get 9 mil. Giordano asked for 9m. Gaudreau asked for 9m. Chances are the Oilers are offering in the 6 million range. They'll meet halfway around 7.5
If Leon is set on 9, he'll probably get it. Chia seems to be worried about him getting offer sheeted.
Yep I hope he gets 9 Plus.
Its great that we have Monahan and Gaudreau locked up for less than McDavid alone.
They are going to have a hard time surrounding them with enough talent to win a cup.
I like how Oilers fans are bringing up Chicago's cups when Toews and Kane's contracts come up. Without mentioning the fact that they won the cups BEFORE the contracts.
McDavid deal is a necessary evil, he deserves it, but now those Lucic and Russell contracts are looking rough, gonna be tough cookies to get a champion calibre team in the next few years, and I'm not sure Chia has what it take to make it happen.
Also if I'm Draisaitl, I'm saying "am I really only worth half of what McDavid got???" .
You mean because they're both always injured, right?
Was this really a thing? When, at any point in history, has Pouliot ever been a first line NHL forward?Remember when Oillers fans were hyping up how they had a legit first line on their third line (Pouliot-Hopkins-Eberle)?
RNH is their 2C.
Eberle was traded for an ostensible downgrade.
Pouliot is bought out.
