Around the NHL - 2024-25 season.
- Thread starter Rubi
- Start date
not really cause neither are remotely worth the $4 to 4.5 M AAV on a 5yr contract that would make the Oilers pause on matching.
Perhaps but do the Oilers have enough money to even match $3m AAV per player? That's $6m plus the $2.4m they are in the hole with now... Where do they find $8.4m in savings to get under the cap limit?
I say offer both players $3m x 3 yrs. The Oilers might be able find the money to match one but I doubt they can do both.

That Vegas forward core is starting to look real shaky already on paper. I think we might get lucky in 2026

Vegas isn't the type of team to go quietly. Another big move from them is coming whenever they can find a way to upgrade.
They are painting themselves further and further into a corner
I just don't know if this year, or next will be worse?

Of course it was them giving this jackass another job. Morally bankrupt.

Out of all the questionable choices Oilers Ownership group have made, this is certainly one of them.

I don't buy the "he has learned from this experience" malarkey. Standing up for what is right is a character trait, not a choice.

With the multiple allegations against each Katz and Kane...this is far from a surprise IMO

He'd like all the credit for three cups, but at the time of the allegation, according to him, he wasn't running the team, McDonough and Quennville were.

It seems Katz pushed for this hire. Alberta teams and meddling ownership, name a more iconic duo.

They signed Kane and traded for Perry. Are you still surprised? Toxic organisation.
Funny fact, I was once close to Perry when in Anaheim (watching Blackhawks/Hossa, 1st row behind the bench), I was polite greeting him and he wouldn't even acknowledge that- what an obnoxious c*unt.
Of course Oilers resigned him to another year.

The Versteeg and Buff deals were because Bowman f***ed up their qualifying offers, right?

My storybook outline for the next 8 months of the oilers
Draisatl extends 8x13.75 to set new forward benchmark
Bouchard extends 8x12.0 to set new defense benchmark
Skinners curse remains in place and the oilers finish 20th resulting in them trading 2025 13th OA for the 2024 32nd OA
