What are Matthews' numbers in the SCF again?
the cope is realAs an avid Oilers detractor, I’d personally like to thank Stan Bowman, Leon Draisaitl, Jiri Poner, and the rest of the management involved in this deal.
Quote this post, remember it in 3 years. This contract will NOT age well.
Still the boards are eerily quiet today… feels like night before HalloweenJust a status quo contract without anything exciting around it.
It’s also the morning after a holiday in Canada, the younger crowd are still hungoverStill the boards are eerily quiet today… feels like night before Halloween
Lol. Highly doubt Bouchard gets anywhere near 12 million.
For a guy whose name is NotBias, @notbias you sure as heck sound super biased right about now !

Litereally this a player can easily ask for much more as a defender because it's a premium. Bouchard is in the talks of coffee during his playoff run not many defenders can put that on their resume. 10-11 is easily foreseeable. Oilers be smart to try to sign him to an extension ASAP or with the salary increasing the demand be higher.It's hard to know what Bouch is going to get. Most didn't think Rasums Dahlin would pull in 11M either, but that's the reality of the world we are in. 10M for Bouchard is probably the minimum we are looking at for him.
I am just posting facts and people seem to be getting upset.
They have both won zero Stanley Cups.
I'm not sure if I agree. After the playoff and regular season that Bouchard just had, the only other things he could do to increase his stock are a Norris trophy, even higher point output next year, or a Stanley Cup. Doing what he did last year over again probably doesn't raise his stock much, if at all.Litereally this a player can easily ask for much more as a defender because it's a premium.

one came within 2 goals of winning the CupThey have both won zero Stanley Cups.
It's a team award though so I don't judge Draisaitl too harshly here, but he didn't help them.
That's not been the narrative at all.How ironic, every one laughed and said Draisaitl was gone right after this contract expired lolol. Now that he has signed and for 8 years at that the narrative changes and now its to much money and how can the oilers compete now. Next chance hf never change
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...I am just posting facts and people seem to be getting upset.

My man, he is top 4 in the last 5 years for even strength points lolThat is a lot for a great player who is an even 5v5 player and gets a lot of points on the PP.
Just an opinion, but I don't see this contract aging well.
Also facts...
So if Draisaitl is worth 14 Millioni,MCSaviour is worth 18-20 Millioni?Salary Cap needs to go up by 20 Millioni over the next couple of years which I see happeningNice day in Oiler land . I expect Mcdavid to follow suit
That's a ridiculous statement. We have a hole on our 2nd pair, right side. Other than that, our defense matches up very well.That's not been the narrative at all.
More like oilers fans emphatically stating he would sign for around 13, while everyone else said not happening while pointing out you guys will have 50 million tied up on four players.
So much for setting cap aside to win and no I don't care if he would have gotten more as a UFA, those aren't 8 year deals with a dozen teams driving up the price.
Nor do I care if Nate with inflation would be similar, one Nates a superior player and 2nd when he signed it was 100% known exactly where the cap was heading.
Sorry to rain on the parade but when you have probably the best player in history when all is said and done, you should be able to build a dynasty around that one player. The haul you guys could have got if your GM had the balls to trade #29 with an 8 year extension in place could have finally given #97 a complete team opposed to one with arguably the worst defense of any team with playoff aspirations.
I guess time will tell .
I don't think you'll find many Oiler fans defending our owner, ha ha ha.Uh oh, concession price are going up again. Someone check if Brad is OK
