At league minimum, I've got time for a look.
Shocked he's walking away from that much money.
Is he going to want a two year deal given he's given up some money? Seems like he probably is going to look for the best fit for him and try makeup some money in year 2.I think it has more to do with his contract structure. It went from 0.9 to 1.8 this year and 2.7 next.
I’d be fine with a PTO if he’s got no other offers. I’d just much rather try a 2 year deal than 1 when it’s time to give him a contract. A one year deal that works out just means he’s going to price himself out next year. A 2 year deal gets us through the overage to when we have more space
Perhaps you misunderstand Brain.I would have agreed in the past, however, they drafted Michkov knowing very well he may not be able to get out of his 3 year contract. That's a pretty good sign they are gonna be patient
I’d see if Zadina would take 2 years @775-850k. That way, if it clicks for him, he’s a possible Brown replacement for next year and then he can get a pay bump once the overage is back off the cap
Yzerman told him he knows a sucker that will give him more money just for showing up for 10 games
Kostin was a "nothing" player and he turned out well for us.Zadina brings nothing to the table. He was labelled as a scorer at the draft and he certainly hasn’t done so ever since. The most we should do is a PTO
Yep. Fact of the matter is a change of pace is a necessary spurring on of something in a lot of people. Many great writers have mentioned how freeing it is to show up in a new town with a new outfit and a hair cut. You can be anybody. Sometimes that's all it takes.Kostin was a "nothing" player and he turned out well for us.
Seems stupid, and Zadina is walking away from significant dollars as well, but whatever.Yzerman told him he knows a sucker that will give him more money just for showing up for 10 games
I've always wanted Zadina on the Oilers for awhile now. $775K is definitely better than $1.825MSeems stupid, and Zadina is walking away from significant dollars as well, but whatever.
Low risk, high reward.
There is a player there.
He has a nice shooting mechanics tho. Maybe working with Draisaitl might helpI'm surprised how much the fancies like him. The finishing percentages concerning though.
IMO McLeod is worth significantly more. It's not even closeStarting to wonder why we didn't keep Kostin somehow while still moving on from Yamo, and letting Mcleod walk instead. I can't stand watching Mcleod out there man. His game is just so sad. 0 goals in the playoffs too. He won't be a big game player, Kostin has more value in my eyes. You put RNH at centre and you're set.
I would say Kostin and Mcleod are on par with each other. If McLeod gets 2M. Kostin should have gotten 2M as well.IMO McLeod is worth significantly more. It's not even close
I don't disagree that he may be worth more in a trade, but I truly believe Kostin is and will continue to separate from Mcleod further as a better NHL player. As in, more valuable to a team in the playoffs. All I care about at this point in time, for our group, is if a player can compete in the playoffs and find success there.IMO McLeod is worth significantly more. It's not even close
Connor Bedard's favorite player !Tyler Motte is still out there, He is one of the best PK'ers in the show.
Wow, very interesting to see a player do this with the intention of sticking around the NHL. Has any other European done that?

He won't, likely, get PP time, but there's not a higher end forward group who would have space for him than the Oilers.Brave choice betting on himself. I'd take him in Edmonton
For less than 1 million
I'll take McLeod over Kostin. Kostin's defending is terribleI would say Kostin and Mcleod are on par with each other. If McLeod gets 2M. Kostin should have gotten 2M as well.
Based on what metric? Mcleod had the worst +/- of any forward on the team who played regularly besides Puljujarvi and Holloway...while going against the easiest competition the league has to offer.I'll take McLeod over Kostin. Kostin's defending is terrible
