It's crazy that at times I rather watch Brown and Janmark on the PK than anything else

Yeh I don’t think Oil country will. Just tough feelings after a tough loss right now, but this fanbase is smart and will appreciate what Kulak brought overall.

You're talking to a guy who was pissed that Lavoie wasn't dressed in the playoffs.
Lots of weird takes with that dude.

Yeah, but he does have a higher history. I bet something like $2-2.5M over 2 yrs, give Janmark a similar deal, imo.

Take this with a grain of salt as it's not first hand info, but saw someone post on Reddit that he bumped into Janmark, Ceci and Bouchard at the peelers downtown last night. Anyways idc much about what he said about how they interacted with people (apparently Ceci was aloof and in the corner or something), but to me I think Janmark feels he's so much a part of the group and he signed an extension last year before looking around much since he wanted to stay, I think it's inevitable.
He could probably make a bit more elsewhere but not sure how much another $1M for a year would be vs term and familiarity a long with a chance to go deep in the playoffs each year here. I think he lives for the playoffs. Long term would make sense
Edit: He has already made $12M which isn't exactly a whole lot for a hockey player but it's not bad for a bottom 6 guy. If he gets $1.25 x 3 then he's at $15M anyhow

Yeh realistically, that’s probably around there. I was hoping for less not gonna lie, but yeh he has established top 6 production on his resume. Janny I love, but I think would have to cheaper than that.

Bouch was lost on that play, he didn't have a very good final.

Yeah he's a playoff guy and the opportunity is great with the Oilers.
Also that story about him and his mom driving home and how amazed she was. I think he loves it in Edmonton.

He would have to take a pretty big discount for me to consider him. I’d honestly rather just move on.

Brownie and Janny secures our elite PK personnel. Have to get it done. Brown could pop off finally as the Top 6 winger we’ve been missing. Let’s get this done early, and go shopping for new guys.

Forgot about the story with him and his mom. Yeah I think he loves it here too. Probably fun having another Swede making the team as well in Broberg, if that matters at all
Him and Brown are two thirds of a great bottom 6 line (preferably 4th line but good enough to get some 3rd line push too) and elite PK.
Getting them back would make filling other holes a lot easier

I wanna know how much Black Label you had this morning man. He's useless offensively yet he had 100 points the year before and 67 points this year?

An AHL shooter and a complete question mark otherwise. You don’t play that in the playoffs. He’s not ready either. If he was he may have seen time like Broberg did.
People were saying the same thing about Broberg. He came in and babysat Nurse the whole time haha. If Lavoie plays next season and does well, people will ask why we didn't at least play him in the playoffs when he was healthy and most of the players were banged up

Sounds to me like Foegele is well aware there isn't cap space for him in Edmonton..
Henrique sounded like a guy who was about to go to California to try and convince his wife moving to Edmonton for a few years wont be so bad.

And the Oilers who knew what they had in Broberg made that call. A good call considering how he dominated AHL competition and has the speed/size to be in the NHL. Lavoie is not that, if he was, the Oilers would have played him, they have no issues inserting black ace contributions if they feel those are viable.
We have cap space. Just not 4M for him. Now if he's willing to take 2M

Yeh. Sucks with how he finally put together a good playoff run in the finals. But for me it’s hard to ignore that it came after how many years of complete nothing on that front. Maybe what he did in the finals can be sustained moving forward, but he has consistently disappointed where I can’t believe that.
With hindsight, slotting in Broberg was a good move. If he knew what they had in him, he would have played him at the start of the playoffs. No difference with Lavoie who is knocking on doors
