Guess they're out on Zadorov now
Could still sign him, but I would imagine so since they wouldn’t have much left for the forwards if they did

The cap is going to rise so much, by year 3 of this deal it will be equivalent to a 5m deal nowI don't love the contract, but people are going to need to get used to contracts going up. 7 mil is the new 6 mil
Relative to Hanifin's deal with LV, it's within the range.People will say 'wow' but that's a decent contract for VAN in my view.
He makes 2 million less than Nurse LOL.As an Oiler fan, I approve of this deal
He would be UFA in 2025. So, had to get the deal done now or he'd likely walk in free agency. Pretty much as high as I thought Van would go with him.It’s a lot like the Hanifin contract. A touch pricey for a #3, but not bad overall since it’s for his age 27-34 seasons, and the cap will be going up. It’s better than bridging him for a year or two and then really having to pay up. Or worse yet, give nearly all of that money to Zadorov
As An Oiler fan watch out for Bouchards contract.As an Oiler fan, I approve of this deal
I don't think he is overpaid, he's a young top pairing right handed D man. This is a good deal, I thought it would be over 8 million given the demand for right handed D man and his age.Overpaid by 1m for max term
Nice
I thought theyd look at the rough 2nd half and playoffs and decide to move him for assets and sign others.where else was he gonna go? he was an rfa
