He is eligible to extend in July. Assuming the deal is over 8 years what cap hit does he get?
I’m hoping he takes a deal that looks like the current contract McDavid has (8 x 12.5). Then McDavid takes 8 x16 the following year.
As you know, you don’t win like that. You lose in the first round.14 or 15 aav, but then McDavid will get 16 or 17. How exactly do you win with two players making 30+ mil combined? Your depth certainly gets weaker. Although, I don’t know how quickly the cap will keep rising.

He could get $14m if he wants it.
My guess though is that McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard sit down together and find a way to stay together. I think they'll each give up significant money. They want to win and their best shot is doing that with each other.
Seeing as the Oilers are paying the human tire fire Nurse over 9 million per season, Bouchard has zero reason to take a discount.
Define "significant". Because while they might be willing to not nickel and dime the club (ie. settle for a few hundred thousand less), I doubt they're giving up millions per year.He could get $14m if he wants it.
