I can't imagine why you wouldn't give hi ma shot on the cheap, but I also thought the same of Zherdev after the Rangers let him walk.

A prospect goalie and a second round pick for Marc Methot? Was Ottawa's offer for trade based protection really below that level?

This is a weak weak trade.

Yeah the only reason for a trade like that to happen is Methot himself saying that there would be no way he would play in vegas and then being dumped to the best offer available....

Can't see value behind this one for LV. Worse, most trades made after the 30 selections were done (it seems) in a way to kill any chance for the next 2 seasons and have the kids grow for a while....

How will Fleury and Neal deal with this?

reporting mcdavid to sign 8 years 13.25 per. Which is a shit ton but apparently in line with % of cap that crosby, ovi and so on signed for. So as long as the cap rises the oilers may be ok. But there will be a couple of tight years. Offer sheting draisital actually makes tons of sense.

Fuck I hope not.

Where did you hear that?
Edit: did some googling.
Im less scared after reading some but I still don't think any NHL players worth 13.25 million a year.

I really hope Draisital has an agreement in place with the Oilers already and they are just waiting for McDavid contract to sign at the same time.

Draisaitl asking for 9M, Oilers are hoping to get him for 7-8M.

Yep.

Need the cup next year because after that we have to rely on repeated cheap UFAs and prospects we cannot qualify after their ELC is up.

God that Lucic contract is just so fuckin bad.

Sekara and russell are pretty awful 2

Yep. Spending 9.5 million on what should be our #4 and #5 defenceman is insanity. And until 20-21...

Our entire defence save Nurse (ELC) is all making 4 mill+ and none of them are even in top 50 consideration for the position. Nurse will obviously be getting a raise to at the very least 5 million a year based solely on our teams contracts after next year....

Bye Bye RNH.

There's some good news on the cap front though. Remember Lauri Korpikoski? His buyout comes off the books after next year and Mark Fayne's 3.6 million deal we buried expires as well.

they could end up moving some bad contracts but I get the bad feeling that the Oilers are due for some regression because of some bad moves

god that Shattenkirk deal owns so much. I was so sure the Rangers were going to pay 8x8.

it's even better considering the deals other dmen were getting. Alzner has more years and an NTC at 5per while putting up 3rd pairing numbers.

So, examining EDM's cap space and current roster of signed players, We have 21/23 players already signed and have just under 19 million a year in cap space. Drasitial is one of those players and even if he gets $9m a year offer sheet, we have 10 million in space for one other guy.

That's not that bad honestly.

Next year, assuming a static salary cap and McDavid making 13.25m and Drai making 9m we have 65ish million spread out over 12 players. Now those 12 players are 5 of 6 D, Talbot, 6 forwards and 1 one buyout. It will be workable since we have a few ELC players making too much and Strome, who unless he goes off this year will get a pay cut.

By no means is the situation ideal but it is workable. Might not even need to trade Nuge

I honestly forgot Nuge is already at 6m per. He will most likely not even get that in 3 years. But him and Lucic making that, something will have to give eventually.

The issue is when you're paying 2 of your centers 13.25M and 9M (assuming Draisaitl plays center behind McDavid.. which he will if he's getting 9M a season) it's not very wise to pay your 3C 6M a season. RNH becomes expendable at that point, doesn't make much sense to pay him 6M just to have him play behind Draisaitl and McDavid.
