That's a big one

 

[Kanye]

Seems about right.

 

[Balthazar]

Not too bad.

[WTFMAN99]

I guess Matthews is coming in at 8 years 10M per.

That being said, CONGRATS to Connor McDavid.

 

[Duck Off]

it's a lot, but if there's someone to give it to, it's him.

 

[Batrous]

Congrats to the Oiler's fan. You have locked up a heck of a player for a very long time.

 

[I Pity The Foo]

Good for him. Great deal

 

[TOGuy14]

Top cap hit in the league. Lots of pressure now

 

[The Missing Piece]

legit price tag

 

[Russian Factor]

total of 97.97M lol what a weenie. takes after Sid

 

[Flukeshot]

Yup he definitely left some money on the board.

 

[Yamborghini]

Lockout incoming

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

100 Million. Damn

 

[crowfish]

Amazing deal for the Oilers and their fans, anything less than the league maximum is a steal for McDavid.

 

[Apathetic]

Assuming the cap goes up about 3% next year will be ~16% of the cap.

 

[Pestilence]

No Draisatl contract announced I guess :O

 

[Legend123]

the best signing of all time for the best player of all time!!!

 

[Patmac40]

Live look at Connor McDavid:

 

[JaegerDice]

Fair deal.

Find me a way to spend 12.5 mil on a roster that helps me win more than McDavid?

 

[RememberTheName]

Congrats to McDavid, now the largest contract in NHL history (I think)!

 

[I am not exposed]

Quite a bit more than the $9.7m some were hoping! But a nice bit less than the potential $14m.

Good for him. He's worth it, and Oilers fans should be ecstatic he's with them for basically the next decade.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

A great deal. Will look like a steal in a few years.

 

[Freudian]

So they leak too high a number and now they can sell the story of the player insisting on taking less. Smart move.
