Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Oilers sign Connor McDavid (8 years, $12.5M AAV)

[xxsciroccoxx]

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

You're not very good in math, are you?

 

[Reds4Life]

Should have taken 9.7 to mimic what Crosby has done.
12.5 is a lot for one guy, especially since he hasn't proven he can get it done in the playoffs at all.

 

[tmlmatus]

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

That being said, CONGRATS to Connor McDavid.

If only.

Congrats to my brother Connor McDavid on securing his bag #grafteful

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Great deal for Oilers. McDavid could have asked for more. Next up: Draisaitl.

 

[surixon]

The Oilers better hope the cap doesn't continue to flatline as that's an awful large chunk of the cap. He's likely worth it thought.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

McDavid comes in at the number I predicted...12.5 per! Off to get some lotto tickets!!


Good for him. He deserves it. Good for the Oilers having their star locked up.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

Called it.

It's not a steal. It's not an overpayment. It's completely justified.

You pay the man. He is your franchise now.

 

[tempest2i]

$100,000,000

 

[Aceboogie]

Yessssss

8 years instead of 5?! what a god damn steal

 

[MorrisSmit89]

deserves much more.. but good for him

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Wow. Great signing. Is he now the most paid NHL player?

 

[fsanford]

Got some UFA years, very good deal
Similar to Doughty deal in term, those UFA years are very important.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[llamateizer]

Fair deal.

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

beside ELC contracts, nothing gets near that

lol worst post ITT congrats

Silence from the professional armchair quarterbacks.

 

[Iceman]

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

Ovechkin was a larger contract.

 

[Nuckles]

500K too much per year. Terrible deal.

 

[Fightman]

The 100 millions dollars Kid !

 

[jetsforever]

A lot but warranted

 

[Neuf]

For the sake of the league, I am glad it isn't any higher than that. Having said that - this guy is the real deal and should be worth it.

AAV is fair value but getting the full 8 years is unreal. Most top guys did 5 years after ELC. With next years final ELC year and 8 years after, they have him locked up for 9 more years

 

[X66]

13.25 or 12.5, it was a steal either way.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

"The next part of the announcement."

Yup, Draisaitl getting extended too.
