Fortune Teller: This year Connor McDavid will surpass his career high in points. Draisaitl will hit 100 points and 48 goals. Nuge will hit 30 goals and set a career high in points. Nurse will have a career year.

Oilers fan: Awesome! We’ll make the playoffs!!!

Lucic: Hold my beer.

6m gift will bounce back. I am sure of it.
He is done, the game has passed him by, too slow and no skill but he’s laughing all the way to the bank, he just needs to show up in shape for training camp to keep getting paid, life’s good

While I agree that he’s done I doubt that he’s doing much laughing about it. I’m sure this is harder on him than it is on the fan base.

You would be surprised, players care more about money now a days than winning, young kids making millions really have no worries in life

If guys cared they would take a huge pay cut to sign good players but it’s all about money and selfishness. Look at nylander for example

But most are not, it only means fans pay more which is brutal. Fans need to stop going to games until they lower prices period

Won a cup already, his contract is almost entirely guaranteed even if he's bought out because of bonuses. He knows he's done after his current contract is over. All he really has to do now is not get hurt and he's retiring happy.

I personally don't see a guy out there that cares enough to do whatever it takes to be involved in games. He could be like Ryan Reeves if he wanted, chasing guys down, getting in people faces, chirping, instigating. I just see a guy trying to do some dangles and hope passes (both failing 90% of the time), rushing plays just inside our blueline so he doesn't get hit (resulting in lots of bad giveaways), making some routine hits, and going through the motions.

He did bounce back up right after Phaneuf hit him last night. Didn’t do much else though.

It's pretty clear to see that even on the top line, he wasn't motivated enough to do those things, just floating around and being slow. Sure he'd throw some hits but that's about it. Then you've got a guy like Kassian who's put on the top line and is a completely different player. 2 seasons of absolute suck, can't get rid of this clown fast enough.
