Great article.

Love OEL, I never want to see him in another team's jersey.

How well does OEL read English? Hope he doesn't see this and demand a raise, but he certainly deserves it.

But EDM fans say he isn't even that good!

One of my favorite HF tropes is this guy on the trade board, Signed - he calls him "the erotic EOL." I LOL every time I read that.

Norris caliber defense and scoring at a 25 goal, 65 point rate, for $5.5 million? Very well could be the best contract in the NHL.

OEL is Boedker's roommate *and landlord*? It's as if Boeds always knew he was temporary?

I've seen that. He had five or six posts in a row in the OEL/EDM thread going right now. I'm not sure how to respond it him, though. Is he being serious? Does he mean to say exotic and doesn't realize that erotic is entirely different?

That poster baffles me.

Guy sells underwear. What more d'ya want?

We can make it our band name.

 

[Matias Maccete]

When he signed it I was shocked, even at the time he was basically worth 6 mil.

This is hilarious. If someone can turn this into an Avy I'll sport it.

I like OEL a lot and think his contract is good but the bargain pales in comparison to guys like Gaudreau and Panarin.I suspect all 3 will be a lot less of a bargain next contract!!!

Edit: Brainfart by me, I thought OEL only had one year left. Fantastic deal for the Coyotes.

Plus ELC don't count for obvious reasons

 

[Summer Rose]

For you sir.

You actually did it! This is the greatest thing ever.

This thread got my interest on reasonable contract so I started looking at D men to compare with OEL and contract. It piqued my interest that OEL, Karlsson, and Klingberg are 3 Swedes in the top group of producing D men and all are on reasonable contracts. Are Swedes just reasonable or are the others just greedy?
