Just getting back to form. He's a Top 6 Winger and his expectation is to get points.

I'm sticking with my prediction. Plays 20 or less games and gets injured. 4 points. 1 million each for next seasons cap.

So much for playing with McDavid and setting the league on fire...
McDavid pushed hard for both Campbell and Brown. Funny how that's turned out. Maybe he should leave the GM duties to someone else.

Whoever is editing that table needs to get his dates figured out, his months and day format go back and forth

Leafs get mocked endlessly for not making it far in the playoffs. But then Edmonton signs a Leafs cast off and then they flex like they stole a key piece of the Leafs team. Then Edmonton seems to not do very well with that player the Leafs let go.
Barrie
Ceci
Campbell
Hyman
Brown (via Ottawa)

Hyman is the only one who has panned out, which isn't saying much given the money spent on Leafs castoffs.

I agree for the most part (Oil fan)
but Barrie was a great player for us. If we didn't have Bouch, he'd still be here and be loved IMO. Obviously a limited player but we got some good years out of him.
Ceci has played his best career hockey for us but is miscast.
Campbell is a disaster and we look stupid. TONNES of Leafs fans said this the day the contract was signed. They were right!
Hyman has been amazing
Brown looked like a great signing and idea but it's turned into a bad idea.

for any tech savvy/entrepreneurial HF'ers who might be interested.. the hasconnorbrownscoredyet.com domain name is still available.. could be a moneymaker
Wow, i completely missed this contract, what a trainwreck so far !!!
Hindsight, obviously but how could Holland give him that much considering he had played 4 gms last season, and why only 10 games, why not 20 . Not saying I'm smarter than Holland, but just mindboggling!!

Loved Brown in Ottawa, but to say he was streaky would be an understatement.
GM Connor McDavid just told the team to sign his dad to play goal. He also stated his mom has a real calming influence and to bring her in to pair with Bouchard. GM McDavid also announced he will stay above the center line for the rest of the season to ensure he wins the Art Ross this season.
Everyone starting to see what I was talking about now in Edmonton? McDavid is selfish and doesn't play winning hockey.

We went from Steve Yzerman doing everything he could with a busted leg to win a cup for Detroit to a guy who does nothing but sulk even before he was even drafted.
And don't forget Crysaitl. I don't even see what Matheson did that was so wrong, honestly.
It's sad. He's probably a top 3 talent all time (Lemieux, Orr) but he had no one around him to show him the way. He's turned into a loser.

I get what you're saying, but putting him beside Lemieux? I mean, talent-wise, sure, I can get why you'd do that, but as a player? Lemieux blows him away. Lemieux went through horrendous back problems, a broken hand, cancer, and anemia, and did what he had to do, every period of every game.
I don't see that level of committment from McDrai. I see a couple guys who are fine just collecting individual trophies and paychecks. In the NBA, the Big Three of the Spurs took paycuts year in and year out to keep the team competitive.
I bet McDrai are gonna ask for even more money when it comes time to sit down with the front office. Why wouldn't they? Look at the Nurse and Brown contracts - the Oilers clearly don't care, so why should the players? Who wouldn't just milk the team for all they can? So, what, a bunch of fans you'll never meet in real life can whine online about how you're a greedy jackass? Who cares, you're set for life....

Vinnie Desharnais for Hart Ross
Having 15 bad games after 300 odd generation defining regular and postseason games does not mean much. You also conveniently forgot that Lemieux had Jagr, Francis, Coffey and co to pick up the pieces for his cups.
Why talk out of your ass?

This reeks of trying to get clever being the smartest man in the room with an obscure bonus structure loophole that literally nobody else ever seems to decide to use...
And getting burned.

The only thing being defined this generation is the Oilers squandering yet another pair of first overall picks.
