Speculation: McDavid Contract Discussion, Not Signed Yet: $14 million? $13.25 million?

[Staghorn]

See! You "leak" a number, then people freak out, then you come back at a 750K less number and you're hailed a HERO... LOL awesomely handled by the McDavid camp.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I've never seen Chia so nervous lol.

He's reading off a script which he never does.

He didn't want to screw up the numbers. Ha ha.

 

[Connor McFries]

Next 9 years, BATCHES!

 

[LaGu]

Over $3.3M....

No one is above the team! Greedy piece of ****!

 

[Shizuka]

Not enough credit goes to his parents who have raised a really humble, good kid. Bravo to them, and thank you Connor for signing at a relatively reasonable term for what you give to this team.

 

[McAsuno]

But.. but.. but.. he's selfish and greedy according to some fans and the Eastern media.

 

[Gord]

odd world, where we're happy with 12.5M lol

but yeah. could be worse!

 

[LaGu]

Great signing.

Good day.

Jagr & Drai???

 

[kurtcobang]

12.5 is still quite high, but it sounds like it could have been worse, so it is what it is.

Whatever Bud hahaha
"Quite high" never change

 

[Cloned]

Drai should take 7.5.

fireforcup, what happened bud?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Hopefully Drai and some UFA signings aren't very far behind.

 

[Staghorn]

Next 9 years, BATCHES!

LOL yes!! 8 year EXTENSION on top of next year... so for the next 9 years we get to possibly watch the best player I've ever seen play for the Oilers... Amazing news.

[McAsuno]

Del, where's that new McDavid gif?!

 

[Dorian2]

Ooops....Connor forgot to thank the guy signing his pay check.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Is there another part to this interview?

I heard "next part" after Q & A

 

[doulos]

fireforcup, what happened bud?

Maybe a birdy didn't tell him anything but instead someone flipped him the bird when he suggested that he would sign for under 11. I can see how that might be confusing.

Well, it's $0.75M lower than expected, that won't even get you a Gryba... So let's calm down on the hero narrative.

8 years is the sauce, the amount is a wash with what was predicted.

Bump so that it doesn't get lost
