12.5M? I'll take it

 

[McDraekke]

Very pleased that his number is below 13M. 9 more years indeed.

 

[McOilers97]

After the $13.25m rumours, $12.5m is a good deal for us. Happy with this.

 

[Spawn]

100M contract.

Big time money

Heck of a player though.

 

[grego]

Awesome

 

[doulos]

Months ago I was hoping for 12, so 12.5 is a bit higher than I personally would have liked, but this is Connor's league now. Here's to a long future with multiple Stanley Cups.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Paging the "he's ruined Oilers with his greed" crowd.

 

[rickysusedsht]

well we now have our capt and best player tied up for almost a decade...that is great great news

 

[Shibumi]

But, but, but Toronto...I thought he was going to flee at the first chance he got.

Seriously all kidding aside, good deal for both sides.

 

[Diamondillium]

Connor my man!

 

[ResilientBeast]

Just make sure 97 + 29 are less than 20 million PC and I'll be happy

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Very happy about this.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

worth every penny

 

[The Nuge]

So much for the 14+ everyone claimed... so pumped to have the best player in the world locked up for 9 years

 

[McBooya42]

 

[Ninety7]

Amazing! So happy

 

[Frank the Tank]

Just make sure 97 + 29 are less than 20 million PC and I'll be happy

That'll be tough based on Tarasenko and Kuznetsov deals. Less than $21M is more realistic.

Nonetheless, great news that McDavid is locked in for the next 9 seasons.

Well that's why he's not signed yet. PC stick to your guns

[Aerrol]

Better than rumoured numbers, higher than I initially hoped but totally manageable.

So happy to have the new face of the league signed this long!

 

[rockinghockey]

That is better then stated but LD his the next domino to fall

 

[doulos]

This was the easy contract. Now the tough one. Hope Connor has a good heart to heart with Leon.

 

[oXo Cube]

I wanted to get both 97 and 29 signed for ~20M combined.

Looking good right now.

Where's that gif, Del!
