Confirmed with Link: OEL Signs 8 year Extension (8.25 AAV)

[rt]

I started with the emo thing too but then it clicked... Drama llama! Unless I'm wrong..which is possible.

Ah. I'm in my thirties. I don't remember if we had emos in high school. Were they in the drama club?

Hasn’t he said all along he would like to be back? Doesn’t seem like a change.

Correct. Most are getting their panties in a knot.

now queue "OEL is the most overrated player in the NHL"...…..

 

[Mosby]

Hope the jersey re-design leaves enough space on the right side for the captain "C". Looks better on that side than the left. Looks even better on OEL's jersey.

 

[RABBIT]

I poked Morgan, Gambo, and Morin. Gambo called the Raanta signing, might as well

Morgan:

Coyotes, Ekman-Larsson nearing agreement on eight-year extension

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Can someone maybe poke Craig Morgan? Or is he on his monthly vacation again? I forget, is it usually the 1st and 2nd week of each month that he takes completely off? Maybe it was the 2nd and 3rd? Or possibly the 3rd and 4th week of every month? I can't remember.

Ask and ye shall receive: Coyotes, Ekman-Larsson nearing agreement on eight-year extension

 

[Tad Mikowski]

Yes! You can't have our Ollie!

 

[RABBIT]

Craig seems to believe it's pretty much done. Say what you will about him, but he has a good track record when he comes off fairly certain about something.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Kevin Epp is Chayka's BFF this year....Raanta, OEL and Hjammer soon. Maybe Chayka does his buddy a solid by giving Epp client and UFA Josh Gorges a 1 year deal as 6/7 D.

best track record in town, that's for sure.....

 

[Muppet]

Looks like our Swedish Prince is returning for 8 more years

 

[Mosby]

We need more Kevin Epp clients.

 

[mouser]

Signing bonuses are paid July 1.

Signing bonuses are commonly paid on July 1st, but it’s not mandatory to structure signing bonuses that way in contracts.

 

[Mosby]

Right. IIRC the Demers deal didn't happen until late in the summer because his bonus was paid out sometime in August. And we wanted Florida to pay it.

 

[KG]

We need more Kevin Epp clients.

Lol so true. Nice to have a friendly agent after Overhart and his ilk

 

[SniperHF]

I've changed my avatar to Yandle wearing an OEL of Sweden hat in the hopes of the good news coming to pass on July 1.

 

[TheLegend]

Also of note... this could have also played into it..

God I miss Yandle. As good as Goligoski has been, I can’t believe we didn’t pursue Yandle instead.

I just went drama llama because it rhymes and I feel like I've heard it before. Don't think it has to do with the drama kids... More just drama in life. Idk... Memes are all over the place these days so I'll pretend like it's a thing!

On OEL... So excited to hear positive news on this. This was the only thing giving me any anxiety for the Yotes... Would have been a huge blow to the franchise without him imo. But if this turns out I'm excited about the years to come! I've been picturing OEL lifting a cup since I saw Ovie do it... I'd be cool with that.

The agent works for the player. Oftentimes they are a reflection of the temperament of those who hired them.

I doubt OEL ever wanted to leave. But now the fate of the franchise is on his shoulders.

probably best on his rather than any other current member, however.

I think at times you can be overly nostalgic about reacquiring former players. I’m happy to have moved on from Boedker.

This is true. Yandle is one of my top five favorite all-time Coyotes, though. I’d trade Goligoski for him in a second.

Bobby Ryan might have the worst contract in the NHL. He's 31 with 4 years left at 7.25m. He played 62 games each oh his last two seasons and averaged 29 points. What helpful player could we expect to get from Ottawa if we also agreed to take Bobby Ryan at full value? Let's assume we send them a replacement level winger like Archibald.

Bobby Ryan + Colin White for Josh Archibald? Is that worthwhile? Surely the Sens would refuse a better offer like Ryan + Stone.
