[Dr Jan Itor]

$8.5

Done and done.

 

[WilliamNylander]

If that is his ask, he probably gets closer to 8?

Not bad, good value deal for the Oilers.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Offer sheet him for 9.8.

 

[McFlyingV]

And Gio's ask was 9M too. I think he'll get 7-7.5 on a 6-8 year deal. Maybe 7.75-8.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I'd give him the Tarasenko contract plus a singing bonus.

 

[Shrimper]

Would make sense for the Oilers to try and get a bridge deal. He could never hit 77 points again and he has only done that once.

2 years & $5m, then 6 years & $9m if repeated.

 

[Homesick]

I'm guessing 8.5/8

 

[Bronson]

I'd give him the Tarasenko contract plus a singing bonus.

He sings that well?

$8-$8.5 would be very ideal

 

[TOGuy14]

The Leafs finally have all these nice new toys and now these Oiler deals are freaking me out that we won't be able to afford them all shortly...

 

[Homesick]

Germans sound angry when singing so just pay him to zip it

 

[PWJunior]

Damn, these kids these days are greedy AF. The 2nd contract used to be slanted towards benefiting the organization. Seems like those days are over.

better than us for all we know

 

[DomBarr]

Then don't sign him to an 8 year deal...offer a 5 yr * $7M. 8 Yr * $9M is paying him entirely too much for 1 year of production especially when the bulk of that production was as McDavid's winger.

7x7 done.

 

[Drew311]

Things are just getting nuts.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

My guess is Drai gets a tarasenko contract.

Pushing 9 means the ask is, what, 8.75 right now? Honestly that's better than what's been rumoured.

8 years at 7.75 is my bet. Also most likely gets an A now that Eberle is gone.

People also need to look at deals as percentages of the cap more. A guy that got 6 mil three or four years ago is now on a bargain deal.

Wouldn't you be singing too if you got 64 million

Hopefully the Leafs trio share the Tavares/Toews/Kane/Karlsson/etc mindset of wanting to win instead of this Oilers mindset of going all in on the money.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Offer sheet him for 9.8.

Do it. Create some #OilChange.

it's crazy... one good season and they're loaded

Not if you are the Oilers. They gave out massive deals right away to all their young guys.

Isnt Matthews > McDavid in the eyes of some of the more fanatical amongst you?

Better hope he doesn't think that, too.

7x7 done.

That's an offer sheet waiting to happen.
