    1 year of Leon at $8.5M is worth taking your time with the negotiation. The only way he ever leaves Edmonton, in my opinion, is if Connor signaled that he wanted out of town. Which he hasn't.....and likely won't. It's a sexy story to talk about, and hypotheticals are fun (I have a fun one about him agreeing to play for bits of string in Tampa!), but I just think this is all smoke and no fire. Of course, there's a wildcard here and his name is Ken Holland.

    • @chrisg1556
      @chrisg1556 3 месяца назад

      I mostly agree. The odds are Draisaitl stays. But listening to his answer about his contract today at the presser suggests it might be a possibility. He never actually said he wanted to stay in Edmonton when asked. He gave the "We'll see what Edmonton wants, and I'll talk to my agent, and we'll go from there" answer. That sounds like a guy who's keeping his options open.

      It's not so much what you pay your stars, rather the ability to have a steady stream of contributing players currently on ELCs, avoiding albatross contracts for mid-level players, and not paying for past performance rather than current and future performance.
      If they can jettison Nurse and Campbell without taking back bad salaries the Oilers will have plenty of room to re-sign their two stars and still build a decent supporting cast.

    Draisaitl needs to move out if he wants a shot at a cup. McOverrated coming up with 4 games scoreless isn't the way to win. He needs a teammate who's worth his contract and can show up in big moments. If I'm going to pay a guy 12+ million dollars a year, he better be stepping up and getting it done offensively. If I'm the head honcho of the oil stain, the first 2 lines are getting moved, because they played like absolute trash. Sad when your 3rd line has to bail out your "superstars " 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    McDavid had a special post season. If Edmonton won the Cup, he's the slam dunk winner. There's no debate, he should get 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The way I look at the Conn Smyhe, is it's the MVP to their team in the post season. The entire goal of the post season and the only thing that matters is the Cup. It's the ultimate team goal in the playoffs. I feel the Conn should always go to the player who was the MVP of the Cup winner. Who was the most vital player to accomplish that goal? Others don't view it that way but that's the way I look at it and the only thing to change my mind would be someone to convince me the Cup isn't the only goal of the playoffs.
