Leon Draisaitl's is an unmitigated disaster, because imagine what the asking price will be when Connor McDavid's expires at the end of next season. And they're already talking about extending Evan Bouchard's, and his asking price is $11m per season. That would be complete insanity if the Oilers tie down the three of them, because it will EAT into their cap space, and will have far less room than they should have to tie down their remaining roster. They're going to do a Leafs, focus too much on their top line and less so on their squad depth. A perfect team at being imperfectly balanced.
Yea, unfortunately, this video was made before the Draisaitl was drawn up. I totally agree, though, that the cap is a huge issue for the Oilers. It'll be a challenge for the new GM for sure.
gotta PAY for the stars like Mc Saviour/ Drysaitl/Mathews... its almost MORE difficult, winning it all, with super talent! especially with out the supporting cast!
The difference in the Oilers and leafs would be that the oilers guys r proven play off preformers, arguably the best in the league. You have to pay those guys. Leafs guys have proven nothing
@@Samsquamsheven at 50% retention they would still have to add a 1st round pick to offload that contract. Too bad there’s no more Arizona anymore either, probably the only team that would have been willing to take on a contract like that to get to the floor
I think PLD is the worst one of the bunch. Gallagher's decline is from punishment combined with age. PLD has no such excuses. He's just a pooch pounder. Thanks for the content and especially for doing your own narration. In this day and age where most are using AI to "mail it in", you're doing it old school. Kudos to you for that, and for just being good at this stuff. You earn your subscribers.
Ahhhhhh .. I was so hopeful you would miss the Nurse contract .. But it was heartwarming that you had the Flames' Huberdeau at #1 .. That lifted my spirits right back up
Thank you very much! I upgraded my software over the off-season. I'm looking forward to providing you all with a steady stream of content. Stay tuned 😊
Are you kidding with Parayko? Any number of teams would trade for him. His value is defense and carrying the mail, the rest is gravy. Blues fans don't mind his contract a bit.
Oilers are doing big mistakes imo, injuries can still occures. They got both of the best players in the ligue, obviously, but no depth, as for the Leafs. They won't be able to keep their salary for many years. Long time no see Alyssa 😊, looking forward for this next season, I'm lacking hockey, Go Habs Go!!
Andersons contract is worse then Gallys imo as a Habs fan. Atleast Gally is absolute pure hard work every shift, Anderson like PLD is good when he feels like playing.
Good Video. I wouldn't put, in this list, Chicago Blackhawks Seth Jones. Even though, as you said, isn't playing as good as he once did, I think that's because Chicago doesn't have the team that they once had. I think that his numbers are an example of Chicago's rebuild & not because of his individual capabilities. I mean, he even got better Defensively. Let me know what you think.
Jonathan Huberdeau's like my comment about Seth Jones, as you said. Calgary is also in A Rebuild, however, his # did get better playing on a line with Yegor Sharangovich this year. Let me know what you think
Chandler Stephenson was the centremen, not Mark Stone. Part of the reason he is paid so much is because he is so good at EVERYTHING! He was so good when Vegas won the Cup, face-offs, forecheck, backcheck, he can shadow the other teams best centres (completely shutting them down, plays short-handed and powerplay), he also has a high hockey IQ. Sure, it does depend on who he plays with as to how many points he'll get, but I think he's one of the most valuable players in the entire league!
PLD, AKA "Pure Lack of Dedication "

Surely it'd help if they got rid of the Nurse contract right?

@@boxvango9021 Love Alyssa❤️ on the other hand, Dubois 8.5M till 2030!!! What a waste...

Grammar police here: at 7:50 "falling apart at the seams" is a truly impressive mixed metaphor.
Surprised that you didn't include Marc-Édouard Vlasic on that list, but still a great video! :)
great look alyssa. gonna be an awesome season. your editing is getting better every video. looking forward to your content throughout this year
Thank you very much! I upgraded my software over the off-season. I'm looking forward to providing you all with a steady stream of content. Stay tuned 😊
The good ole Ken Holland contracts 😂. As a Wings fan I hated Holland way over paying for players.
Are you kidding with Parayko? Any number of teams would trade for him. His value is defense and carrying the mail, the rest is gravy. Blues fans don't mind his contract a bit.
I'm starting to worry that Elias Petterssen's new contract will be on your next year's video

The Oilers will have to trade nurse to keep both McDavid and Bouchard
Andersons contract is worse then Gallys imo as a Habs fan. Atleast Gally is absolute pure hard work every shift, Anderson like PLD is good when he feels like playing.
I don’t think you understand the role of a defenseman, specifically defending

hopefully PLD can fill/ even partly the huge hole with no Backstrom (( 762 A's....
contracts of william nylander and mitch marner are the worst. blame it on kyle dubas.

Leave it to a pens fan to call the Wilson contract bad. Completely ignoring the energy and leadership he brings to the team? Shocked.
Everyone has different opinions. However, I thought I complimented his physical game (hits, blocks, etc). Thanks for watching!
@@AlyssaHope to be fair I made this comment before watching the video lol. Someone's gotta be here to rock the red lol
Thank you
Lol it’s refreshing not to see Doughty in these kind of videos anymore 😂
seth jones should be number 1
Oof. Swing and a miss.
