Going to be hard for the Oilers to be players for anyone in free agency until they can get those two contracts done. |
Chia did say he wouldn't be signing any of the teams UFA's or RFA's until he had a good handle on what the McDavid and Draisaitl contract were going to come in at. I imagine with Russell and Kassian being signed the last couple days we will see a joint announcement of their Contracts on July 1.
