Hilarious overpay by the Oilers. His performance without the McDavid blanket is nothing exceptional. He has no business getting over $7 million/year.
But, in the end him and McDavid came in about where I thought they would combined. McDavid unfortunately signed for less than he's worth when he could have held the Oilers ransom for the maximum. So McDavid pretty much bank-rolled the overpay.
