No.... because they think they have something. If Edmonton could just unilaterally cancel and modify contracts, it wouldn’t be all that bad. They have no cap space and several very bad contracts that will hold them back for years. Even McDavid is overpaid.
Cancel Lucic, Larsson, Sekera, and Manning - that’s over 17 million
Lower McDavid to 11, Draisaitl to 6, Russell to 3, Koskinen to 3 - that’s 6.5 million
Don’t resign Talbot, Petrovic - that’s 6 million.
That’s 30 million .... now.... you can sign some good players.
Without that power... this will be a long process for any new GM they hire. They don’t have the skill and players that Bob thinks they have.
