Seems like most of the "sides" in this 10 page argument are right to be honest.
* Nugent Hopkins gave the Oilers a home town discount on the AAV
* At 28 there's some risk on the last 3-5 years
* It would have been more expensive to lose him and sign someone else
* His numbers are tumbling and he's pretty reliant on the PP and star linemates
* Edmonton is no good
