Nuge could have signed 2 years for league min and people would still say bad deal not enough term they won’t be good until that contract expires anyways. This is a good deal for them and could set the oilers up this off season and moving forward. Their next moves could be huge for them. I’m really hoping Holland screws the next move up

The only current UFAs who made even close to that amount in their last contract are Ovechkin, Geltzlaf and Hall.
On the other hand Brandon Saad would be a clear upgrade and he made $6M in his last contract. He might make $7M next time out. Landeskog would be an upgrade, he made $5.5 and he will get more, but not $3.5 more. Reinhart won't be getting $9M. Johannson won't. Palmieri won't.
