8 years ago the Oilers dodged a bullet when they offered David Clarkson more money than they Leafs, no doubt loaded with buyout proof signing bonus money.
The cap was what $64-65 million.
5 years ago a bullet hit them between the eyes with Lucic when the cap was ~$73 milllion.
They’ve learned nothing. Maybe the Nurse & Hyman contracts turnout better than Lucic & Clarkson deals, however that’s a boat load of risk if they don’t, or even close to the same value.
It’s just another Oiler short cut in evolving plan of… “if everything goes right we’ll be fine, and let’s not consider things going bad.”
