And they will give another team a 3rd to eat another 50% for 75% retained.

Also interesting that article suggest Nurse will have the best year of his career with the weight of that extension about to hit. Also they predict Brett Kulak to all of a sudden improve when he turns 29?
I obviously look at the Oilers through some hate but I don’t agree with the notion this team has improved. I think there is a reason the Leafs let Campbell walk and roll the dice with Murray yet Oiler fans feel comfortable giving him the 5x5 deal? I think he will be as much of a solution for Edmonton as Talbot or Elliott were in Calgary which is average to below average.
Is Woodcroft some elite coach in the making or did they benefit from a new coach bump? Time will tell. Is Evander Kane as motivated now that he secured a contract over $20M? That Kadri contract is going to age so poorly yet Kane was from the same draft class. If he slumps and gets demoted to the Nuge line will he take it in stride or will he doing what Evander Kane does? He has been basically kicked out of 3 other locker rooms so not sure why all of a sudden he will be a completely changed man in Edmonton considering he is no longer hungry for the contract.
