I heard that and laughed. Tell me you are a big Oilers/Leafs fan without telling me you are an Oilers/Leaf fan. Yes let's penalize teams that have managed their salary cap well so a couple of Canadian teams that have mismanaged the cap can have an advantage. Let's not forget that the Oilers offered that Darnell Nurse contract coming right out of the COVID bubble season.
