Yeah, I think he'll be a good even great player for the bulk of the contract... but the Oiler will have zero room for (more) error.
If they have any more money to spend they should be spending it on scouts because they no longer need good players... they need good
AND cheap players.
The path exists for them... but it's a very very narrow path.
