This makes zero sense, one of the most valuable players in the league signed an under market deal to stay for at least 2 extra years.
There a few scenarios:
- Oilers win a cup in the next few years. Long shot it happens but if so he either signs and rides into the sunset as an oiler. Thye may never win again but there’s still a cup. He leaves, but there’s still a cup.
- They don’t win a cup and he forces a trade, it’s an incredibly tradeable contract so you get people back and start your rebuild
- worst case scenario, they don’t win and he walks to free agency amd you get nothing. That sucks but by that pont if they haven’t won with him they never will, so the rebuke is full on.
