Oilers were lucky to get McDavid and Draisaitl to commit to the max term for their extensions as it gave them a long window to figure everything else out. We will see how the Hyman contract ages as well as the Campbell one but I don’t really like either deal long term. Nurse is a brutal contract and they are trying to dump Barrie and Foegle after the first year of their deals. Kane will be interesting to see if he doesn’t regress without the carrot of a long term deal in front of him.
I look at the Oilers through a pessimistic view so I can easily see them having a nightmare season with an injury or stumble that causes things to go off the rails
