Klefbom must not see himself as much more than a #4 d-man.
Might end up alright for the Oilers if he reaches his potential.

Could be great but could also blow up in there face.
IMO bad precedent for them to give somebody that after only 77 games though.
What will Nurse and McDavid want?

Seven year deals should be reserved for the absolute creme-de-la-creme top-pairing players. Is that what Klefbom is?

Klefbom is the sweetheart of oilers fans on the D side along with nurse. Although marincin was hyped up just like klefbom is now and look what happened there.

If the numbers are correct, Klefboms AAV will just be around 500k below T.J. Brodies. Let that sink in for a moment.

Was thinking more like 4 or less for it to be a steal.... 4.5 could still end up being a steal but I'd be a little uncomfortable as an Oilers fan. That's money that proven players gets, and while I'm high on Klefbom, I'm not sure about this deal.
Could work out but.... yeesh.

Exactly. They're just further blowing up their internal salary structure. If Nurse is playing better than Klefbom after the same amount of time why shouldn't he ask for 8 years 5.5 million or higher? McDavid could get 8 years and however much he wants. In a cap world you have to try a maximize value on younger players on their earlier contracts to keep a strong team together. Obviously Chiarelli still doesn't get that, look at the state he left the Bruins in.

Klefbom's been good at the SHL level too. He's a good defenseman. Maybe not a top pairing guy like Oil fans want but certainly a second pairing guy.

Their internal salary structure is pretty normal:
#1D - Nurse? @ 6M?
#2D - Sekera @ 5.5
#3D - Klefbom @ 4
#1C - McDavid @ 9.5M?
#2C - RNH - 6M
#1W - Hall - 6M
#2W - Eberle - 6M
________________
Total: 43M into "core"
That's where you want the money to go. Projecting our own team forward
#1D - Gio @ 6.75
#2D - Brodie @ 4.5
#3D - Hamilton @ 5.75
#1C - Bennett - 6.5M?
#2C - Monahan - 6.5M?
#1W - Gaudreau - 6.5M?
#2W - ???? - 5.5M?
-----------------------
42M
We shouldn't be too optimistic we can get our forwards for much cheaper, factoring in inflation

Great move by PC. He will never be worse than a #4 (His contract is in that range) and he is locked up 7 more years after next year. Him progressing is all gravy.

But everything's different now because Chiarelli is in charge and MacT and Lowe totes have no influence! I don't get it...

He didn't look like a #4 Dman last year. Not sure what he has shown at the NHL level to earn that kind of salary commitment for 7 years.
It could look good in a couple years if he continues to progress, but paying for potential is what got the oilers into this mess in the first place.

This is exactly what my first thought was... not long ago you'd have mentioned those two guys in the same breath. Now one is getting top 4 money for 7 years and the other is given away for basically nothing to Toronto.
