Edmonton is No Good XII: "I Dunno.. it's Just Not Good."

We like to joke about it around here, but apparently McDavid really is the GM. And they talk about this like its a completely normal and expected thing.

So McDavid is calling guys around the league to get them to ask their teams to waive them?

This is a whole lot of bs. Nothing to see here at all.

Cue the Connor McDavid tampering charges next.

Two-for-one vouchers for Appetizers at the Trough.

Lol.... Stan Bowman has been calling other teams around the league to lay the groundwork for potential future trades. So, he is doing general manager stuff that every general manager does, and somehow that is praise worthy?

[direwolf]

Lol, so TSN posted an update on the McDavid contract talks. And the update is… that there’s nothing to report and there’s no actual update. Even the media are getting desperate now, haha.

[CaptainCrunch]

If the Oilers start slow, the panic and negativity from up the road will be delicious.

[Reggie Dunlop]

nope

There's a "Connor McDavid" quota in the media. For clicks, streams, etc.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

The "updates" are guys who know nothing about mcdavid's state of mind and personal outlook putting themselves in his shoes and saying yeah imma sign that 2, 3, 4 year extension on a random day when I feel like it.

So little intellectual honesty about how If it was as simple as that it would be done, and never a mention of the real possibility of him walking.

Not being signed is a distraction, any way you slice it. So why would he allow that to persist into an important season? Its so blatantly obvious that the prospect of leaving Edmonton is intriguing enough to endure that distraction, otherwise it would be done.

Just too funny to watch them dance around the truth they're trying to avoid.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Or maybe not?

Seravelli is making sound like contract talks are heating up, Friedman speculating the same.

What's to heat up?

McDavid knows the Oilers will offer max $ at whatever term he's willing to sign.

It's in McDavid's hands.

Mavi diary - day 34

Dear diary. Today has been coming for a while now. I scheduled and met with the accountant for fiscal year end of Lauren’s businesses. I’ve gone ahead and done it…met at 9:30. By 9:45, I had signed a brand new $25 million 1 year contract with the oilers.

The accountant showed me how much the bar was losing. I had to lock in my contract now otherwise Lenard was at risk of getting some cheap dog food. He’d never stand for that.

I phoned Leon to tell him that I was making almost as much money in one year as he was in two.

People think that it’s easy being me. Just showing up and letting my electric personality take over the room, the concert, or the Amazon Prime show. It’s hard being me because I’m not just a hockey player, I’m also the co-owner of a house design company, a bar, a furniture store, and a clothing shop.

I’ve helped with the design of gear by growing; I now support two colours. 1) Sweatpants grey, and 2) Beige. I feel that’s only fair to expand my range and express myself as Lauren did with our two tone house.

===

Bad news diary. I just got off the phone with Leon. He says that I actually signed a two year deal for $25 million. I knew I should have stuck with one colour. Now everything’s messed up.

I immediately phoned Emperor Nerostan to say that there was a mistake and could I please have my contract back. He said sorry that he had already spent that on a 7 year $7 million per year contract on another defenceman…seriously I said to him…$49 million US on another dman? Like how many do we need?

I told Nerostan that no one would believe that deal. He was sorry but said that we could tell everyone that I was a great guy and only took a small amount of money. He said that he would use the Oilers draft picks and depth to deliver in the next 2 seasons. I told him that I could have signed for any team for $12.5 million, literally any team. Nerostan said that he was really happy to have me back but I’m not.

Already Brad called to tell me that there were no more free pizzas.

Leon called and told me that he was worth more to the oilers, for longer, than me.

Lenard barked at me when I went to give him his veggie burger dinner.

My network Sportsnet called me to thank me for not buying TSN.

Wormy called and offered to console my mom in person for this mistake.

Hmmm…I wonder if I could get some of the licensing and likeness fees from the 50/50.

I have to run Diary. Ron Maclean wants to do a special on how I plan to save humanity when I just saved the oilers from Armageddon.

I don’t even know diary if I can afford the pens to write to you. My take home pay literally just shrank.

Tearfully yours Diary.
