Someone is likely gonna have to be traded. All eyes on Wideman


Why would that be holding it back when we have roughly $13 million of contracts coming off that year?

I think Bennett really has to break out huge to avoid a bridge deal or he will be paid quite a bit less than Monahan and Gaudreau. Monahan played 3 full seasons with 2 of the seasons scoring 60+pts and over 20 goals each year with a 30 goal season under his belt. Johnny has seasons of 64 and 78pts under his belt so he has proven a ton. Bennett burned a year playing well in the playoffs, and followed up with a season of 18 goals 36pts. He doesn't have 2 really good seasons that both Monahan and Gaudreau have that makes everyone comfortable to go long term big money.

I have a feeling Bennett is looking at a 2 year $3-3.5M contract next summer

I doubt GMs secretly hope their players will suck so they can fit everyone under a salary cap. The main objective is to win. If Bennett has a great year, I'm sure they'll be happy to lock him up long term...then deal with trading higher priced contracts or buying out certain players.

Gnomeo and Moniet?

Look, I understand that nicknames are crucial for some, but if this is what you have to offer just do us all a favour and just smash your face into your keyboard repeatedly instead.

Technically, isn't this entire forum one giant comments section?

One should never miss an opportunity to make fun of Oiler fans, regardless of the source.

(Or, as Oiler fans would say, irregardless of the source.)

I have tried reading some of the comments on Sportsnet and TSN articles. Absolutely Brutal. I guess that's what you get when everybody from the east is commenting.
