He's always been way more about individual accolades and point totals over winning, until maybe this year anyway. It actually seems a bit out of character of him to not celebrate an individual award.
I think that was why Bettman threw in the line about it being a trophy “for the entire playoffs”. He knew McDavid shat the bed in the finals.

So what does Edmonton's offseason look like? Surely they don't blow things up quite yet and try to do one last dance with core, no?

I know Bouch needs an enormous extension, Drai needs the same, McDavid will need a historical one not long afterwards. Holloway and Broberg are RFA. Their FAs are Brown, Carrick, Foegele, Gagner, Henrique, Janmark, Perry, Desharnai, Stecher and Pickard.

Nuse is making $9.25 for many, many more years and Campbell at $5M for another 3 years.

This was their year where everything aligned perfectly and they fell short. Their bottom 6 is going to get gutted and all their huge guys need big raises. They are so screwed.

Yup, Edmonton isn't in a run it back again situation like Florida was.
They very likely aren't get back to the finals with this group and the era of almost is almost over.

One of the first things they'll do IMO is buy out Campbell.

Bouchard for sure demands 10mil + given his point totals in the playoffs. Gotta think Janmark asks for significantly more as well having more Finals goals than Draisaitl and basically saving them from the sweep with his PK/SHG efforts

My daughter works at a sports store in Calgary and is obviously a huge Flames fan and Oiler hater (proper parenting). She was floored at the amount of bandwagon Oiler jerseys that have been sold the last few weeks and especially last weekend. Her work group chat is all about guessing how many come back for returns this week.

I felt like a big reason why the Oilers made it that far was their PK and the following were a big part of it.

Brown
Janmark
Foegele

Maybe Henrique too.

Foegele had a 40-point regular season, kiss him goodbye

Brown might stay for less, but technically he made $4 mil

Janmark will want a raise but maybe slightly more. But a guy like him needs to take best offer he gets.

Broberg also stepped up, he could get less than how good he plays next year

Holloway also stepped up, probably doesn't get over paid either.

Campbell buyout saves them $2.7 mil as his AHL cap hit was $3.8 mil.

13 guys $12 mil cap. short term deals for Holloway and Broberg at $1.75 and $1.25 leaves them with 15 guys and $9 mil. I think Brown and Janmark stay, and they will need to fill the roster with more Corey Perry's

This is the problem with no prospects

Are you surprised? Half of Calgary is from BC, Saskatchewan and Ontario. They have no more loyalty to the Flames than they do their own hometown teams.

Crazy that Florida has the 1st, 2nd and 4th overall picks from 2014.
