Sign McDavid to a discount deal and immediately give all the savings to Walman plus 3x the term

And literally stop all draft and development because it doesn’t fit in the new window.

The oilers didn’t do it in the last window either so no change required with the expectation that all draft picks be traded and development forgotten.

Do they even need Bakersfield?

I wasn't sure if it could be, but I hate the Oilers more now than I did two days ago.

1 thing that keeps getting overlooked when looking at the cap situation for the Oilers with Mcdavid on a discount is Campbell buyout is at it's highest this season and next. This season isn't any different, but next year the cap goes up but Campbell cap hit is $2.6 mil.

They over paid Walman on top of this.

I show they have $21 mil space next year with 15 players. This is assuming that Howard and Savoie are on the team. This looks like a bunch of cap space, but the cost for free agents as gone up and they don't have assets to trade for cheap star players.

Can the Oilers win the cup after going to the finals 2 straight years, getting older each year? I don't see them being in the best cap position to maybe the last year of Mcdavid contract. Florida still has them beat and a team like Colorado has Makar and Mackinnon on deals way cheaper than Leon and McDavid make combined.

Carolina is still looking better as well.

It's like the media's analysis stops at McDavid at a $5M discount equals cup after cup.

A lot of people in the media are communications majors, and a lot of communications majors signed up for that because they were told there would be no math.

Idk if it was posted here yet but did anyone else see the clip of Perry in the locker room during game 4. "Are we ####ing stupid, or just dumb" should be up for the name of the next E=NG thread

Does this rant motivate anyone? I can’t remember what the incident was but imagine he’s talking to you. Hilarious!

Glad Perry's gone, sounds like he actually was providing some leadership.

"Quit b****ing and go to work." is probably the only decent flack any of these 30 year old teenagers have ever had.

"Keep your stick on the ice." I mean, that's just good fundamentals.

Say what you will about Perry, he's slimy but the guy is a gamer.

One of those "hate playing against them, love them on your team" kind of guys.

Nope, would never want that creep on my team. Chicago basically fired him for cause.

I'm sooo glad Perry has been blue balled in the finals in 5/6 years regardless of what side hes been on

No wonder he mad.
