Oilers fanboys are trying to say in 4 years it will be a steal with the cap going up and that making it 8 prevents him from asking for more.

They said similar about their cap dumps like Kane and Lucic too

Guy has clearly had some undiagnosed concussions. Does he think he's still in Boston?

Seriously.

I know the stakes are pretty low because it’s only 3.85 million per year but I think this the stupidest contract in the history of the NHL. Maybe not the worst because the dollar figure but definitely the stupidest.
It came with trade protection!?!?! wtf!?!

Dumps Kane and pours more than half the cap savings into Frederic.

the only plausible situation for this contract is that it somehow guarantees McDavid to re-sign... like Frederic is going to be his live in Nanny or something.

I guess this is what you have to do when you’re on almost every players’ no-trade-to list…

The reasonable conclusion one can draw from this contract is that Frederic knows that there are corpses buried under McDavid's basketball court and he has the evidence to prove it.

"Yes sir Mr. Frederic, right away Mr. Frederic, as you please Mr. Frederic...."

This is a valid argument... when the player is 22-23. And has upside.

Frederic is a bottom 6er who will be 31 in 4 years. When is the last time a bottom 6er filled out an 8-year contract?

Any time you can give a guy with 9 points in 44 playoff games $32M over 8 years, you have to do it.

Certainly before you address the goaltending.

Full NMC for the first 4 years!!! And limited team no trade after that. He will need to be protected if there happens to be an expansion draft in the next four years.

This keeps getting more bizarre.

Even the most hardcore Oilers fan at my office thought this signing was 4 years too long...

Though he also couldn't resist "pointing out" that Frederic has more points than Bennett did before he re-signed with the Panthers and turned into a Conn Smythe winner, AND, maybe Frederic plays on McDavid or Draisaitl's wing next season...

Uh, ok.

It's funny that this contract indicative of why the lowered the limit to 7 years.
It's to keep GMs from hurting themselves.

I would have been less shocked if they gave this deal to Kaspari Kapanen.

Frederic was pretty much invisible when he was on the ice in the playoffs.

I hope they loose Bouchard now.
