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

I think it'd be hilarious if they signed him. He's no better than Skinner IMO, and he'd be on brand for them.

Or if you think he can get max Salary on the long term deal then getting two extra years of cap inflation helps a lot.

You also have the cheater years on the back end of the contract pushing more money forward in time.

An insured two year deal likely maximizes career earnings.

Sure but if he gets seriously injured in the first 2 years he's still out 100+ million dollars, maybe its low enough risk for him but a risk nonetheless.

Unnecessary.

Whether he signs or not, it's sure fun watching the Oilers nation scream like rats all over social media. This will be hilarious if this continues into the season.

I have this as an e3 from a reliable source.

Sorry, what's an e3?

From Eklund and his website Hockeybuzz.com. Some no-name who rarely predicts the correct outcome on hockey rumors.


The E-System was devised with the intelligent hockey fan in mind as a way for Eklund to give subtle clues to rumors that are posted, as well as to gauge the likelihood of a rumor turning into an actual trade or free agent signing.



E1 - This is a rumor that comes from a single reliable source not in any way directly connected to the players or teams involved.

E2 - This rumor is simply more than one reliable sources not in any way directly connected to the players or teams involved and not connected to each other. It does not have to equate to two E1's. It could be several E1's.

E3 - This rumor comes from a single source with ties somehow to the players or teams involved.

E4 - This rumor comes from more than one source with ties to the players or teams involved.

E5 - This rumor comes from source telling Eklund the deal is 100% done and just has not been announced yet.

"then"

Try to pay attention in class this year.

[BigThief]

I'll take that as a "no" then.

There has to be a lot of heads hanging low in Edmonton today with the new playoff cap and limits on LTIR being implemented. Thats a massive hit to them.

Oilers podcast.. Got some things right in the past but also get a lot wrong.

Seravalli was on tv 2 hrs ago saying that McDavid is going to take his time to see if Edmonton is the place he wants to be.

So who knows.
