Haha! Stupid Oilers.

Yeah that's not a good contract to buy out, though they might just want him away from the team eventually and bite the bullet - it's at the point where his production is below an AHL replacement given the quality of ice time he gets and he takes a ton of bad penalties.


Only really benefits them significantly in year one and they still end up with 21.5 mil of the 24 mil hitting them... ouch.

Vegas scores again. Edmonton sucks. The universe is righting itself.

5 goals on 19 shots against Talbot.

You’d be an idiot to sign him to this deal. You’d be an idiot not to buy him out of it. That’s how bad he is.

Have to think Oilers are exhausted after playing the type of game Calgary put them through last night. Maybe that was part of the plan all along.

[Vinny01]

Oilers fans speculate Gulutzan will be the guy that takes over. How sweet would that be especially with Q, AV, and Sutter as potential options.

That isn’t buyout proof.

Anyway, E=NG regardless and my original point that the oilers won’t be able to hide behind their goons stands. Sooner or later Draisaitl is going to have to fight his own battles.

Yeah I have. Have you.
Cap hits of
$3,625,000 2019/20
$5,625,000. 2020/21
$4,125,000. 2021/22
$5,625,000. 2022/23

+ plus another 4 years of $650,000

Whoppeee they save $2,375,000, $375,000 $1,875,000, $375,000,
Two of those savings can’t even buy you ANY player in the league because they’re not even the league minimum.

That’s a grand total of $5,000,000 off $24,000,000 or 16% when typically contracts without massive signing bonuses is 1/2 (50%) the cap twice the term.

16% isn’t even half of 50%. They still pay 86% of the cap hit.

Plus... once the $650,000 starts kicking in they save a grand total of $2,500,000 against the cap, so they still get twice the term & an 8% discount on everything rather than 50%

HUGE SAVINGS!!

So for one year they get $2,375,000 relief & are cratered for the rest of the contract.

If you think that isn’t buyout proof, then please never ever negotiate contracts for the Flames.

I could care less if he plays for the Oilers or not he’s fossilized junk.

You need to look at how much they still pay him, not how much they save.

When you have a negative value on ice contributor, the savings are all that matter. As has bee posted, the cap savings are significant.

Quenville is still owed 11 Million by the Hawks. No way he walks away from that kinda cake.

They’d be stupid not to. So I guess maybe we do see him sticking around after all.

So how exactly is 84% of the term cap hit & 92% overall NOT a buy out Proof contract.

I hear what you are saying, which is basically that he’s so bad even if it was 5% it’s addition by subtraction.

But the buy bring 16% savings... with is next to nothing over 4 years.
