What a terrible deal for the Oilers.

They're going to be insane good next year. They're going to get some player to do the Kariya special where he came to the Avs for $2m to win a cup. Maybe Crosby

I suspect it will be 2.
So he's there for 3 more seasons (including this one).

Then I really think all bets are off.

I am guessing it will likely be 2 years for McDavid

I suspect sadly that getting McDavid for less than Kaprizov if the option was losing him for nothing is a good deal for the Oilers.

They have a bad D and bad goaltending. How does this make them any different form last year, if not worse?

Ok so 22M for Walman + Mcdavid? I think we would've been ok with 17 and 5 so it could be worse? Trying to find the silver lining

Age 32/33 year seasons will be a point where things aren't quite like they were. McDavid is a moron if he actually committed to that sideshow for longer than 3 years. Not only will they remain in cap hell, they'll also be dealing with overpaid superstars that can't hit the levels they could in their 20s.

Looking forward to seeing the Oilers organization whiff this gift from McDavid.

Their defense is overpaid, but it's not bad. Bouchard, Ekholm, Nurse, Walman is a respectable top 4. Overpaid by a mile, but talent is fine.
