[Signing] Oilers sign Boyd Gordon (3 yrs, $3mil AAV)

[Hells Bells]

You know it's a bad contract when Ferraro is even tearing it to shreds.

[OILFAN #81]

Should have been 3 years, 2 M per. 1 M a year overpayment.

[RT14]

Yeah, I said good signing depending on contract and that's a major overpayment. Bad signing.

[Roof-Daddy]

Lol

No wonder he signed there.

[Flash Walken]

That's terrible.

What a terrible overpayment.

[you got PHANUEFED]

2.5 mill to much this is an overpayment .

[Ashasx]

Makes me feel not so bad about Ramo's contract.

[browna]

Baby steps for the Oilers...they previously over the past 5 years couldn't even overpay to get UFA's on Day 1, thanks to the toilet depths Lowe sunk their reputation to.

[Parallex]

... and MacT's streak of good moves comes to a grinding halt. 3M Per? Lunacy.

I agree. The Flames are at a different point in the rebuild cycle than the Oilers.

A good bottom six forward in terms of face-offs and puck possession.

But, not worth that sort of coin. This is a $500,000 to $1,000,000 overpayment.

[BACKCHECK!!!]

Ha ha. Stupid Oilers.

I can only hope the Flames skip any stage of a rebuild that involves signing guys like Boyd Gordon for $3M.
