Not a whole lot in the game 4 post-game thread which is all I've been reading over there.

Some posters did expand on it a little thinking that McAvi took a potshot at Kass in his post-game interview when he said, regarding their lack of intensity, that: 'We can't play Calgary every night to bring it'.

Anytime someone talks about feeling sorry for McLottery, I dismiss their opinion outright.

He could have easily taken a shorter deal and he chose not to. Matthews did.

I heard a clip from a podcast that rumored Bettman pressured McDavids agency group(Orr?) to get a deal done long term in Edmonton, no clue if it was anything close to the truth but it wouldn't shock me either.

As fun as it is the even partially blame McDavid, this is the least talented team outside Detroit up and down the lineup

He might able to back check more if he wasn’t being double shifted with 2 set of AHL wingers most games and being counted on the single handedly win games

He got 9 points and the series wasn’t overly close.. let that sink in....

How does Bettman pressure an agent to get his client to sign long term

And is McDavid so incompetent that he does whatever his agent says if e did not want too....

This has Orange Julius written all over it

It's probably bias but McDavid doesn't seem like a deep thinker. Matthews seems to be smarter (I know they all have agents but still).

I dont know about that, its sounds a little 'Lizard-man-y' to me, especially considering that usually Bettman doesnt interfere that much with club-level affairs beyond press sound-bites, but either way McDavid's motivation for the contract is easily understandable.

He gets paid. Regardless of performance or injury or success, he gets paid. He is set for life.

What he does after that is up to him. Whether he plays it out or demands a trade or whatever, hes got his money.

Sure but McDavid’s agent is Bobby Orr who may have taken one too many cheap shots to the head from Pat Quinn.

I can’t even imagine how a good agent negotiates and suggest his client to sign that deal.

Why would Bettman pressure his marketable generational player to sign long term in Siberia? Makes no sense on any level.

What a great thread. Been reading it all day. Hilarious seeing them turn on Nurse, when 1 year ago he was a $7mil D in their minds.

TIL that the DRY line was the best line in hockey all season.

What a train wreck that thread is.

He stewed on that for over 60 hours, but yeah, "Such is life". No big deal. It is what it is. I'm already over it.
