In 2018-19, Erik Karlson signed an 8 year $92 million (11.5 ave) contract.
In 2019-20, Drew Doughty signed an 8 year $88 million (11 ave) contract.
In 2018-19, Jon Tavares signed a 7 year $77 million (11 ave) contract.
In 2018-19, Carey Price signed an 8 year $84 million (10.5 ave) contract.
In 2019-20, Tyler Seguin signed an 8 year $78.8 million (9.85 ave) conract.

I could keep going, but none of them maintained their level of play. All have tailed off significantly. It is unreasonable to believe that any player signing an 8 year deal at around 30 years old will not tail off significantly by the end of the contract.

I stopped looking around the 250th ranked team, but there is a single team from the past 10 years in the top 250 for PP goals scored in a season, the 2022-2023 Oilers with 89 for 79th place.

Your other point is accurate in the move towards showcasing the skill game and much more the reason for the scoring increase than any PP increase which goal totals don't support
A lot of those seasons are pre 2005-06.

I think what would be more impactful would be plotting on a graph - league wide - PP Goals / PP Attempts - PP Success Rate and overall Goals per Game atleast since post lockout.

Other than Gaudreau, it's probably the biggest news of the offseason. There are 296 posts about Jeff Marek who I've never heard of.

How have you never heard of Jeff Marek? Have you watched a hockey game on tv?

And in other news, the Pope is Catholic.

Of course these deals will fall off, everyone knows that. But that's the price of playing.

The alternative is trading him (and likely McDavid too) and starting all over again.

They were 1 game away from a stanley cup, but Connor McDavids are very few and far between.
It will be interesting to see what type of team is more successful going forward. A team like the Canes that have a ton of depth but no superstars, or a team like the Leafs and Oilers, where they are top loaded with a bunch of scrubs filling out the remaining roster.

She's American. I mean we know a lot of American personalities from networks because we're rabid hockey fans and see clips, stories and news from the states in our hockey browsing. But Americans would typically probably only see their own network stuff.

Yeah, exactly. I don't even have TV, just streaming. I personally don't find it interesting to watch TV unless there is an event occurring. It's easier to watch highlights online and skip the 40% ads and useless post hoc commentary. I get why they exist, it's nice to have on in a bar, but I never would sit down to watch that.

Yes, it was Rick Ball for most Flames games with Ryan Leslie hosting it. I know Shorthouse, Singh, Chris Cuthbert, Monster Truck, Bartlett. I grew to like Nickson on the Kings games. Does Jeff Marek broadcast any hockey games?

Gotta wonder if Drai is having buyers remorse when he signed that long tern deal with the Oil.

The raise doesn't kick in for a year and he already looks like ass out there.

Enjoy the coming years of an even older and slower Leon for much more money Oilers.

Will be funny if it doesn't even help them land the McDavid extension.

I don't care what Oilers fans think or not. This is my belief. You don't need to be an "Oilers fan" to think that McDavid and Draisaitl will average 100 points over the next 10 years. The only condition being that they play together during that time.
Odd this big Flames fans isnt celebrating the 3-0 start on CP

A whopping zero points from Drai tonight, and 1 shot on goal. Really earning that contract.

I think Yaxstaavaal, the demon who curses the most overpaid player in the NHL, has got tired of tormenting Huberdeau and found a new victim.

He could have gotten a ton from any team. Sure, one year less. But is that worth living in Shelbyville? Therein lies the remorse.

3 games would mean nothing in changing his mind on the contract.

It was clear he was considering only the money. That would not change.
