Probably pretty smart of McLeod actually holding out for the one-way. Sure, he's a lock to make the top 9 with the Oilers. But since they do have cap issues and if they did make a trade that included McLeod he would find himself playing in the AHL on 31 other teams.

Or maybe he's an even bigger genius, now he can intentionally play like #### and make 800K playing in Bakersfield instead of Edmonton.

Guess this, will make the day for oiler fans claiming how many players take discounts, just to be in the presence of mcDoofus.

Read this, figured I'd go check out HF.
Literally the first post:

Huge steal! It’s nice to see how many players are signing discounts to play here instead of the days of having to overpay

So this contract puts them what, a little over a million over the cap even if Kelblom and Old Man Smith are on LTIR? Still need to bridge a pretty big gap considering they still don't have an actual full roster...

A lot?

I mean, I guess it's newsworthy in that the Oilers aren't in the news for:
  • signing and then resigning a wife-beating, gamblaholic degenerate (allegedly)
  • giving a PTO to a rapist (allegedly)
  • having a chairman who oversaw a tenure of Hockey Canada's most prolific misogynistic eras (allegedly)
  • having an owner accused of casting couch-esque shenanigans (allegedly)
  • a captain who basically shrugs his shoulders at all of the above

He would have gotten a 2 year deal but that big fat zero in the rapes stat line is hard to ignore

They have a captain who says legendary things like “Let’s Go… play basketball… at my place… in black and white.”

Actually, I think I've figured out that court in the McMansion. It's for playing Connorball.

It's kind of like making trick shots in pool. You have to bank the ball off the floor, the ridiculously low ceiling, and at least one wall before it goes in the basket. Bonus points if you score while drunk, which everyone will be because that house has the ambience of an accountant's funeral.
