Could be the beginning of the Gretzky/Messier years where the Oil didn't just beat us on a regular basis, but they hammered us. Beat downs by 8, 9, 10, and 11 goals were not uncommon in the early eighties. This is starting to bring back so many bad memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyndall2 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So, what does Vancouver offer Bo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIC_CITY Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Exactly what I thought he would sign for. Fair for both parties. Edmonton is going to be scary for a long time. They're a top pairing defenseman away from being the best team in the league IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 McDavid - $12.5 million Draisaitl - $8.5 million Lucic - $6 million Total: $27 million tied up on 3 players Salary Cap: $75 mliion More than 1/3 of the Oilers cap space spend on 3 players starting 2018-2019 (if the cap doesn't go up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'll be shocked if there's no Cup in Edmonton during McDavid's career there... Well considering Edmonton will have $40 million tied up in McDavid, Draisaitl, Lucic, Russell, Larsson etc., it's gonna be awfully hard to provide the necessary depth for their stars.

billabong Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Oilers will move out rnh soon. Russell at 4m on the 3rd pair isn't going to help when talbot, nurse and pulujarvi need new deals. Especially talbot, he'll be 6m easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Something's got to give in the next season or so as they have 61mil committed to the cap for the 2018-19 season and several RFA'S coming due including Nurse. Anyone thinking the Coilers got this cap thing figured had better re-check their figures imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unproven still. Yes he his young, he potential is amazing, but 8 year commitment at that cap is rolling the dice to say the least.

I guess even hell has its perks It's really not so bad there. I was born and raised in Vancouver but I have also lived in Edmonton. It's not that cold and it has a nice green river valley with excellent biking and skiing trails right through the heart of the city. Cross country skiing at midnight in January right from my front doorstep was actually very pleasant (if you're a real Canadian). The people there are also quality people. And do you know what else might surprise a lot of people? Edmonton actually has a lot more culture and diversity than people give them credit for. People love to bash Edmonton as a place to live but it is really not as bad as people say. Besides, it's the only Canadian city that isn't anchored to the USA and is actually located in the great white north. GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Only way we can compete against EDM in the future is if our D is better, we play physical, and Demko becomes a top 10 Goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the emergence of Poolparty, they will move Drais to 2nd C in time. Just can't see them keeping RNH as their 3C. I don't think they'll have a hard time moving RNH.
