I quit being a full time fan after we drafted 5th in 2015. They put that new order rule in after the Oilers got McDavid. Who's the first team to get burnt by it ? Us.
For some context, if OEL was a free agent this summer, we would probably be one of the teams interested.
What kind of contract would OEL get if he was on the market today ?
You have to pay to get. OEL's contract is the pay on our end in this deal. 2 million retained isn't painful and the deal wouldn't have been done.
But people will forget this really fast. And will hate this contract with all of their heart in 6 months
The Canucks taking a big contract from the sun belt. This reminds me of Ballard and Booth. Hopefully this isn't the token boat anchor contract on the team. But everyone has them.
The last thing this team needs is more meat and potatoes in my books. Especially when the team who won the cup has almost no meat or potatoes.
But yeah Browser looks cheap only because it's FA day
