Mr.Canuckrazy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 l0l I'm guessing around 5 million? Congrats to both parties either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wow Edmonton is going to be in some serious cap trouble soon. In a couple of seasons time, they'll have 30M tied up in just 7 players, and will still need to sign RNH, Yakupov, Hemsky, Joensuu, Schultz and Dubynk who will all ask for raises, not to mention all their depth guys. Gagne at just under 5M is a joke, hopefully for them they can still fit their true stars in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Toast Mafia Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Overpaid for a guy who has never hit 20 goals or 50 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthecanucksfan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Eww, id pay him 3M TOPS, on like a 2 year deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocklovich Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 A bit of an overpayment but I dont think the oilers had any choice. Either pay him this or lose a 2nd line c and with all the high picks they have accumulated I doubt they could spin it to the fan base that losing him will make a non playoff team better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 He's making 200k less than Kesler.. oh boy. Overpayment, but it's not as if the Oilers had many alternatives. Oh well, I'm not about to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sorry Gagner is not worth the 5m per season range....wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangosteens Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think this was the best deal Edmonton could have hoped for. He was a UFA after this season and is only 24 years old. Still don't think their mix is right. You would have to think that Mac T is still looking to make some moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hemsky is a must trade now..... Hall-rnh-eberle Perron-gagner-yakupov Yak, rnh and Shultz haven't gotten their big money yet so edm best be careful...and they also over paid for gordon so they have 7.8m playing in their 2nd and 3rd line center spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Bieksa is aging and will take less money on his next contract The Sedins are aging and will take less money on their next contract. We will possibly save around $3 million between those 3 contracts with the cap going up. Edmonton on the other hand will have to re-sign their stars to the same or better contracts. There is no possible way they can afford Yakupov, Dubnyk Schultz, Hopkins, let alone find and sign that true top 2 they need or even fill out their top 4. Less cap space than Vancouver and paid Gordon $3 million a year to play 4th line duties. Again that awkward moment when Vancouver has more cap space and more future flexibility than the Oilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greetingsfrombrazil Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The Oilers are in serious trouble. $4.8M is just way too much. They will have to do some crazy moves when the contracts of RNH and Yakupov are due to extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
