[REPORT] Connor McDavid raises eyebrows answering Oilers extension talks

McD might want to be stingy and go somewhere else if the Coilers aren’t successful in the playoffs over the next couple years. Alberta tax rate is above average in comparison to many other teams so that might also factor in especially when he becomes the newest highest paid player in NHL history

For all the talk and jokes about how crappy a city Edmonton is, they generally don't have that hard of a time getting guys to stay. I do find it funny given how up their own ass Calgarians are about being "the better" city, yet have such a difficult time getting guys to stay.

Money can buy everything except a cup..

 

Petey may leave if we don't show him we have a chance- same with any superstar. May it McDavid/ Matthews.

 

Only reasons Sedins stuck around is because they were committed to us and it eventually bit us in the ass. Same way Crosby and Malkin are commited to the pens etc.

But Crosby and Malkin have won three Cups in Pittsburgh. The Sedins didn’t.

McJesus will go to TO in 3 years time when Tavares’ contract is up and TML will establish themselves as the newest NHL dynasty.  :bigblush:
 

Scary thing, as lean as it will be for that club this year, come next year Treliving will have mega cap space and only a fraction of the roster contracted. In time, if that was the plan, they realistically could price out EDM in the war for McDavid if they chose to do so. And fans think they are top heavy $ wise right now.

Oilers are close. They have elite talent at C- McDavid, Draisatl, Nuge, solid support wingers in Brown, Hyman, Kane. However, their bottom 6 is not nearly as deep/dangerous as say VGK or Dallas. Outside of Nurse and Ekholm, that D won't cut it either. Plus the cherry on top is their goaltending. I don't see them getting past VGK, Dallas or the LAK should they play them again in the 1st rnd. The following western teams all have better depth, well rounded teams.

 

Dallas, VGK, Colorado, LA.

 

Personally I like Dallas or Colorado to come out of the west this season. Loads of top end talent, depth and reliable, timely goaltending.
