Why can't you Alberta boys show more love for each other

After reading a few of your posts this afternoon I am not offended by this comment.

I've read many of your posts and feel confident with my statement.

Cause we aren't like Jero and Iggy... we don't show other men love.

It was? (frank). This means I gotta change my strategy... Damn

So do you guys really think McDavid will be getting 14 million or what? That would simultaneously suck and blow hairy, misshapen donkey balls, until it exploded into a hellishly Javex-like smelling heap of spunk covered monkey sh1t.

Really?! And this is what you call a "homer". Hay Matt, you need to get off that high horse "I know everything and what I say is right" attitude of yours and face reality. I LIKE Eberle, but you know what? I like this deal more. Why?
Cap Space $20M
NHL Players under contract: 19, includes 11 forwards, 5 defensemen, 2 goaltenders
RFA contracts from 2016/17 NHL roster players: Draisatl, Kassian
UFA contracts from 2016/17 roster: Russell, Gryba, Pitlick, Desharnais, Hendricks

NEXT YEAR:
Cap limit unknown
Current roster RFAs at end of next season: Strome, Slepyshev, McDavid, Caggiula, Pakarainen, Nurse, Benning, Brossoit
Current roster UFAs at end of next season: Letestu, Maroon

And yet, with all of this, you are going to SLAM the Eberle deal? Why, because you don't see the OBVIOUS need to ensure we can pay our important and key pieces to proper contracts over the next 2 years (not that Eberle wasn't an important piece, because I believe he is and will do well on the Island). Hey, don't forget, Sekera is out until at least December, so who is going to fill HIS spot? Even if we sign Russell again, who is going to fill in for Andrei? If you suggest Benning, Nurse, Oesterle, Simpson, or even Betker, Jones, etc, then you don't follow this team closely enough.

Draisatl will command between $5.5 to $6.5M a year, and it will be worth every cent. McDavid, next year? Yeah, you're looking at a MAXIMUM payout for Connor.

So don't sit there, Mr. High and Mighty Righteous, and slam this deal. This was an AMAZING deal for Chiarelli and the Oilers, moving NECESSARY cap space, not just for the now but also for the future. And who knows? What if Eberle stumbles in New York, like Hall stumbled in New Jersey? What if we kept Eberle, and at the trade deadline could get nothing BUT a 3rd or 4th round pick for him?

This was a GOOD deal.

Why so salty brah?

Yeah, what happened to McDavid taking a discount to keep the team together?

As many have said over and over again, it's up to Connor. He has the power to choose: does he want money or a better chance at Cups? He'll make absurd bank off endorsements and signing bonuses regardless of his cap hit but it'll come down to what he wants.

I like turtles

It's one guy reporting on 'whispers' that he might be looking at 14mil. Take it with a huge grain of salt.

Matt is very short sighted about many things. You would think he'd have some confidence in Chia by now after this amazing turnaround season the Oil just had. Some people don't think big picture.

Agreed....we went through the same with Johnny and the "he wants 8 million" crap.

That being said, he's the best player in the game right now. You could argue 10 million is a discount.

I'd have to agree. Any less than 10mil is a godsend. I'm gonna guess he'll clock in around 11mil for 5 years.
