Our 4 highest paid forwards have 4 more goals than rookie forward. 1/3 of cap space towards 31 goals combined. That is why you are close to the bottom not because Dorsett was paid a million more or Sbisa .

True

But it's all the more reason to be smarter with the rest of the money you have.

Canada just got a gold if anyone cares

Dorsett, Sutter and Sbisa contracts were just cherries on top.

Of course the Sedins are overpaid but they signed those deals coming off 45 and 40 pt seasons in 48 games. Eriksson which was a terrible contact at the time was coming off 30 goal season and had scored 22 or more 6 out the 8 previous seasons.

What had Dorsett or Sbisa done in their careers?

Easy win tomorrow. Av's had 3 D go down to injuries against the Oilers.

Tanev comes off IR and is traded to the Flyers for both 1st or to the NYI for both 1st.

Ha! Easy win...this is the Canucks you're talking about right?

I don't share your same feelings . I don't mind 3.5 so I am not going to flip out over a half million more. I don't like 4 mil but again I will live with it.

He is a nightmare for the stats people but I like the way he clears the front of the net. I think Canucks are better with him in the line up instead of Pouliot or Hutton.

He will also be a tradable asset down the road

Just need the right amount of hate.

keep overpaying 1M here and there and it all adds up.

Death by a thousand cuts

Very few non-ELC players on this team are earning their cap hit, that's how you end up tanking by accident and spending to the cap and sucking.

The excuses are running out each season. This summer the Sedins are off the book so next year only Edler will be the remaining Gillis contract left and this year he's earning his $5M cap hit.

It’s amusing that the Oilers were praised last year for developing a balanced team with grit for the playoffs and now they are rediculed.

I think EG looks good with Edler so I will wait longer. Same as all of a sudden when Burrows was a missing link for the Sedins.

Wonder if JB has inquired about Hoffman.

big fan of his, but I don't think it makes sense. He'll be 29 later this year.

I think Benning sees next year as Edler Tanev EG OJ Stecher MDZZzzzzzzz.

I think he is happy with that

he got praise for surrounding Mcd with the "right players"


the smarter oilers fans knew it wasn't true, their pom pom fans fell for it.
