14 forwards have played with McDavid and only two have returned with possession %s below 50: Mike Cammalleri at 49.4% and Drake Caggiula at 40.1%. His horribleness is SO pronounced that he not only negates the McDavid effect- he counters it with a double hit of suck. Now imagine a professional coach that continues to pair those two together on a semi-regular basis and still being employed...

You’ve changed your avi. Does such a change imply that you are no longer “concerned”?

If the Oil qualify him, yes. But they don't have to to still be able to come to terms. If Strome believes he'll get more than 6 mil over 3 years on the open market, he's welcome to pursue that route but otherwise he'd have a degree of security in signing a 3 year deal that he'd otherwise not have.

Except that Chiarelli traded Eberle for him. You really think he will risk losing him for nothing?

To say it isn't a terrible trade is beyond dumb.

Nicholson wont do squat... it's still an old boys club evident by having Gretzky, Messier and Coffey around.

You watch we'll have Messier as GM, Gretzky and Coffey as coaches.

Of course, but is losing the only piece he got back for Eberle righting his mistake? Unless he really wants to stay in Edmonton, why would he agree to less? If he goes to FA somebody will give him 3.

Taylor Hall on a 19 game pt streak. He would have looked good beside Mcdavid.

Actually no he wouldn’t. They both like to carry the puck. Hall and Drai worked great together. In fact Drai had better numbers with Hall than he does with McDavid.

But thanks for coming in and pointing out what we all already know.

Along with Keith Gretzky and anybody else associated with the old boys club and that includes Joey Moss.

I wonder what the new Seattle team will be called... and wonder if they'll make the playoffs before Edmonton does.

Only year where we will be tight against the cap is next year. We wouldn't be that in that situation in the first place if it weren't for the Russell signing. After that year, we'll be fine.
Even if we aren't, Sekera becomes trade-eligible by then.

How about the Draisaitl contract? Pretty sure that didn't provide any cap relief either

Who? Who would give 3 mil per year for a ~30 point, currently one-dimensional player?

Draisaitl's contract is what you pay a 22 year old center who scores at near a ppg pace.
