Connor Murphy 3.85
Michael Stone 3.5
Adam Mcquiad 2.7

Good comparables to EG. Murphy and Stone are newer contracts. Mcquaid in his 3rd of 4.

Heck MDZ is probably a comparable contract. Just the way the players are paid now. Player salaries go up every season with the cap.

For sure. But again, I bet he’s looking for 4.5M long term at least, not a penny less.

And just because other teams are willing to a player a certain dollar amount, doesn’t mean it’s a good contract. I bet other teams offered Eriksson long term deals as well.

Fine

I hope the Sedins get 2 year extensions. Edler extension for 3 years.

While you’re at it, bring back Hansen for 3yrs. We need more vets to mentor the kids.

I can't remember, nor do i care to look for it, which page it was on about FA wanting JV and people talking he wouldn't meddle.
Don't forget than in 2012 Oilers ownership stepped in and told the GM at the time that they wanted to draft Nail and forced it. Who is to say that FA did not mention to JB he wanted a local boy drafted(PR reasons) and wanted the best one available?
If your boss hires you to do a job, but tells you he wants something specific done, even though your the expert, you (frank)ing do his way.

Remember when Codes mentioning about how analytics was saying how he's a good top 4 guy? Where are those analytics guys now?

Not sure what they were back then but the ones I like to look at say he’s trash right now.

Bad numbers despite playing easy minutes.

No idea why Hutton is lumped in with him.

When will we see that upside? Is there a secret code Green has to press on his xbox controller?

Up Up Down Down B A B A Select Start

(Gives EG 99 in all stats and once per game can activate Godmode for one shift where he can completely destroy all players on the opposing team including the goalie)

Overall he’s way better, people get caught up in false narratives just because both are young puck moving dman and want to put them in the same group. He makes some more glaring mistakes and is a work in progress, but he has a much higher % of good shifts than DP.

Hutton’s no saviour, but lumping in a decent bottom pairing NHL dman with an AHL’er is dumb

The boss analogy doesn't work, Aquaman is an owner not a boss. Two very different things.

A boss in theory knows how to do many of the jobs his employees do. An owner is just the money and hires a boss to get the results he wants.

Sometimes, mostly small business an owner and boss are the same person....not in hockey.

Tom Gaglardi sits on on many of the meetings on the team he owns, at least according to the interview he did on hometown hockey a few weeks ago.
