And how did this combat anything that I said? I never said he outproduces Girgs, but he got 8th in Selke votes and is elite in his own end. The cap situation is different, Col has enough room due to McKinnon being the second best player in the league at 6M, while tons of talent on ELC deals that contribute more. Girgs also got 3 years to Vals 2, when I believe McKinnon is due for a 13M contract. Basically they have the offensive firepower in their middle six we only can dream of, and having Nichushkin at that salary doesn't hurt them. I'm not a Girgs hurts the Sabres guy, but it's a completely different scenario. You ask, I answered.

did ya happen to notice the pp time?
- Michael Pachla


Neither should realistically see the PP.

Also have to consider that Val is younger and did perform much better goal wise since returning from the KHL.

I would take Val instead of Girgs. Why? it's only 2 years vs 3.

Fun fact.
Dominik Kahun and Tobias Reider have the same amount of goals for the Edmonton Oilers.

Fun fact 2:

Buffalo offered him a 2 year deal at 2.8m before UFA. He wanted over $2m per year. He signed for 975k. Misjudged market

Just comparing them because of the deals? Feels like you're comparing an all-around better 25-30 point guy with a 15-20 point guy. Normally, you'd assume at least a million dollar difference between them.

This is completely wrong. Firstly, he got 32 points, good for 8th. Secondly, Draisatl got 1 point, and didn't win but Sean Couturier did with 1,424 points.

You aren't talking about the Selke, you are taking about the Art Ross Trophy I believe

Fun fact: Dominik Kahun and Tobias Reider have the same amount of penalty kills for the Edmonton Oilers

Another fun fact with Canada's high tax rate Dominik Kahun will make close to or not much more than Tobias Reider.

Maybe he wanted to go to EDM to play with Leon, whom he had previously put up 238 points with in 30 some odd games.

And if he doesn't play with Leon he gets to play with McDavid.

hes banking on himself getting a 4 mil contract next year after he puts up monster numebrs with those two.

- ImThatGuy



Ok 👍

Maybe it was the only offer in the nhl ?

Killing it Michael.

Good to see some reasoning in regards to girgs.

The deal is done, we secured a key ufa free agent for the first time in years.

i just made a comparison to valeri nichuskin who was signed by a gm in joe sakic who's considered one of the best in the business right now...

they were signed to the same type contracts for the same term at about the same time and have produced the exact same goals/game

what's the difference between those two players?

- Michael Pachla



Great comparison. 👍

Perfect 😉

It's not a coincidence the same few people here who have stuck up for everything the Pegula's do, will back them when their mickey mouse GM makes simple roster mistakes.

If Krueger didn't coach the Oilers, and Adyms didn't play for the 2006 Canes, I'm petrified as to where this team would be after the draft they had

Did someone reply to me and claim that Kahun is a PKer and especially has done so for the Oilers? I think that is someone I do not recognize but he cannot stay away from me, I'm touched, I guess.
