Leon had another 2 points last night. Up to 39 pts in 32 games which is a 100 pt pace. When is it OK to say that he's not overpaid? Leon is not doing it like Maroon did that one year where he cleaned up the garbage from McDavid, he is doing some INSANE things and is right there with McDavid play wise.

I actually agree with this. I think 29 gets a lot of unwarranted criticism here because of the way he plays. He is a methodical play maker - He doesn't look like he skates as hard as he can every second of every play. In Edmonton that's a recipe for a bulls eye on your back. I still think the comparison to a guy like Thornton is a good one - but Leon is a better goal scorer. Fantastic player and odds are only going to get better for the next few years.
I'm ok with his contract and I don't see it as a huge overpay for what he brings.
That said, I'm convinced the team butchered the signings of him and Mcdavid. If they would have signed 29 first they could have had him for ~7 and 97 for ~10.5. When they set the bar with McDavid first they gifted him the most obvious comparable in his own dressing room. 29 was never going to consider a salary that was half of what 97 got a month earlier.

And trading Hall and signing Lucic for $6MM a year provided another amazing comparable mismatch. Draisaitl is obviously world's more important to the team than Lucic, even in #27's best season as an Oiler.
If you had kept Hall there, then how much higher can Draisaitl be than him before it's uncomfortable?
I saw something on twitter talking about Chiarelli and how he's always a couple years ahead of the curve on salaries - so two years later, what he's paid doesn't look so bad, but it's always ugly at the start - and that his actions are inflationary and provide comparables in the league that drive the higher salaries across the board. Basically, he's terrible at cap management, because he's the easiest negotiator in the league.

If you are going to keep going back in time. Eberle should have only been making 4.5 mill. When he started his 6 mill contract which he signed in August 2012, he had a 76 pt season. Pretty big money 6 years. Ago. His points and goals declined from then on. He had 20 goals, 51 pts in his last year as an Oilers. That's not enough for 6 mill. This season he ha 6 goals, 13 pts in 30 games. That's a 16 goal, 36 pt pace. If he was making what he should have been making, that's 1.5 more to go to someone else. He might even be here. Same goes for Nuge. He was signed after a 19 goal, 56 pt season. The thinking is he would continue to go up from there. He managed to equal his points that first year but never got close since either grossly under performing or being a band aid. I would say this is the FIRST season he has legit so far earned every penny of his contract. He probably should be earning 1 - 1.5 mill less based on what he has done up until this season.
