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.

So you're saying that the Lowe/Tambelliini/MacTavish/Howson group was also bad at managing contracts and the cap?
That very same group that put together cap-maxed teams that consistently finished at the very bottom of the league?
Yes, I agree with that. The Oilers management - most of whom are still here - sucked then too. They didn't pay attention to easy to note things like shooting percentages when it came to Eberle, and they valued him the same as Hall - when clearly the two players had significantly different value...as they continue to today.
