This isn’t Horcoff bad but it’s too long. Is it guaranteed that he gets a suspension tonight now?

Horcoff got $4.1MM/season after posting 73 points and leading all forwards in playoff scoring. He got $6.5MM AAV after a season where he had 51 points in 53 games before getting injured. He was a centre who won well over 50% of his draws and played responsibly both ways. Zack, a right winger with a bit of a troubled past, just tied his career high of 28 points. This is worse than Horcoff.

I respectfully disagree. Comparing the numbers is not fair; it should be compared as a % of the total cap.

And from all accounts, McDavid is pretty fond of Kassian. Who knows what input, if any, he had in this.

He really liked Maroon too. Big fan of Hall, I'm told as well. I don't think McDavid gets consulted on a lot of these decisions and honestly he probably shouldn't be.

I think Horcoff's $4.1MM contract wasn't bad - it made sense based on what he did during it - it was probably even a bargain. I think his next contract was a mistake but I think the biggest issue with it was that the Oilers signed it after he'd suffered a major injury and before they could see how he'd come back from it. He never was fully the same player again.

He was the top centre on the team for the bulk of his time through both of those contracts, and he was a valuable powerplay performer and leader even in his last season with the team. Yakupov played his best during the time he played with Horcoff and I don't think that was a coincidence.

There's a strong argument that Horcoff would have been a #2C on many teams at that time, but with Kassian, I think he's a #3RW on many teams right now - which makes this a more significant overpay in my eyes (not that it's a particularly easy comparison for anyone to make).

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
