..The issue becomes next season when he’s a 9.25 cap hit for the inconsistency he has brought throughout his career. The issue is him having an inflated salary worsens the team. Sure, you get to keep Darnell Nurse. But you lose a guy like JP, Yamamoto or Kane. Yes, not getting retention on Keith was a brutal mistake and the oilers are going to feel that pain next year still. But guess what, it’s off the books after that. The Oilers will feel the sting of Nurse’ 9.25 cap hit a lot longer than the pinch of Keith’s 5.5.
One more thing. At any point during Keith’s contract where he’s been a 5.5m cap hit, has he, in your view, earned that? Been worthy of a 5.5 cap hit? It came into effect in 2010 btw.

That's exactly right. Its not the extra 1.5M Nurse gets.. its the 1.5M you don't have to keep good players and turn the team into a contender.
The problem is that salary is super high, and his game is too inconsistent, he makes way too many Grade A mistakes that loses games.. he's not elite defensively.. and not elite offensively..
He sold himself to the Oilers as an elite player, which deserved elite money.. but hasn't really played at an elite level.. IMO he deserves the criticism he gets.. He squeezed out every last dollar he could out of the Oilers. McDavid took a contract below his market value so he could win. Nurse did not.
|
It appears that 9M plus is no longer elite status for UFA’s or approaching to UFA. Would 5 more years at 7.575M for a 32 year old Spurgeon be a better deal? What’s Morgan Reilly going to sign for?
Almost all of the decent Dman contracts were teams who gambled and bought long-term over taking the cheaper bridge deal. Very few contract comparables out there at the 6.5M-7.M range that people want. Seems like a position of overpay.
Team wants cap flexibility. Stop overpaying bottom 6 players, 5-7 dmen, aging out veterans, and mediocre goalies. Win a deal where we move out money for picks.
|
I would argue to arguably paying a career 2-4 dman number 1 money solely bc he is your de facto number 1. A position that was held by a 4.2ish cap hit in Klefbom who was infinitely more consistent than Darnell has ever been.
