Don't worry, Pickard rewarded the team for their faith in him with the all-important pre-season shutout over Winnipeg. We're in good hands now.

Josh Brown already earned his salary for year 2/3 of his deal with a fight tonight.
Pickard is just gonna do his thing. Not a huge talent, but he will just grind along giving average backup goalie performances, and here and there put in great efforts. I worry much more about the other guy.

Knob agrees that Brown’s work is done for the year then! See you next season Josh!

McTavish just signed in the duck swamp for 6 x $7M .. not 8 years.. don't understand why he wouldn't max out for the last time he'll be able to do it.. likely betting he'll be making more in 6 years.. and be injury free.. maybe, maybe not

Kaprizov stopped waiting for McDavid and set the new bar himself
8 years, $17M AAV
Insane. Drai a bargain already. For McDavid, easy to argue that even on a short deal he should be higher AAV than Kaprizov. If this deal is gonna be used in negotiations, it’s no help to the Oilers.

McD could ask for the max x 8 and he'd get it.. but unlike Kiprisov he wants to win Stanley..
Kiprisov did the right thing.. he used the limited time offer of max 8 years while he had it.. hope McD does the same for whatever amount.. trade whoever is required to fit his contract in the team cap..

Lol what an awful contract from the Wild. Injury riddled and a career high 108 points (he's 28 years old). Never scored 50 goals and playoff non factor. The Wild have lots of room for now but I imagine within a year or so they'll be pining for the Parise and Sutter contracts days.
Meanwhile the Draisaitl contract is an absolute steal of a deal already and it hasn't even started yet. Imagine 5 years from now how good that number is going to look. In fact the thing that is going to allow the Oilers to stay competitive for a long time (barring them Oilering themselves) is the amount of money that 29 left on the table. Let's see if Mcdavid has the same priorities. Another week until the seasons starts. Tick tock.
