McDavid at 8*15.97 so combined they're 29.97
Bouchard at 10M
Nurse is going to have to be moved at some point or need the cap to explode

Hell yeah! Fantastic signing..unfortunate that old man Holland left them with the Nurse albatross and Bouchard not locked in long term. I still cant decide who did a worse job - Holland or Chiarelli. But moving forward the main thing is that 29 is locked up and 97 will follow.
|
For all complaints on Holland, Chiarelli was definitely worse. Look no further than the wasted 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Happy that Draisaitl is signed, always wish it could be a little lower, but that's business. I don't see him as one that is going to regress in the immediate future. Crazy to think this is his 2nd 8 year contract with the Oilers, so plus the entry level 3 years he has committed to 19 years of his life being an Oiler. It's great to see and I hope McDavid follows suit.
|
Chia's stupid need to make moves just for the sake of making moves definitely hurt more. Sadly though, now 5 years of lost drafting with Holland will now be a pain for Bowman. Really need some prospects coming up as the new McDavid/Drai/Bouch deals load the cap. Gonna be really hard to have anything now, since we probably start trading our first round picks every deadline to try to win ASAP.
So crazy how many years of McDrai we wasted already with inept management. Even wasted a conn Smythe performance by a losing team forward, which is really unprecedented in the last bunch of decades. And got a D performance that could have been conn smythe worthy a lot of seasons.
Ugh. Still burns, that first game of the finals where we had to go back to Nurse/Ceci and it so predictably set us up for pain, terrible read from Nurse and Ceci 4 mins into game 1. Fix the D Bowman, lol.
|
What was the worst Chia move? Hall for Larson? Doesn't look that bad with hindsight..Reinhart? Holland had Athanaseau..
Chia locked up 97 and 29 to killer deals in their prime years. Drafted Bouchard..
I'm really not trying to praise chirelli here but the ball was on a tee for someone competent to knock it out of the park. Instead we got Holland who tripped over his shoelaces on the way to the plate.
|
His last year that if we didn't know better could be considered sabotage I think really sets him apart. Strome for Spooner? Trading for Brandon Manning, and making McDavid feel like he has to call his d-bag up and explain how he's totally cool with him joining the team (not long after Manning is in the AHL being suspended for racist remarks in a game). Paying Koskinen start money for 3 weeks of good play. Hitchcock hire was weird too.
Chia did draft reasonably well. Could have been even better if he didn't make some stupid trades early on. But Chia also would have likely traded Bouch before he broke out. Who knows, he could have even traded Drai if he kept stumbling along. Holland was like a mix of Chia and Tambo. But still missing an overall vision of how to fix the team. At least he developed some prospects and didn't trade them at rock bottom prices. But the speed of blowing cap space the second he had it was always going to stop him from actually creating a team that could actually dominate a regular season + playoffs.
