McDavid is taking $7M less what he's worth in order to win.. and giving Bowman a hand up.. lots of room to deal.. no room for lottery seekers.
|
This is the absolute key for me. The team can potentially acquire a player with a big contract, but if they're signing anyone - whether external or internal - then they should be pointing to what McDavid has done and say "Connor is taking a discount so we can win. What do you value? Max money or winning?" They should all be taking that little bit less so that we can get where we need to get.
And we better not go in to the playoffs with the same goalie tandem again...
|
It should also be a factor for existing players re-signing internally.. go for the market lottery jackpot.. or stay here and win.. the best player in hockey is taking a 35% cut in market value to win.. so.. are you a winner.. or a money chaser?
It will filter out the winners from losers.
With that said.. we'll see what Ekholm re-signs for .. and for how long.. in the next few days.
|
I will say - I hope that Ekholm's contract is declining. He's been a beast for us, but he's 35 now and dealt with a bunch of injury concerns last year. If he wants to be here (and I think he really does), then I'd like to see him agree to a lower number as his role should transition downwards over the next couple years.
|
That's what I'm hoping for.. that he values life in Oil Town both socially and professionally more.. than testing his market value.. which would be high.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!! (Thank you Lord!)
