RDOilerfan wrote on Thu, 05 July 2018 09:32 I see Jenner signed a 4 yr 15 mill deal with the Jackets. So a 3.75 mill per season average. He's 25. Jenner in 75 games this past year had 13 goals, 32 pts. The year before in 82 games he had 18 goals 34 pts. It's making me nervous for a Strome contract. Strome is going to be 25 next week. He in 82 games had 13 goals, 34 pts. In the previous year he had 13 goals, 30 pts in 69 games. So really similar points to Jenner. I personally think you are paying too much money for Strome if he is more than 3. Don't forget that Jenner scored 30 goals two years ago...yes, the last two years are more his average, but that 30 goal year can't be ignored.

Technically, it would be 3 years ago.

And Ryan Strome had a 50 point season once upon a time too.

I called this out as an issue when they first traded for Strome. The Oilers got no cost certainty beyond the year when Mcdavid was still on his ELC and therefore they didn't need (and as it turned out, didn't even use) the cap space.

So now they're going to be paying between $3-$4M for a guy that's going to score 30-ish points and doesn't PK or really contribute to the PP. This is not a rare player and they are not getting any kind of bargain for him. They essentially traded Eberle for nothing.

Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games

It really is amazing how many trades look below average in the moment and age even worse.
At a risk of being yet another poster branded as negative I actually have a form of sports fan PTSD every time my phone notifies me of a Score update that is Oiler related. I am at the point where it is more likely than not a deal that looks bad at first glance and in two years look seven worse.

You could go glass half-full on this..."Yes, it sucks that we made this terrible signing/trade/decision today, but at least I don't feel as bad about this as I probably will in two years time, so let's enjoy the now!"

Go full Carpe Diem

Ignore the past, it has no bearing on predicting the future.
Relish in the now, it could, and will, get worse.

Except that Plusone has been a nickname since well before I used it on OilFans I would change my user name here to embrace my new outlook.
