@herle_alex@TSNRyanRishaug Term doesn’t matter you needed to give him term to lower the aav you need to have the best possible line up for as cheap as possible the next 2 years. No one’s gonna care about Connor Murphy and a Jason Dicksons 3 years left in 28-29 if the Oilers lose McDavid.
@puckempire This deal really only matters for year 1 and 2. You dish out the extra 3 years to lower the AAV after year 2 no one will care if he makes too much money if McDavid is gone and the Oilers are irrelevant.
The Owen Sound Attack have been outscored 29-2 in the first 3 games of their #OHL series against the Flint Firebirds
Flints leading scorers:
Jacob Battaglia - 9 Points [#NYR]
Nathan Aspinall - 8 Points [#NYR]
Darian Anderson - 7 Points
Jimmy Lombardi - 6 Points [#GoKingsGo]
@qauckenbush17 Some of the Nurse issues were the two of them being together. Hopefully as Walman gets use to playing with Murphy his game starts to elevate.
@ABuffaloGuy@NHL_Watcher I’m not trying to discredit Mcleod at all great player is the better player right now. I’m saying that it’s not one of the worse moves by Oilers management during McDavid era so many more that are way worse than trading Mcleod.
@nic_lic06@NHL_Watcher But the Oilers are completely cash strapped. They made huge mistakes signing Skinner and Arvidsson over homegrown talent the offseason they moved Mcleod not saying it was a great move to move Mcleod but theirs definitely been a lot worse in the McDavid era.
@Buffalo_Smitty@NHL_Watcher Unfortunately when management signs guys like Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson the summer they lose Holloway, and Broberg choosing older guys over homegrown talent he had to be with him being in a contract year. Not saying it was the best of moves by management but like the post
@Zackmtravis@mark_copeland@NHL_Watcher I think Mcleod was the most expendable of the bunch for sure but management has definitely made some awful decisions over the last couple of years.
@Zackmtravis@mark_copeland@NHL_Watcher 100% that’s why I said it wasn’t a great take because other moves have effected this Oilers team so much more during the McDavid era.
