mfitz804 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 In fairness, paying your 28 year old former 1OA only $5m AAV is already kind of painful, it means they probably failed to live up to their potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored the same amount of points this season as our "best player" Pavel Zacha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that qualifies as a 1OA not living up to potential. Not a bad player, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully those last few years aren't painful. He doesn't play a very physical game and he's been pretty good on injuries so far in his career. I think they'll get the miles out of him. 36 is rough but they can always Marian Hossa him those last 2 to 3 years with a sudden allergy if they have to. I wonder if he took less money to win with McDavid and Draisaitl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I was working at a CVS at the time, got there a few minutes before my shift and smoked a joint behind the building while scrolling through Oilers rage-tweets. That was a great day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 By the way the guy Bob Wischusin that’ll be working for espn is from Westfield. I grew up a block away from him. I think he eventually went to a private school though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just comes down into how much time and money ESPN decides to invest in it. Judging by how much they paid for the rights, I don't think they will put it on the back-burner like that had even back when they had games on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good football announcer- Wischusin does college football for ESPN, as well as being the Jets’ radio PBP guy. I’ve never heard him do hockey before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's equally about the flat cap and deals being down noticeably AAV wise at least. Probably why the long term on this one, I doubt the Oilers ideally were hoping for a 8 year deal. I think it was Friedman who wrote something recently that news deals were expected to be down about 11-12%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good time for teams to leverage the lower cap if they can extend young guys out for long term deals at these discounted AAV's. Especially knowing the cap will almost assuredly rise in a couple of years. Well it will at least help those teams that are up against the cap anyway. Not us necessarily.
