I didn't think any defenseman was worth 75% of McDavid's salary, but now there's like 20 of them.

I don't know what's worse; this or the Seth Jones contract?

This is probably the worst contract in the entire league.

This is what the Canadien division did to Edmonton.

Oilers have actually had the worst two GMs of my lifetime basically back-to-back. Imagine being an Oilers fan and feeling a gut punch every time news breaks

Oh no... LOL.

At the start of the offseason Edmonton had great potential. Now they have a sack of overpaid contracts and 35+ year olds on multi year contracts.

This contract is an overpay AND they gave him 8 years.

But that day ain't today.

1 good year in what people called an easy division and you make over 9mill

Holland moment

According to charts should have made at most 8mill and even that was considered overpaying

Its a math formula in itself

North Division + Mcdavid x Holland = 9.25mill

$9,200,000 x 8 years = 36 year old Nurse
$5,600,000 x 2 years = 40 year old Keith
$4,500,000 x 3 years = 34 year old Barrie
$3,300,000 x 4 years = 32 year old Ceci

$5,500,000 x 7 years = 38 year old Hyman
$5,100,000 x 8 years = 38 year old Nugent
$3,200,000 x 3 years = 34 year old Kassian
$2,200,000 x 2 years = 42 year old Smith
------------------------------
$38,600,000

Why is Holland sacrificing the future for a core that isn't good enough to help McDavid win today?

I guess because he wants to prevent a JT from happening lul. Still not a smart way of doing it lul

If you told me Holland was secretly trying to sabotage the Oilers I'd believe it.

Nurse is worth 5 mill x 5 at best - Holland has built arguably the worst D core in the league , and one of the most expensive ones as well. He should have sold high on Nurse and went with:

Mccabe-Bear
Kulikov-Bouchard

Much better top 4 than what they have now.

I think he forgot he's in Canada and doesn't need to sell his house to see a Nurse.

Nurse is a great D, however he’s not worth 9mil, about market value though ( he can thank Seth Jones ) and of course Ken Holland would never just give a fair deal

Edmonton now have 7M of capspace left for next year with only 15 roster players signed.

They wont have depth anytime soon..

What a horrible signing.
