    maybe (probably) im wrong, but isnt Connor UFA eligible after 7 years of NHL experience? he would have to sign a 4 year deal to take him to RFA status again. same with Leon. but i agree with the sentiment, sign them until they're RFA again then give them 8 year deals for literally whatever they want

    I could also be completely wrong but my thinking with the 6 year deals is that at Age 27 is the end of RFA status. Both extensions signed at age 20 so 26 is the absolute upper limit to how many years you'd put down to max out contract extensions within the RFA window.

    I think its like 6 years in the league to a max of 27 years old, but anyways its an interesting concept but personally think they should just lock up 8 years right away (esp. McDavid) I just feel like I would rather have the security now while the team is growing, hopefully by the time the 8 year deal is done your competing and he's been in Edmonton long enough to grow roots and want to stay.

    Connor and Leon will both be UFA´s in 5 years. Leon hits the UFA one year after minimum of 7 years because he didn´t reach the necessary numbers of games in his first nhl season.

    Lookin' good! I would make two changes:

    - McDavid should be signed for max term (8)
    - Benning should get at least three years, maybe more. By the time his contract comes up (summer 2018) I think he'll be worth 6 x $4.167, same as Klefbom.

    Alex, different rules for being a UFA,. But players that start in the NHL after the their draft are eligible in 7 years where they will be 25 years of age. So its ELC for 3 years, 2 years of RFA, 2 years of arbitration RFA in McDavids' case. If McDavid wants to be a UFA at age 25 he can decline long term extensions and settle for "little" money for next two years like Trouba did.

    I like the idea from an EDM point of view to sign them both until the year prior to UFA status. Still give them their money for sure, but this way you can either A.) guarantee they stick around longer even if there's a hypothetical TOR preference some people throw out for McDavid or B.) EDM get's MANY 1st round draft picks.

    A player becomes a UFA after the first of:
    - 7 accrued seasons
    - 27 years of age

    trouble with scenario(,a three years deal) is while mcdavid might get offer sheets for fourth years of rfa, he could reject all offer sheets and go to arbitration and get a one year deal. then the following year he would be a ufa. teams, and you suggested leafs wouldn't have to give up picks. come next summer the oilers will undoubtedly offer eight years. it's up to mcdavid to take the less secure route and go the way of being of being a ufa in four years if he wants. there is almost no in between.
