Or the leaks were fake. I believe NOTHING that Edmonton sports media says.
They were pretty adamant that they weren't going to talk about the details of the negotiations. Only that they came to a mutually beneficial agreement that benefited both Connor and the Oilers. But of course they're going to say that anyway.

Reminds me of something...
Why does he remind me of Jeb Bush? Is it the awkwardness?

When is the arbitration deadline again?
At 5pm.
The deadline to file is 1 hour from now. Not sure the dates yet of the actual hearings/contract awarding, but it'll be end of July/early August.
I expect AGally will file. I just hope it doesn't actually get to arbitration. The relationship between AGally and the Habs is already hanging by a thread. The mud-slinging, ugly process of arbitration would likely be the nail in the coffin.
And I still believe it's possible BargainBin orchestrates a sign and trade with him.
I see he doesn't want to be stuck in Edmonton long-term.And come back with a bigger appreciation for Ontario 1 year later.

These contracts are insane. Marner and Matthews gonna bend us over.

12.5 over 8 is a steal IMO.
It really is.
Now, we need O-Dog to get a front office job with the Leafs so Matthews can break the 13m AAV mark.
Sure is. God day for the Oilers.
Nope. Haven't checked lately, but Alberta has led Canada in population growth for quite awhile with most coming from Ontario.
Unfortunately we can't seem to cure them of that awful Leaf disease. Alberta doctors have been trying to help those poor souls for 50 years now. There must be something in that Ontario water that caused permanent disability.
Maybe the mighty powers of the McDavid savior can cure them of that horrible affliction.

The good guy McDavid narrative writes itself. Everybody wins! Ontario kids, God love em.
Good for Connor, wish he got more, but the low hard cap/lack of endorsements/relatively low popularity makes hockey contracts look like chump change compared to the other leagues.
That being said the NBA is clearly demonstrating why a soft cap is meaningless

I mean, a big part of that is probably that IN those 7 years in the organization you start to love the team, the teammates and the fans and you BECOME an Oilers fan. Or whatever team you play for. Stockholm Syndrome.
Oilers to sign Smelly
Smelly already runs their social media accounts

Oilers to sign Smelly
Might as well be the catch phrase of hockey
Pettersson is moving from Timra to Vaxjo of the SHL. Good stuff. He'll be playing with his brother Emil and NHL great Ville Leino.
Dahlen is probably heading to Utica but could also join Pettersson in the SHL.
Also, Juolevi apparently added on 20 lbs while focusing on conditioning.
Any Canucks fans know of a way to catch the Top Prospects game tomorrow night?

I'm positive.
Positive Bergevin is ruining this team, hehe.
It's hard to be an optimist about this team considering they continue making the same mistakes year after year. If he keeps Galchenyuk I'll certainly feel better about the direction of the team, but after a good first impression, Bergevin has been taking one step forward, and two steps backwards with nearly every move he makes.
How the fuck does Sylvain Lefebvre keep his job? That almost pisses me off more than anything.
I think they're live-streaming it from their Facebook page
Leino was one of those players whom announcers couldn't help but say their full name every time. Always "Ville Leino" instead of just "Leino." The most noticeable and aggravating was of course Owen Nolan. There must be something about rhymes/alliteration that people can't resist.
Now *that's* a tradeable contract.
Wait, is this the contract that means you can't be traded for a year? No, right?
Only contracts from arbitration . So yes it can be traded.
Even if it's arbitration they'll get a decent contract on Galchenyuk. Now is probably the worst to time to trade him. You don't give up on Gally this early. Trading him now for the sake of shake up would definitely be one of those steps backward. I don't think there's any miracle offer out there that is going to give Montreal fair value considering the potential.
Ah cool thanks. I saw tweets about arbitration and had thought it maybe started, but I guess they just announced upcoming cases.
It's not my fault! NHLPA said he was going to arbitration right when the buzzer sounded lol
Uh oh... both palat and johnson went to arbitration
Yzerman is gonna be sweating

I don't think Galchenyuk will be on the Habs in 3 years. So enjoy it while you can
Have a feeling nylander is gonna wait to see how well he plays next season.
With how badly he destroyed the worlds, he could be hitting 100 points next season
Yes very. I'm actually relieved.
Why must you provoke us in this manner?
Dopey lives in an alternate reality, just ignore him. My point stands though. If he doesn't extend this summer I can see the Leafs playing him in less than favorable situations to keep his numbers in check.
