Comedy gold out of Edmonton

No salary retained, so that's a plus for Edmonton with McDavid and Draisaitl extensions looming.

I think at this juncture that was basically the whole idea.

Strome could still come good in a different environment. With that and Edmonton's salary needs it seems pretty fair.

Now some GM needs to submit an offer sheet for Leon Draisaitl - 7 years for 8 million per season will do nicely.

In all honestly, Calgary should.

If somehow they could get someone to take Brouwer it would be totally worth it.

4 years @ 4 shmill per season for Kris Russell.

/Just a guess

1. TSN’s Rishaug has talked recently about Russell getting a four-year deal in the range of $4 million per. I like Russell a lot, but not at that term at that price.
2. In the end, the bottom line about Russell — no matter how ardently some Oilers fans and bloggers will deny this fact — is he was a solid second-pairing dman on a team in close contention for the Stanley Cup

Kris Russell will re-sign with Edmonton Oilers, says NHL insider

@jstewismybastardson, my guess might be on the low side (lol)

It's too bad nobody in this league has the balls to do it.

Do you still have to have a first round pick to make an offer like that?

Asking for a friend.

Doesn't Vegas have the draft picks to get away with a 6 year 9.95 mil per year offer?

So good lol

The only bad thing about this signing is that it sets a bar for other teams trying to sing UFA defensemen (like Mike Stone and the Flames).

Not really. Edmonton premium plus Edmonton's desperation resulted in that figure.

But, all things considered, Stone is a pretty attractive option on the UFA market.
