I mean, he's probably a 7.5 - 8 million per season player on the UFA market, I can't see the Oilers matching that number while trying to patch up the remaining holes in their lineup. He's done his time in Edmonton, why take a discount?

I worry about term. I would take him in that range but for no longer than 5 years. I expect when he hits the cliff, it will be dramatic.

5 years for him and Laine both to go with 4 more of Bjorkstrand would make me squishy inside.

McDavid has to be shaking his head wondering why he's sticking with a team that could be protecting Kassian and Archibald.

Probably a very good deal for it's first four years. Possibly a very bad one for the last 2-3.

Why did Edmonton sign him now and have to protect him? Seattle wasn’t going to grab him if he said he wouldn’t sign with them. Seems like typical Oilers.

Don't think the Oilers are worried about losing a depth player. Not exactly their strength. They probably could get by with protecting half what is currently allowed.

With the Oilers, it's not depth, but rather derpth

I don't think forward (or D or goalie) protection slots are at a premium in Edmonton. LOL.

McDavid
Drai
RNH

When you are protecting Kassian you have room to spare.

Seriously outside of McDavid, Draisaitl and RNH is there really a forward, if they lost would they even know? Not like any others play meaningful minutes anyway.
