Yes, the Oilers were able to draft some super stars, but they still had to sign and retain them. They are also a small market and that's not much different from signing and retaining free agents

Mediocre management and mediocre owners are why we can't (and never) do anything. Edited July 2, 20241 yr by JCon
July 2, 20241 yr Author comment_707310 Monahan pretty much got the same contract Bryan Little did at his age. Outside of Little being faster, kinda the same player. Littles contract was fine, slight overpay but just a year or 2 too long. Edited July 2, 20241 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

And copp? i guess Scheifele hellebuyck morrissey Lowry don’t count here? Connor? Ehlers even. Ehlers and Draisaitl currently in the same boat. 1 year remaining until UfA. Oilers have retained mcdavid draisaitl an overpaid nurse and rnh. The rest were from trades pretty much. Pretty similar to the jets really except Winnipeg doesn’t have a generational talent on its roster.

July 4, 20241 yr Author comment_707476 Roslo signs with Carolina. They clearly see the playoff good in him. He might have finally found his place.
July 4, 20241 yr comment_707578 'Toronto signed defenseman Chris Tanev to a six-year contract worth $27 million after acquiring his rights from Dallas'. (AP) CT is 34 who doesn't come across to me as a freak of nature type athlete like Jagr or Chelios were in terms of producing after the usual best before date of a professional NHL'r. I want CT's agent in my camp please and thank you.
