Nope, not even close - except for maybe Edmonton or Toronto.

Not sure.

Bouchard @ 11m and the cap going to 92m MAYBE....that leaves about 5-6 slots to fill at 900k each.

Unless they find a sucker to take Kane or Nurse...that's going to be tough to compete for the cup.

That doesn't even take in consideration when McDavid's contract is up in two years, starting 16m per?

Not worth $10M either. $9.9M is Ok though...........it is Edmonton, and he is better than Nurse.

In a turn of poetic justice. All the media/fan favorite teams will overpay for guys who have not won anything and stretch themselves too thin.

With the cap jumping next year and likely next, Tampa will be buyers with their cost control core and remain a cup contender for 3 to 5 more years.

No team was hurt more by success and the Covid cap crunch, stripping away valuable depth.

Now they are in a position to reload and add pieces.

I know the media hates them, which makes me like it even more.

Oilers have hamstrung themselves with Bouchard the exact same way they hamstrung themselves with Nurse. People call this team inconsistent, but they're not looking from the right angle.

I could also get 50 assists by simply dropping the puck back to McDavid at the blueline on the PP.
Bouchard is THE most overrated player in the NHL.

An 82 point season gets you paid.

He needs to step it up this season though if he thinks he is in that 8 figure salary range,
