Funny forum we have. We don't even have a thread for Connor or Leon haha. Now we have a thread for both! Only bc I wanted to post this not soon to be forgotten goal by McDavid. His 60th, not surprisingly assisted by none other then Leon with his phenomenal passing. What a sequence it was! #beauty #weareblessed #signthesetwoforlife #wewantthecup GOG!!  |

At some point last offseason Leon was asked for predictions on the upcoming season. He had only one  |

While Connor is soon to join an elite club and reach 100 assists in a season that no one is talking about for some reason lol!!... I'll plop this nice article by Gregor about Leon here. Our two Superstars we never seem to talk enough about much on here, hence this unused thread is about them and neither has their own thread?! Bizarre haha. Anyway, great article! Some Neon Leon love: oilersnation.com/news/leon-draisaitl-the-nhls-best-combination-of-passer-and-shooter  |

Be careful what you wish for? By far the biggest omission in that love letter to Leon is his playoff stats. Respectfully, he has consistently outshined everyone in the league including McD when the real games get rough and tough (his ppg in playoffs is only behind Gretzky). It's a poor comparison of player styles, but if Drai leaves and McD stays here, my money would go on Drai lifting the cup before McD, not unlike Messier lifting a few more cups after the split with Wayne. I'd agree $12.5 is where I'd like his cap to be at, but the cap is set to finally make significant jumps and my guess is he may get slightly more than that, either here or elsewhere? However the % of the cap wont be any different from the other top 5 guys in the league and maybe he'll do 12.5M if its for 8yrs, knowing he's unlikely to be contributing nearly as much in those last 3 yrs or so? I wonder if oiler folks would be ok with that?

#beauty #weareblessed #signthesetwoforlife #wewantthecup GOG!! Really though we have threads on the more important players to this team, why would we bother with threads for a couple of plugs like Leon and Connor. 90% of us probably don't even know the numbers on their jerseys.

This right here. We likely won't be able to retain both Leon and Connor on this roster unless we start to see some measurable upward movement in the salary cap. If things stay the way they are, Leon will be moved, and we will be getting a hell of a package in return.

If things stay the way they are, Leon will be moved, and we will be getting a hell of a package in return. It could depend who the dealer is? We could get a whole lot of nothing?? If the old adage is true (and i think it is), the team who gets the best player wins the deal. So unless we're getting Mackinnon or maybe Bedard then we have to hope and prey we're another unicorn like Avs who actually won the Lindros deal? Best buds with mcD may also come into play if it precipitates him wanting to move? Now that would be a real hell of a haul wouldn't it?  Again the caveats are always: does he want to stay? and how much is too much?. cap is starting to accelerate but that means teams may be more inclined to offer him the moon and stars, we can only offer him potentially 1 star?

If things stay the way they are, Leon will be moved, and we will be getting a hell of a package in return. We knew this already, it's the Connor Brown bonus. The cap is going up, there will also be a new GM with a different philosophy. To Broncos comment. What's the package, that you'd be looking for to move Draisatl? 7 assets back, 8 assets back for Draisatl? What team has those assets, that are good to qualify enough of a return for your second best player, and a top 5 player in the league? |

Fail, as per usual. Like u said, everyone already knows this is Brown. I think a lot may hinge on these playoffs as for Leon's contract, and how he feels personally. It's not always about the money. I think with a rising cap, proper asset management, and young guns stepping up to replace bad contracts, we could 100% keep Connor and Leon.

The asterix was added because Perry will get a bonus if Oilers do well in playoffs, so that total might go up.

I'd like to push just rosey stuff up your butt, while you ignore everything I say that is good about the Oil, but reality sometimes bites.

Without stirring the pot, we have the team to do it but Skinner needs to be average these playoffs. Yes things can bite, let's see if his experience helps. Worry abut the rest later.

No need to push rosey stuff there. I $hit roses as is my man. Curious who u cheering for these playoffs? My guess Tkachuk vs Nix would be your ideal SCF? Am I right?

We're all aware of reality, this is the most Northern city you can play in, not high on 90% of players list to come play here. |
