I dont even want to imagine want McDavid will command in two years. 20+?
This is why signing Darnell Nurse to that massive contract was the most bone headed decision in Holland’s tenure. Made it impossible to keep Draisaitl and McDavid on the same team.
I know it's a bit of a ridiculous thought. What about a line consisting of Draisital and J.J. Peterka on a line in Buffalo
He's going to Florida or vages
Been a Canadiens fan forever , always had a wishlist of great players, at times in my mind money no object but as good as Draisiaitl is not 15 mil$ worth.
One team could pull a Monahan type of contract to help the Oilers resign Drasaitl
Bruins just so happen to have plenty of cap space but idk that’s pricey
Habs are not paying $15M for Leon, forget about it. Useless post
He ain’t getting more than matthews
15 million when he’s gonna be 30 or almost 30 is insane. That will handicap any team that signs him.
Not the first time, 8 yrs ago the ask on Subban was Drai, Nurse and Puljujarvi back in 2016.
If he hits the UFA market, he'll most like try to sign in one of the tax free states
Arizona. Get.the superstar they need to fill those college arenas
I think it's more likely that he comes in around the $12.5m range. Not that he isn't worth $15m per year, but you also need to look at what teams can and will be able to afford that cap hit. He will not go to a place where there is no chance to win a cup. He's a star player. So places like Montreal, Ottawa, San Jose, Anaheim, or Arizona are just out of the question. The thing is, those are the teams with available cap space. I think it also has a lot to do with what McDavid is looking at doing. Those two are pretty much joined at the hip.
I think a more likely situation is that Drai signs a 1 year extension, for a little bit less money than 15 million and then let the chips fall where they may.
I think he takes a 10m dollar contract to stick with MacD…
He’s worth it
lol why would he leave a team he’s playing with the best player on the planet on one of the best teams, they’ll do anything to keep him and Ottawa and Montreal currently don’t look close to winning.
The Only way Senators and Montreal Canadians will be asking for a huge retain which Edmonton Oilers doesn't want to do
Calling $8.5million "underpaid"….. that's hilarious.. almost as funny as the $15mil idea.
15 Million just doesn't fit what the Habs are building, you got Suzuki under 8 and your gonna give Drai almost double that? I don't think so
You don't pay for past performance
I got a better trade He can stay in Edmonton, Willie Nylander and JT can go to Calgary, McDavid can come home to Toronto and Oilers can have MacKenzie Weegar, Kadri & Markstrom 🤔😜🤪🤪
It doesnt matter. No cups No conferences.
Easy to forget.
Its 15 because either they move him to a contender or he stays and never wins a cup but you can be sure hes gonna get his bag if thats the case
Draisaitl is not going to Montreal or Ottawa. The tax rate in those cities is insane! He'll go for a lower cap hit in a no state tax city and net more!
NHL in its slow season for news. Need to keep Ottawa and Montreal fans engaged somehow.
a contract like that would send us back lightyears. habs better not touch this
But he will stay in edmonton
Here's what we want in return if we trade Drai to following teams. OTTAWA – Tkachuk, + + + MONTREAL- Guhle, Hudson + + LA KIngs : Byfield + + Kraken : Wright, Beniers +
Your crazy, mcdavid crosby ect don make 15 million forget it lol you wouldn't be a good GM 😂
thanks but no thanks .
The Habs won't be re-signing Armia, Dvorak or Savard… The Habs will most likely be relying on players still in their entry level contracts on Defense with the exception of one or two players, they will likely try and move on from Matheson and his contract, And likely try and trade Gally and Anderson's contracts if they can. if they HAD too for some reason they might Buyout those two or trade picks with retention just to get them off the books. they can absolutely afford Leon.
that said…
Kent Hughes made it clear he's not interested in having "super stars" that leave him in a position to have no cap like Edmonton.. he literally used them as an example of what not to do.
I don't see a world where Edmonton doesn't have McDavid and Draisaitl… whatever Cap gymnastics need to be made to keep them together I'm sure the GM will make it happen.
No way he is worth that much
