Great value contract. As long as COVID #2 doesn't happen. Very happy with this.
Rip 2026 July 1st (for the nhl anyways)
This free agency class is gonna stink because Bob, Kempe, Tuch, and the Bread Man are definitely signing extensions with The Cats, The Kings, Sabres, and The Rangers.
Bobby McMann will be the bell of the ball by the time July 1st gets here.
Edmonton made a mistake falling for the hype and drafting the McDavid kid. Here we are 10 years on, and the market has determined Eichel is worth $1m more per year.
McDavid will only influence some people IF Edmonton wins. They never will because they have no goalie atm.
Not as much of a discount because Mcdavid is the best player of all time but still great to have Jack staying in Vegas at that cap hit! Go Knights Go!
Zero chance Golden Knights don’t trade someone by next year playoffs 😂
Advantage VGK.
The amount of large-term and big-money signings in the NHL lately is crazy. Respect to McDavid for taking a team-friendly deal. As you said, the Oilers have to win a cup in the next three years given that contract. With the cap rising, that's a lot of cap space for them to use to bring in more depth – in my opinion, that and goaltending were what kept them back from winning a cup last year and the year before. I'm not a Golden Knights fan, but the Eichel deal seems fair given the rising cap. I actually expected the AAV to be higher after the Kaprizov deal on Minnesota, so it's a good deal for the team and the player.
Steve never heard centers are more valuable i guess.
McDavid is unique since he's the face of the NHL he probably makes a ton more money in endorsements than actual salary, which I think is the only reason he would take less than what he's worth.
any takers on jack eichel trade before the end of this contract?
Kaprizov deal looking worse and worse with each signing
I just made 13K in this signing because I bet on sports betting website the amount and years.
Thanks Gary BETman and the National sports betting league
I think Eichel took a discount at $13.5M as well. On the open market a good 2-way #1 center like him could have easily gotten as much as Kaprizov. Although, if he didn't choose Vegas he probably would have just gone to Boston.
Marner, Connors, Rantanen are all 1 great season from getting in that conversation
Connors CAN win the maurice Richard probably wont but has the skills to make it.
1 win and hes in that convo instantly
Over a mil a month… damn
Hasn't missed a beat is a gross understatement he came back better than ever
😮
Vegas aggressively competing with Edmonton for the West
As an oilers fan, I can absolutely compare any deal to McDavid’s. Just doesn’t mean it’s fair to.
What happened to dang-its bro?
Eichel had 94 points last year and with the addition of Marner they both should be around 100 points.
Eichel is worth more than McDavid. He has won more cups than McDavid.
These are facts.
McDavid is looking like more of a legend right now. Yes I know he will get paid ridiculously after these 3 years but everyone’s getting paid and McDavid was like nope I’ll take another discount
Conners gift to the oilers took away millions from Jack and the other top players. Conner, why don't you ask the owner to throw in 10 million out of his own money for the team, lol, never in a million years. All Conner did was take away money from the other stars, karill makes 5 million more than everyone else, does that sound right ????
Kaprizov is definitely behind (in no particular order), Kucherov, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Pastrnak and McDavid, but Kaprizov is a comfortable 6th or 7th (I'd have him with Matthews… if we include defensemen into the convo then I'd also put Makar over him, and maybe Quinn Hughes, maybe.
Pretty clear Eichel doesn't care about winning. What a loser
Gonna be another boring free agency frenzy next year. Are there any big names left?
We need to stop with this nonsense that Kaprizov is a top 5 player.
He isn't.
For one thing he's a winger which automatically makes him less valuable than a center. And secondly…..the dude is made of glass and can't stay on the ice, whereas the top 5 players are rarely ever injured.
He's an excellent player but he is not top 5
Jack Eichel is a proven playoff performer. Marner is not.
So many were worried about all of the guys in their last year… but lets face it.. most of the big names are now signed.. sometimes it's just that they don't want to travel just to negotiate the final details and wait until camp when they are there anyway.
Jack Eichel is not worth 1.5 million dollars more per year than Mitch Marner. I bet Marner is pissed, this is how locker rooms become divided. They are worth the same to me, It`s just some players are very greedy.
MacD has back door money ie. Bitcoin, Ethereum… you get my drift.
Honestly I expected Eichel to at least make 14 per.
EICHEL’s Name is on the STANLEY CUP !!! Marner Now has a chance to join him … 😎 just sayin’ 😎
