Something no one is talking about is that he gets paid 16.25 million dollars this year. That’s his market value right now. He gets paid less later for the 14 mill cap hit. He could have demanded a 16mill cap hit. While all us oilers fan wish it was lower this is not a bad deal. And he has proven he is worth it. He played in the cup final with a broken rip and multiple broken fingers. He could barely shoot. He also played with a high ankle sprain in another run. And still puts up playoff numbers better than his regular season production. Edit also the cap is going up. Matthew’s was being paid a higher percentage of the cap when he signed his deal than this drai deal.

McDavid just has gamebreaking speed and stick handling that puts him over the edge as the best talent in the game. I defender his first contract before he broke out, and he made me look smart. But I never thought he'd be THIS good. It sucks, cause I am a Canucks fan. Watching him and McDavid torch my team is deflating.

Leon has been a monster who Western teams and fans know he almost never plays with McD except on the PP and at opportune/critical moments of a game. Unfortunately, the East still believes he exclusively plays on McDs wing... which is why he's (overall) underrated. Leon is arguably the player with the highest hockey IQ while McD can play (with a high efficiency) at speeds no one else can. Leon's known as the German Gretzky for a reason.

This is just total nonsense. As a canuck fan, as we were spanking you all season long, your coaches CONSTANTLY threw them out together in ALL situations because nobody else on the team was doing anything. Even in the playoffs when the games were close you had to load up to get anything done. It was total desperation against a team that was far more structured and even then it didn't really work. The only games the Oil actually controlled properly and looked like they deserved to win (and to their credit, they did it at the right time) were, unfortunately for the canucks, games 6 and 7. And in those games you rode the McD, Dri train too.

As an Oilers fan, I've seen tons of discourse on us being the next Leafs when it comes to paying our top guys a premium price and tying the majority of our cap into a few players. My rebuttal to this - I think what a lot of hockey fans fail to realize is that Toronto signed their guys with the expectation that the cap was going to rise exponentially. Obviously, COVID messed that up. Drai is worth every penny and I do think that he left some money on the table that he could've gotten on the open market. Obviously, this doesn't excuse the Oilers from mailing it in when it comes to drafting and developing (easily my biggest gripe of the Holland regime). If anything, the Oilers organization has to grind like never before to find affordable ELC's (the Savoie trade this summer is a great start) and diamonds in the rough that can perform above their paygrade.

As a canuck fan, I do enjoy the oilers losing, but I'm also not a biased hockey fan. At that level, teams simply have to pay players like this, this kind of money. The real problem is fan perception. NHL fans are simply still living 20 to 30 years in the past with their expectations about how things work. They believe in out dated concepts like "draft and develop" and think that long term "dynasty" type success is what teams should be shooting for. The cap changed all that and GM's simply don't think that way anymore. Teams are managed on almost a single season basis now, unless you're a bottom feeder like SJ or the Hawks. Once teams have their "core" 3 to 5 "talents", that's when (almost) everything else gets thrown out the window and you simply try to win a cup by any means necessary. Fill spots with character "cheap" guys in hopes to get the right chemistry. You worry about other stuff after you've won the cup. The Oil and the Canucks are the perfect examples of these effects. With the Oil (like the leafs) you have hyper talent taking up the majority which leads to depth problems. With the Canucks, you have great, but not hyper (aside from Hughes...man we lucked out with his contract) talent, so there is more there to sign better depth. Then the battle becomes "can my more balanced team beat your top loaded team". And that ends up being almost equal on any given night too. (this is where psychology comes into play) There really aren't many "favorites" anymore. Any of the top 10 to 15 teams can beat any of the others. That's why it's totally correct to pay Drai this kind of money. Yes, the end of the contract will probably be atrocious for the Oilers, much like the Miller deal will probably be a problem for the canucks. It doesn't matter. For GM's with an average lifespan of 5 or so years they DON'T care. It will be someone elses problem. And if your team wins a cup then you'll get a decade of good will to hold you over until the next core. Pretty sure most Hawks fans are STILL fairly content because they won a couple in their window. This is simply how the NHL works now. It IS the system. Whining about "over market value" or "under market value" or cap hit....it's all missing the point. Not seeing the forest etc...

Forsberg was carried by Sakic, Hull would have been a 20 goal scorer without Oates etc etc etc. As mentioned in the video Drai can score from impossible angles like no one else, McDavid is just as much the beneficiary of playing with the Deutschland dangler.

I'm a Canucks fan. He deserves this money. I unironically believe he's the 2nd best center in the league right now behind McDavid. Unlike other stars who disappear during the playoffs after a productive regular season, Draisaitl consistently consistently performs in the playoffs. The 2024 team had a not so good defence which is putting it mildly. Defence wins championships and the fact that Draisaitl and McDavid almost willed them to a championship is nothing short of insanity. They also started off the season with a horrific losing streak which included that loss to the San Jose Sharks who had 1 win after suffering two back to back losses with 10 goals against the Canucks and Penguins. They were ridiculed another this loss. The Oilers looked completely screwed and a lot of people were talking about McDavid saying "it's a cup or bust", mocking him. Draisaitl and McDavid are the real deal and they're a duo that is unstoppable from anything except bad management, which the Oilers have had for decades. Peter Chiarelli is a hockey terrorist and the damage done to the Oilers is absurd and the fact that they just barely lost in game 7 of the SCF means they should have at least one cup already if they had league average management. The amount of dead cap space due to GM ineptitude is ridiculous. If the Oilers had gotten a slightly above average GM, they could have created another dynasty.

Great video. If Draisaitl would have wanted to give some discount, it would have been great. He could have asked to match Matthews and make him the best paid player of the league for next year. So he should have gone 13,3m aav to allow another vet. min player on the roster, also allowing MCD to sign for 14m aav after next year. The fact is, that Drai was underpaid for at least 6 of his 8 year contract, as he has been on one of the best contracts in the league. Drai for 8,5m cap hit - everyone wanted that on his team. Oilers have failed to build them a support cast - by weird overpays for guys like Kassian, Lucic (Neal), Campbell or Nurse. They have lost players like Kesselring (now a top 4 RD signed for 1,4m) who would fill one of their biggest needs, or Broberg, who looked like a sure top 4 LD. Short: I have no mercy for the Oilers, they shall pay if they can`t provide a support cast for 2 all time greats.

14 million for someone who is: On the ice 1/3rd of a game (20mins) 1/5th of the on-ice players (5v5) So you're paying that money for someone who is 1/15th of the team. (1/3)*(1/5) With McDavid that's 35% of the cap for 2/15th, or 13% of the players on ice at any given moment. So now you got 65% of cap to fill the other 87% of the lineup. Good luck.

No one can “contain” Draisaitl except himself. Barkov didn’t “contain” Draisaitl..he was playing with multiple injuries, not least of which was a broken finger. Good job keeping up though.
@jsquared1013
@jsquared1013 Ай бұрын
Barkov "didn't contain Draisaitl" because he was busy containing McDavid. Rather effectively, I might add. If your injuries are making you play that ineffectively, maybe it's better to drop out of the lineup to heal so the team can call up someone who isn't injured (assuming your team has any depth...)

Not for long. Salaries have been going through the roof since about 2020 (when everyone else was either getting COVID, losing their job or both) and once McDavid's contract is up, he'll be the highest paid player again. All the salary cap really did was limit what players from the 2nd line and 2nd pairing D on down could make. The top guys were still going to make huge money. Everyone else just had to take what was left and there was a period of in the 2000s and 2010s where a lot of middle 6 forwards between the ages of 25 and 30 were either taking a lot less, having to play in Europe or retiring altogether. Those mid-range players are the ones paying the price for the salary cap. The guys at the top will always make their money, which means there's less to build a competitive team, and those top players are being paid huge salaries to score a lot of regular season goals, but by playoff time, teams don't have the depth anymore unless they drafted exceedingly well.
@jsquared1013
@jsquared1013 Ай бұрын
Let's be honest, no "middle 6" player is going to leave to play in Europe or "retire altogether" because they can't as much salary as they want. They do that because their skillset is in decline and they want to keep playing instead of sliding down to the 4th line or getting dropped to the AHL.

Interesting to watch, but historically teams that are built this way don't win. Depth is so important in hockey, it takes the whole team. In the salary cap era it's teams that are balanced from top to bottom that win. The ones that are built top heavy where only a handful of guys are taking up the whole cap and they have to go bargain hunting to fill out their roster aren't the last one standing. Not only will the Oilers have the 2 highest paid players in the league but they also have a $9.25M pylon on the blueline that's untradeable and are paying Jack Campbell for another 4 years. It's hard to see how they'll be able to build a team like this that can win a cup.

I’m somewhere in the middle of the “overpay” and the “worth it” crowds. On one hand, he is an above average skilled player who definitely deserves some bank. On the other hand, I doubt his stats would be so impressive without McDavid by his side. They’d still be great, but I don’t think he’d be top 10 from a statistics perspective. At no point, even in contract overlap years, I am of the opinion that he should NEVER be making more money than McDavid. Plus, making that kind of money will force the team to weaken their depth as more contracts come to their ends. The belt is getting to tight a little too high up on the waist. 🤷🏻‍♂️
@jsquared1013
@jsquared1013 Ай бұрын
I agree that the Oilers are putting too much into the top few and won't have enough left for solid depth players, but for most situations McDavid and Draisaitl aren't on the ice together; McD is 1C and Drai 2C, they usually are on the ice together for the power play or "urgently need a goal" moments.

This is a really good deal because in hind sight AAV doesn't mean your cucked in salary he gets paid 16.25 Million this year or something like which means next year his AAV would go down and over the years he could only be getting like 12 million on his last year or something(I haven't seen the full contract of how much he's getting paid each year etc) So it's not a bad deal as long as they pay him top dollar during these next lets say 3 years and then slowly decrease that number over the last 5. Thats just my take though and it does depend on whether they did that or not

What would have been an acceptable cap hit for him to take in your opinion? When McDavid signs his new deal next summer are you going to think the same thing when he becomes the highest paid player and taking up a higher percentage of the cap? The cap should keep going up for a little bit and the percentage Draisaitl eats up will get smaller over the 8 years. The real problem for me is a hard cap league. I'd rather get rid of the cap completely, but why not have a soft cap with a luxury tax? You can take the luxury tax payments teams will have and use it to subsidize the welfare teams that are one of the reasons the cap exists.

I think having two massive contracts like this might be an issue, unless maybe if the rest of the cap management is absolutely perfect. Also, yeah the cap will go up quite a bit in one shot, but I don't think it's going to change much in terms of new contracts, since, you know, the players and their agents also know that fact, so the average salary will go up. Where it will matter the most is with teams that have already signed long-term their core players for 7-8M; the new cap space will indeed help. So not much help in the case of EDM. AT LEAST he is a playoff BEAST, which, I mean, is THE most important thing at the end of the day. Just try to imagine throwing that kind of cash on not one, but SEVERAL players that absolutely disappear when it's playoff time! Obviously no GM would be dumb enough to build a top heavy anti-playoff performer core, and also give them all a FULL NMC just to make sure to auto screw the team; but that hypothetical team would be stuck in a Sisyphus situation of always losing in the first round forever lol :P Can you imagine such a trainwreck? ;)
