i just offered the landscaping guys $20 to trim a tree back away from my porch and they said "we're doing that tomorrow". and then i watched the look in his eyes change as he realized that he'd just lost himself $20.
- they need to be able to compete these next few years and not waste McDavid.
- the playoffs showed Nurse's value to Edmonton as the playoffs suit his game better than the regular season but also their last game that went triple OT, he played over 60 mins when other defenders were in single digits. They simply don't have the horses to let him go
- they got burned letting Petry go. (Petry, whose contract today looks pretty nice) Not sure how the optics would look if they let their only home grown defender go
Is the contract pretty? No. Still an argument could be made that it's better than the following contracts on Edmonton alone:
Barrie
Ceci
Keith
Hyman
Kassian
Koskinen
Edit: and that's without mentioning the retained money on Lucic and the buyouts of Neal and Sekara - Takemedrunkimhome
gotta admit there's a certain logic to the contract when considering EDM's cluster(frank) as a whole lol
