No hometown discount for Bo.

Tomas Hertl, Kevin Hayes, Sean Couturier. Hertl new contract low 8's, Hayes has proven he got WAY too much. Couturier is a better player than Bo starting a 7x 7.7. Hertl and Couturier are more 1st line centers than Bo is though.

2nd line center type players like Ryan Strome, Vincent Trochek and Mikael Granlund signed in low 5's for term. RNH not a center anymore it seems also low 5's.

I'd say Bo is somewhere in the middle of those 2 sets of players. Mid to low 6's.

The game doesn't even get played, the entire Oilers team comes down with Mad Cow Disease from eating tainted Alberta beef and is forced to forfeit the season.

30 goal scorer Bo Horvat, will not be paid less than oft-injured 20 goalscorer, Brock Boeser, who makes 6.625, per.

Ya, I thought about mentioning that Demko scores a goal.

One could argue Boeser's career .79 vs Bo's career .64.

Boeser has scored more than Bo in most years playing less games. 4 out of 5 seasons Boeser has a higher PPG, than any of Bo's best.

Be surprised if the team gets one of those this year.

Yes they could. One could also argue who is more valuable to the team.
Also, one could also argue, about the top 3 forwards on the team, all 3 can play centre(somewhat).

Agreed. This is a no brainer...

Do you want to pay the teams 3rd line center 7M a year?

Put some less than ideal players on the top 6 wings because you pay too much for centers. Are you really strengthening the team then? Does that make Bo more valuable from a team stand point or an individual?

Bo is a UFA. Bo is a center. Bo plays defensive match ups. Bo near top of the league in face offs. Bo is the teams Captain. Bo is a play off stud.

Boeser is lame. He does none of thee things.

Hoglander, Pearson, Mikky all going to be staying in the top 6 for a while then.

Bo doesnt play 3rd line C minutes.

Just goes to show how overpaid BB is, and how that hurts Van.

Exactly.

No, neither did Sutter. If you went strictly by minutes... Is Bo better than Petey?

Not likely, 5-2 loss, just to get this place into hysteria lane.

@TonyBrarOTV

Oilers projected lineup for season opener vs. VAN:

Kane - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Holloway - Draisaitl - Hyman
McLeod - RNH - Foegele
Malone - Shore - Ryan

Nurse - Ceci
Kulak - Barrie
Murray - Bouchard

Campbell

Game might be won by which team is better defensively as a whole.
