This is a Joke. With Salaries like that, how are you supposed to form a Stanley Cup Winning Team? This is too much. I have no Understanding of the Oilers signing a Contract like this.
Great news and awesome Job from the oilers group! Leon now knows he is wanted and has a pivotal role in bringing the cup home! Leaders lead and other people always want a leader!!
The Cup is obviously the ultimate goal but a western conference championship, and the longest winging streak in western conference history are both highly significant achievements in their own right.
Super happy to have draisaitl with us for basically a dynasty run with the team, I'm just a bit worried about the money and how that will affect our future abilities to procure talents like him and McDavid
Congrats Leon. I knew you were going to be huge for our Oilers. You still exceeded eveyones expectations and hopes. We cant wait for you to help bring a cup home.
I'm a Canucks fan and Vancouver local but hitched my ride to the Oilers this past spring when we got beat fair and square. It was a ton of fun, those late evenings watching the post-game videos on YouTube here and elsewhere. Seeing White Ave. and the warm weather and fans outside as it's still light out at 10PM. I know Edmonton maybe had a rep decades ago about stars wanting to stay there but for Leon, how could you not want to?
I get the feeling there's about a half million dollar embarrassment tax added on to his salary. Germans don't like to be embarrassed and Edmonton management is always creating new ways to be more and more embarrassing.
Drai, seeing you in another jersey would just be so painful honestly. Thank you for choosing this city and us fans. We love you very much, and we know you'll bring the cup to Edmonton.
This is so awesome to see, star players wanting to stay. I've been an oilers fan since grade 3/4 in 06/07 I didn't watch hockey really but I knew about it and loved floor hockey in gym, my friends also were/are oiler fans, then had family in Edmonton.
I watched hockey while in restaurants, and played a nhl 05 pc demo game. I watched the playoffs against the VGK last year and started watching consistently in January of this year. And I'm so glad I got back into hockey after years of not really paying attention to it, it's so fun watching McDavid and the team do their thing. It helped that my brother lived there for the last 3 years. Congrats on the 8 year extension Leon, go get that cup this year, the team can do it. I plan to go to my first hockey game this year in Edmonton with my brother when our schedules work out to go there. I may be a BCer but I'm northern so I'm not for the Canucks.
Why did he lie? The panthers did not have 4 people taking up that much cap. There too 4 took up $33.5, after mcdavid is resigned their top 4 will take up almost $50M or more.

How much Connor's next contract will be, 16 million ?
Danke 🎉🎉 Leon Forever Oilers #1
Way to Go. Congrats Leon.
Love Leo and his Complete Emotional Commitment to the Team and to the owner and city !!! He is All In as the boys are in Winning !!!
not one word about Johnny, no surprise
Super happy about this signing. It will be interesting to see if Skinner in his second season as a starter has developed his game.

Of course spec asks a dump of a question
Wow whooohohh 🎉😊

I can't picture you in another Jersey either! Thanks for staying put and congrats.
FUCKIN PHENOMENAL
Great signing! We can breathe again! Thanks Leon! 😁
Phew.
Stan is the best! Congratulations Leo!

WE LOVE YOU LEON!! Pure magic brother!

Well deserved and well earned contract for Drai!
I was so stressed all of August waiting for him to sign. I can breathe
29 all day!! Let's Go!!!
Love Drai <3, F U bowman though.
Been a fan since I was 9, in 1979, when the family moved to St. Albert from Ontario.
Thank you Leon. We lost Mark. We lost Wayne. You deciding to keep calling this city home means more to us old-timers than you may even realize.
We love you.
King Leon is here to stay!!!! LFG!!!
Great day for Leon and us!
Mr. Bowman should be persona non grata in the league or by oilers fans.

This is a very good sign that McDavid will also sign long-term.
I get the feeling there's about a half million dollar embarrassment tax added on to his salary. Germans don't like to be embarrassed and Edmonton management is always creating new ways to be more and more embarrassing.
not as bad as petterson at 11.6
German techno 🎉
Fuckin' A !
LET'S GO OILERS !!!
Drai, seeing you in another jersey would just be so painful honestly. Thank you for choosing this city and us fans. We love you very much, and we know you'll bring the cup to Edmonton.
Thank you Leon for believing in the team and the fanbase. Hopefully you get a cup here soon.
Very relived! Leon’s worth every penny, thanks so much for staying in Edmonton! The best is yet to come.
WTG Stan, Leon, Daryl ☑☑☑😂😎👌📙📘👥

Why the Hell is that Loser Bowman on the Call? No one wants to hear from that clown.
Hope the salary goes up, 14 mill is wild for one player.
Thank you Leon, so glad you decided to re-sign in Edmonton. Love watching you in Oilers colors. 😊❤❤❤ Go Oilers!
Happy to see Draisaitl back. This is our year boys!

OMG, I love Leon! He wants to be an Oiler for life and win with the Oilers. Edmonton is very fortunate to have him. Such a world class talent!
Let gooooo!
The Oilers are top heavy. This has always been the problem.
