I like stats and advanced metrics as much as the next guy.. but that wont win you games. Might predict in a perfect vacuum tube world what an end result may be.. but thats not realistic either (Panthers). I am ok with a bridge deal too. However, if Leon wants 10m per season long term now and the Oilers might be able to sign him at 8-8.5 long term and they dont, going the 5.5m 1 year, where he is again top 10 in scoring improving on his year. What does he cost the Oilers then? Like it or not the Oilers will need a Leon type player to play against the teams in the west they need to overcome. Sheifele / Monohan / Barkov / Gaudreau / MacKinnon are either not as good as Leon or they will not fit the role Leon has right now on this team.
If Leon was so terrible with Lucic and Sleps why is the OP defaulting to that line make up? Because they were not, showed chemistry and provided results in games that mattered.
