<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Normally I agree, I just defended my own salary choices stating that teams with rfa control will should and do use bridge deals before they pay their young players... however I said that the exception lay with teams like Edm and Buf, especially edm now that they've hired the league's worst GM... taylor hall, jordan eberle, leon draisaitl, connorMcDavid, RNH, all rfas straight out of their entry level deals getting top contracts not because of production (worst team every year) but because of what they meant to the team down the line</div></div>

Two contracts are from this current GM. You will see a precedent set for the top RFAs of a team get paid. As you will see with the leafs with Nylander and Marner and Matthew's. Drais and Mcdavid had set themselves apart from their peers when they signed their respective contracts. Nurse while improving every year, hasn't matched that level when compared to his draft year or players close by (example Ristolinan and Ekbland)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>With the signing of Green, I wonder where the Oilers are going to have any cap flexibility to sign their RFAs the following year. Even without Green, the Oilers seem to big cap issues.</div></div>

Ya Green it probably a push. I think Oilers cap issues are more short term than long term. Lucic isn't worth $6M but he isn't worth $2M either. He will bounce back and play a decent 2nd LW.

Russell has a tradeable contract the following year... He will have a limitedNTC and is lower salary will be appealing for the bargin teams.

Sekera will likely bounce back a bit as well. His injury wasn't good and he likely rushed back due to the Oilers initial play. All guys are likely 1-1.5 higher than they should but that's what you get for signing FAs. Oilers have some guys on the farm that will be filling in these roles the next year or two. Look at Bear, Jones, Yamamoto, Benson.
