Wow. McDavid takes a HUGE pay cut and stays at his current cap hit of 12.5 for 2 more years, awesome to see from the captain. Timer is on the Oilers to win in 3 years (including this one) and McDavid has done his part to make us as competitive as possible. 7x7 for Jake Walman, a little more...

Looks like Jake Walman will join McDavid in extending his contract today :)

Looks like the McDavid extension will be announced today!

Top insiders like Elliotte Friedman have been saying that IF McDavid extends his contract with the Oilers it will be at a lower number than expected to help the team win. I would guess a short term (2-3 year) extension for McDavid somewhere between 15-16M. An agents job is to get his client the...

Your obsession with hating Calgary is so strange. If more oil companies follow suit with similar large scale re-structuring its bad news for Alberta as a whole.

Realistically you would want to trade him if he won't re-sign but it's a difficult equation for us. McDavid with a full NMC gets to pick where he goes giving a smaller number of teams a massive amount of leverage, and he also has to be willing to sign an extension with those teams otherwise the...

Yes it is

I believe he will sign an extension, but it hasn't gone the way I once thought it would/hoped for, for the first time I'm having doubts about it. The Oilers have done a very poor job for most of his career but as it stands right now he cannot join a team thats in a better position for him to...

That render is so funny for so many reasons but I think it depicts the tower where Allard Hall currently stands, you can see these 2 buildings just west of MacEwan: I wonder how old the render is - first time I've ever seen it but I'd assume 10+ years?

I understand you won't change your mind, but just think for a second why we have this cliche of a dark alleyway. It's become a stereotypical place for crime and other illicit undertakings to occur, not just because its dark and late out but because it's an isolated and uninviting space with few...

Only 354 guaranteed units out of this huge amount of funding is disappointing for sure. The City and OEG better make this a quality development, if the Event Park does add an important element to Downtown and becomes a catalyst for businesses and other development nearby then I'll be happy with...

Old Dub Proposal for The Quarters, I believe as a proposal for the new civic tower (which ended up being Edmonton Tower) https://edmonton.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/edmonton-civic-quarters-m-30s-dub-architects.30001/

A big reason Edmonton owns that concert game is because the Saddledome isn't fit to host the equipment needed for bigger shows due to its structure. Once Calgary's new arena is built I suspect the concert demand between the two cities will even out or even swing Calgary's way. Thats unfortunate...

Fixed it

First win in Minnesota since 2019, and a big one at that! No reason for the Oilers to bring Vinny back, I'd be open to it if Vancouver retained 50% to bring his cap hit down to $1 million but they will probably find a new home for him without having to do that. Vinny was good on the PK and was...
