Not really a curse having big contracts. It's a curse having big BAD contracts. Nurse is one (for the Oilers) as are the buyouts that linger for years.(Neal and Campbell.).
@arsk07A
Sid the kid always took a deal with 8.7 mil caphit. That really helped to build a team around him, Malkin and Letang. He really left money on the table. I think he could have got 10-11 millions back in the days.
@Lebroyal
Mcdavid 15, draisaitl 14, bouchard 10, nurse 9. This team, especially with nurse, cannot compete long-term.
@KanadianGOOSE8
Oilers are gonna have a hard time keeping Mcdavid and Bouchard and still keeping a team with good depth
@CashMacGregor
edmonton is going to get squeezed when bouchard wants his payday and his agent will be talking about nurse's deal.
@urban_tv89
Excellent video, good to know theres someone out there that looks at these contracts the same way i do
@LispyOnSaltz
the oilers really had no choice but to resign him though
@Randoir11
Next video idea . All the talent Toronto has let go vs all the talent they have . Who has more points ?
@Ponzixr6
Love your content
@patch8376
Great video. Well-argued. I'd actually like to see the max contract come down to 4-6 years. Albatrosses hurt the league.
@SalSagev-n3s
9:28 Glad you included this goal. Drai's crazy good.
@EichelTower9
Ignore the haters my man, great content!
@ZachPenner
I Can't wait to see what the Kaprizov and Mcdavid contracts are gonna be.
@beneasler8868
If any duo could win a cup with 30+% cap tied up its McD and Draisaitl. However, the '09 Pens didn't have a Nurse-like contract. Their two best defensemen in Gonchar and Letang weren't making much compared to their value at all (Tanger might've still been on the rookie contract). Staal was also huge for that run so maybe playing Nuge at 3C could help spread the love better
@chungang7037
I'm convinced every GM is aware of this, but many of them are not concerned with winning the cup but filling seats by being good enough go on playoff runs, at least on paper.
@EDMOilers
People are forgetting that players will take a pay cut to play on a competitive team beside Draisaitl and Mcdavid.
@JamesAnderson31
please use more videos of the leafs getting scored on
@HockeyTruther
Nurse is their Tavares. Pens never had a bad contract during their cups. Almost every cup team with a ~10m player on it has been earning their contract at the time of the cup: Kucherov, stamkos, Crosby, Malkin, ovechkin, bobrovsky, tkachuk, Tavares is good but an 8m player at best. Nurse is good but a 4.5m player at best. Cannot win with those types of deals. It’s not draisaitl, McDavid, Matthews, Nylander or marner

never heard anyone say DiPietro's name like that
