The Edmonton Oilers have made a huge splash in the restricted free agent pool.

DAMN! That's a huge contract. No way Buffalo matches that. Take the draft picks and call it a day. Go to the finals in a few years with a better overall team.

Not a big surprise.. they couldn't really afford to lose much more. That said, slick move on Edmonton's part for forcing their hand. [though I'm sure someone's gonna complain that touching RFAs is a big faux pas]

Here's one to debate all [pre]season

7 years. $50mil.

Do you want Gomez or do you want Vanek.

first half of the contract I'd probably say Gomez... second half.. dunno.. kinda still waiting to see what Vanek turns into
