So given that he has had one outstanding season and on potential alone, he is worth Benn and Tavares money now?   He has shown little to nothing to prove that worth at this moment.  </p>

More times than not, blue chips do not live up to the expectations.   If they did, the league would be full of top tier players.   I think the team is fair with their amounts and durations as he is only 22.   Plenty of time to prove he is worth the contracts offered and then some.  The 6 year offer is more than fair for what he has shown.  Nothing says the potential is that much greater.</p>

He was offered a bridge contract but it wasn't enough.


I don't blame the jackets. They want to see one more solid year before tossing him the keys to the team.

Yea $3 mil/year for 2 years is pretty fair. But when he is looking for numbers similar to players that have already established that they deserve; one just has to shake their head.

Oilers fire Eakins; MacTavish reportedly interim coach

I'm exhausted...time for a sammich.

Eakins sucked. He either had no defensive philosophy or one that the players didn't buy into. Grant it, their defensemen aren't the best, but a team like that should have no problem creating offense which they aren't doing.
