Richest contract in Oilers history also one of top bargains in entire NHL, analytics expert says
This in from Dom Luszczyszyn, stat analyst from The Athletic, his list of the best contracts in the NHL, and his assertion that Leon Draisaitl's new $14 million per year deal — the richest in the history of the Edmonton Oilers — is also the sixth best contract in the NHL just now. Article content According to Luszczyszyn, Draisaitl's new $14 million per year deal over eight seasons will give the Oilers $35 million in surplus value, about $4.4 million per year. Article content Article content 'What looked like a fair deal when it was signed now looks like a steal thanks to Draisaitl's personal leap in performance timed with the rising cap environment,' Luszczyszyn writes. 'On the Draisaitl front, he was the league's best skater last year as a result of a much-improved defensive game. While Draisaitl's defensive play had already grown relative to his early days, last season's jump put him on the fringes of Selke discussions. He reached a new level that put him in the conversation among the league's best 200-foot players — and it didn't come with any offensive sacrifice either.' Article content Article content The unexpected rapid rise in the NHL's salary cap makes Drai's deal all the better of a bargain, Luszczyszyn writes. Article content 1. It's great that the analytics crowd now appreciates Draisaitl. Earlier in his career, many analytics types were open to trading away Drai from the Oilers and argued his first contract was somewhat of an overpay when he inked it. At the Cult, our video analysis of Draisaitl showed him to be a strong player from his first year in the league, but he's now reached a new height. For the first time in their decade together, Draisaitl out-played Connor McDavid at even strength this past regular season. Article content Draisaitl was +2.99 Grade A shots per game this year at even strength, making contributionsto 4.3 per game and mistakes on 1.3 per against against. That's the best number we've ever found at the Cult of Hockey since starting video review of scoring chances in 2010-11. Article content Article content 2. Draisaitl was at his attacking best this year. He's never been so dangerous. He also picked it up defensively in the regular season. In the playoffs, especially in the Final against Florida, both he and McDavid saw a drop in their defensive play. In the Final, both of them pressed too hard to force the attack, which all too often drew them out of position, McDavid trying to win battles and pucks, Draisaitl trying to steal the puck by anticipating where it would go. This worked when they guessed right but when they guessed wrong it led to too many Grade A shots and goals against.

NYC shooting gunman left behind note appearing to blame NFL for brain injury
The lone shooter who killed four people and wounded a fifth at a New York City office building on Monday before taking his own life carried a note with him that appeared to blame the National Football League (NFL) for a brain injury, Mayor Eric Adams told reporters Tuesday. The attacker, 27-year-old Shane Tamura, opened fire in a Manhattan building where the NFL has its headquarters, but wound up in a different part of the building after getting on the wrong elevator. 'He seemed to have blamed the NFL,' the mayor told WPIX-TV. 'The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank.' Tamura, who investigators believe drove from his home in Las Vegas to New York City over three days, was carrying a note that said he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease brought on by head trauma, and blamed the condition for his mental illness, Adams said. Story continues below advertisement The note was found in his pocket after he shot himself dead. A source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that the note was written over three pages and called the letter a 'suicide note.' 'Terry Long football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze,' the shooter wrote, according to the source. 'You can't go against the NFL, they'll squash you.' View image in full screen This undated image provided by Las Vegas Dept. of Motor Vehicle shows Shane Tamura. Las Vegas Dept. of Motor Vehicle via AP Tamura played high school football in California nearly a decade ago, but he never played in the NFL. The late Terry Long was a former American football player who starred as an offensive lineman for eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. Long ended his life in June 2005, at the age of 45, by drinking a large amount of antifreeze. An autopsy later revealed that Long was suffering from CTE. Story continues below advertisement Two people familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press that Tamura apologized in his note and said his brain should be studied after he died. Tamura had mental health crisis holds in Nevada in 2022 and 2024, ABC in New York reported. The shooting happened along Park Avenue, one the nation's most recognized streets, and just blocks from Grand Central Terminal and Rockefeller Center. It's also less than a 15-minute walk from where UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed last December by a man who prosecutors say was angry over corporate greed, and Monday's attack could bring further attention to security in the business world.

A degenerative brain disease, CTE has been identified in athletes and military combat veterans who sustained concussions or repeated blows to the head. It can be diagnosed only posthumously through an examination of the brain. Story continues below advertisement The NFL long denied the link between football and CTE, but acknowledged the connection in 2016 testimony before Congress, and has so far paid more than $1.4 billion to retired players to settle concussion-related claims. Who were the victims? Didarul Islam, 36, had served as a police officer in New York City for three-and-a-half years. He was an immigrant from Bangladesh.

Goodell praised the swift law enforcement response and honoured the NYPD officer who was killed in the attack. Employees in New York were instructed to work remotely Tuesday or take the day off, he said, and additional security will be in place. 'Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family. We will get through this together,' Goodell said.

He then started firing, Tisch said, killing Islam and then hitting a woman who tried to take cover as he sprayed the lobby with gunfire.
