One fan on Twitter expressed their skepticism about the contract, stating:
"Overpay."
Another fan took the opportunity to criticize the Oilers' management decisions, stating:
"Could have been 8 years for the same price before last season but Kenny Holland was too busy in Kelowna to sign him."
On the other hand, some fans showed strong support for Ryan McLeod and his new contract. One fan remarked:
"Very fair on Ryan's part. This kid is an Oiler, and we can win with him at 3C. Bouch to come. I love the trust in our current roster to grow from within, and the addition of 97's old wingman!"
Another enthusiastic fan chimed in with:
"EXCELLENT STUFF NOW GIVE US EVAN BOUCHARD AND ETHAN BEAR."
Some fans may see McLeod's contract extension as an overpayment, while others view it as a fair deal for a promising young player.
As fans eagerly await the upcoming seasons, they will undoubtedly continue to share their thoughts on social media platforms, adding to the lively and dynamic discourse surrounding the professional player.
