Description

Getting Seattle to take Neal should be a focus for Holland. It just opens up so much in terms of flexibility. I don't necessarily think the players I signed on this would even come here. But it just shows what the Oilers would have room for. Could sign a Top 6 F, Top 4 D a 3 C and a goalie.

Just buy him out. It's not the most expensive buyout.

No more buyouts. Its just dead cap.. you cant trade it or anything. It would be 1.9M on the books for 4 years. This years draft is weaker than usual. If it means you can sign a Top 6 winger for McDavid, then its worth giving up.

The RNH and Yamamoto deals are insulting and really overall this is just shuffling deck chairs.

They really aren't. Not sure what RNH has done to get 7+ M. Yamamoto is a standard bridge deal. You could argue 4 M maybe but unless they go long term he's not getting more than that. Especially when the cap isn't going to go up.

Sure, your best winger is going to only get 4 million.
