Description
Seattle protection list:
7: Archibald, Benson, Draisaitl, McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, Puljujarvi, Yamamoto
3: Bear, Jones, Nurse
1: Koskinen

Tatar and Ullmark are some of the bigger pieces on the market but I think Holland looks to reward and give faith to the group that had a phenomenal season in Edmonton. This setup simultaneously improves the roster without rocking the boat.

Money exists for Klefbom to return if he's healthy enough to do so: if he's returning (approximately January) I'd like to see the Oilers pull a trade - Benson, Jones, and a pick - to upgrade on Kahun. I like Perron but would happily settle for Rust if either the Blues or Penguins are in a nosedive. I think it would be cute if they acquired Sekera at the deadline as an upgrade on Sbisa to reward the old shinpad assassin with a deep playoff run and hopefully a cup.

Such a move also forces Holloway to remain in the AHL with Broberg, Konovalov, Lavoie, Samorukov, and Skinner. Both the Condors and Oilers should be looking at deep playoff runs.

Oilers draft (LW/RW) Nikita Chibrikov 21st overall at the 2021 draft. He has two years left in Russia: expect him to directly transition to the NHL in 2023-24.

Awesome! Great post, no need to go crazy. Our starter, and top line 2-way left winger. Our two biggest needs filled. I wonder if we will get Coleman, since Holland tried to trade our first for him.

They'll kick the tires on him for sure, but even if they go Coleman > Kahun, there won't be enough money left until the deadline for Klefbom to return.

Of course a Neal buyout as opposed to burial remedies this but my intent is to limit how long Edmonton carries his dead cap. 2 years is much more favourable than 4 years.

If it comes down to protecting Archibald they should try to swing a trade to actually have someone valuable in that protection spot idk it's just kinda unfortunate

Or take on a F from another team that'll be exposed

Kieffer Bellows or his ilk

Why?

Archibald has internal value to the Oilers: he's a PK wizard and Tippett runs him up and down the roster. He's a multitool. Protecting him isn't a big deal.
