Oilptimized? Hm.

Anyhow lots to like here

Yams🍠 would maybe only take that $ as a 1 year bridge deal though, he knows he's quite good and deserves more $ and is close to hitting his prime etc.

Likely still though he'd just go to arbitration and say:

"Bruh I was ~ at a point per game in early 2020 😎"

I like a lot of your targets but I have two really big concerns: trading the 1st for Jake "Healthy Scratch" DeBrusk, and trusting your starting position to a guy with 38 GP for the next 4 years.

Also, buying out Koskinen doesn't make any sense for several reasons, one of which is the $1.5M dead money on the books just as you have to re-sign Nurse, Bear, Puljujarvi and others.

Send Russell somewhere else. Shot blockers are puck chasers. No thank you. Over pay for Brusk imho
