Description

I'm still not thrilled with the depth, however there are some cheap bets with decent upside that could be worth it. If they don't work, they are interchangeable so no biggie.

Also tried to do this with no trades as they tend to make things harder from a prediction standpoint.

I presume that you are just putting on paper guys that will fit on this roster, as opposed to literally making this a build?

I agree that Ullmark, Murray and especially Coleman are really good fits on this Oilers roster.... the problem of course is that you never see a team sign this many notable free agents. I don't think they will get both Tatar and coleman even if they let RNH go.
