I was just about to hop on board until I saw Nick Bjugstad as our 3c. He’s bad at face offs! We need a guy that can win some. Other than that, send Holloway down to the minors, buyout Neal, resign Smith, maybe get a decent third line left winger, then we are good!

I like it, it’s a lot like what I want. I think Saad and Nuge both get more to be in Edmonton. And I would sub Bonino or Ryan for bjugstad. Koekook, oleksiak, forbort all decent options but hopefully Klefboom is back in January. Think the oilers will sign smith as the backup and buy out neal and maybe koskinen

I think Larsson comes in closer to $4mil, there will be other teams offering that if we don't. I'd think we could get Khaira for closer to $1mil... he's pure 4C and the market is flooded with those guys. I think Oleksiak will get closer to $3mil based on the level of interest in him.

Quoting: Nhl_oilers

Benson and Holloway should compete for 3LW. If neither cuts it, make a trade when the season starts. You could sign Smith. With thus team Neal still fits well within the cap. He might have a better season starting off without covid.
