Description

Keep the 1st round picks and A-prospects, they're not worth parting with for the likes of Chiarot, some lower acquisition cost moves like these would better serve the Oilers imo.

Didn't do much with the D or goaltending cause the acquisition cost would likely be too high.

Had to bury a lot of guys to create some cap space, is what it is, I'd do it, see a buyout for Kassian coming in the offseason anyway. Was mostly just trying to improve the Oilers bottom six without breaking the bank, think a couple improvements to the Oilers bottom six would go a long way for them.

Are these fair? Would it take more to acquire any of these guys? Is there a dman that wouldn't cost too much to acquire that'd better fit what the Oilers need then Kulak?

Let me know what you think in the comments, thanks!

Habs pass
Need players to finish season and 5th doesn’t mean much for a rebuild

Really eh?? I think their top 6 is fine when everyone is healthy, I mean I get it that more is better but they'd cost more then bottom six guys and with Holloway hopefully a top 6 guy right away I just don't see a top 6 guy as necessary.

They'll get enough scoring from McLeon, RNH, JP, Hyman and Yamo, they need a bottom six that can keep the puck out of the net and maybe chip in a bit which is what I was attempting to do here with getting Larsson and Jarnkrok.
