Dont need a massive acquisition

Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 7, 2022

Published: Mar. 7, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This team has surprisingly few weak spots when not being stupid about who it gives minutes to. I don't know what's happening with the shot-blocking cowboy, I'd probably rather play him on the third pair with Broberg and run Kulak-Ceci as a shutdown pair and try to get out of the Barrie contract, but I'm not sold on committing the resources to both dump and replace Barrie.

Reimer's about as good as any goalie likely to move ahead of the deadline (with the exception of Kuemper, who I assume will cost a painful amount), with a +0.29 dFsv% and 9.46 GSAx over the last 3 seasons.
Kulak's a solid, versatile LHD with excellent defensive results at 5v5 and a strong transition game. He's well equipped to either act as a security blanket for Bouchard/Barrie or act as a puck-mover for Ceci on a shutdown pair. Montreal hasn't really valued him highly, but Montreal has pretty consistently underrated their own defensive players over the last few years (I still can't believe they thought Dvorak could replace Danault).
Bouchard actually has a better GAR on the PK than the PP the last few years. I was as surprised as you are, but I'll take it considering the options. Here's hoping Russell's back fairly soon.

Offseason goals: move on from Barrie, get the NHL to ban Keith in order to get out of that contract, use the ensuing cap space to resign everybody.
