Description
This is best case scenario for the oilers next year. this team has 3 solid lines, the first is relatively the same with holloway for kane, who i think will end up playing similar styles but holloway much much better 2way player. the 2nd line being DRY again is the 1st line on any other team, the 3rd line that evolved greatly over the course of the playoffs and one that i think Mcleod makes a giant leap in this year. a 4th line there primarily to kill penalties, they wont see much ice with mcdavid playing 22min a night and thats fine. and I have addressed the glaring issues on defense and in goal. Theodore for keith, and Manson for Barrie are 2 huge upgrades in the defensive zone. having a tandem of husso and skinner is a bit unproven but both are solid goalies and will be much more stable than smith/mikko. this team would surely make the conference finals again, and would be a contender for the cup. note: on here this team is 750k over cap, but if keith retires it is actually 2.6m under.

      Retirement - there is an additional 3.4m cap savings not reflected on this website due to negative cap penalties.

      Devils get a true PP QB that they are lacking at a decent price.

      1. Kassian, Zack
      2. 2022 5th round pick (EDM)
      Additional Details:
      Kassian has value to the right team, just not worth his 3.2m. a team like seattle who will likely have lots on youngsters on the roster in next 2 years could use kassians protection and grit.

      4. 2023 2nd round pick (EDM)
      Additional Details:
      The knights have -1m cap space to sign 6 players. ie it wont happen. They need to shed cap and if holland was smart he would target young stud Theodre who at 5.2mx3 is a steal and under term. the knights trading for eichel put them in beyond cap hell and losing a big piece is a given for them, holland should push the issue and get theodre from them, and for this price its a steal, knights say yes based on decent prospects the first and the luxury of taking no cap back, something many teams dont want to give them - any chance to live through the nightmares they created for themselves.

      "Devils get a true PP QB that they are lacking at a decent price."

      Is this a joke?... Barrie is fine, but he wouldn't touch the PP over Hamilton and Severson.

      Vegas will find another way to make cap room, over trading Theodore.

      ah yes, because the 5th worst PP in the league is doing so well. severson is not a PP QB - hes done it in njd because there's been no1 else, and it has struggled. you could argue hamilton but his 5on5 minutes are much much more valuable to the team vs barrie. barrie would be a massive upgrade for their PP, and he would get sheltered 5on5 minutes behind hamilton and severson.

      4.5M for a 3rd pairing powerplay specialist is a bad investment
      Much rather have a guy like Walsh and Mukhmudullin on the bottom pair
