Description

Here's how I believe Ken will handle this off-season.

Keith won't retire, we're gonna lose Yams and/or Jesse. Ryan Rishaug, says we're prioritizing Yams over Jesse, but who knows if that's even true. Kassian buyout, Kulak on a bargain to stay. Kuzmenko in for a season.

Kane posted a farewell tweet, but I am going to assume that Ken will try to keep him so here's the absolute BAG this mf gets.

Various Detroit based moves.

Despite this, we still manage to not be ass thanks to the efforts of our younger core (Bouchard, McLeod, Holloway, Broberg and maybe Lavoie).

Finally an Oilers ACGM without Keith retiring or traded with a NMC and Smith not retiring. Bravo. Realism

Everything looks good. I just dont like betting on so many kids in the McDrai window. They need to be a bit more bold here IMO

Detroit will accept this but their 3rd in 22 is reserved for other trades. Will Albin Grewe + a 4th suffice?

This is well done. I’m concerned with the goalie situation though - I don’t trust Smith and Skinner is unproven. I also think we lose the Detroit trade quite badly, which is unlikely to happen anyway as it will result in the Red Wings taking on about 5M in salary once they sign Pullijarvi.

That Kane contract disgusts me

Definitely and Holland-brand Masterclass.

This is well-done. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Holland make these moves or similar this off-season.

And appreciate a trade with Seattle that doesn't involve Barrie and a usual overpay!
