Description

As we have seen it takes a really good team to win a cup that is complete in almost every way and has good character on an off the ice. I think that with a few tweaks Edmonton can become that team as they will have several young players on the roster.

Now for an interesting subject. I think that the Oilers go with Lucas Edmonds in the draft as he is probably quite close to NHL ready and I think would salivate to get to play with McDavid and Draisaitl and I think that he is ready for it after playing with a really good player in Wright who I think of as a Crosby or Bergeron type player.

Without further ado, here are is the team:

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
McLeod, Ryan	2	$1,000,000
Puljujärvi, Jesse	4	$2,000,000
Yamamoto, Kailer	2	$2,000,000

UFA		YEARS	CAP HIT
Burakovsky, André		6	$6,000,000

CREATED		YEARS	CAP HIT
Edmonds, Lucas		3	$925,000

Trades

EDM

Tychonick, Jonathan [Reserve List]

Additional Details:

Interesting college D that could end up being something but probably does not even recieve an offer from the Sens so I'd assume he goes to FA.

OTT

Barrie, Tyson

Additional Details:

He could play with Chabot for a few years and see if he still has some of that offensive prowise and he could really help out on the 2nd PP.

EDM

Brown, Connor

OTT

Kassian, Zack
Lavoie, Raphael
Tullio, Tyler
2023 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Lavoie + Kassian = FC

Tullio + 2nd = Brown

I get that he's really good and I'm a big Sens fans but we may be overvaluing him but I think that this could be a solid base.

EDM

Hill, Adin

SJS

2023 3rd round pick (EDM)

I feel like these moves are taking the team backwards, that’s my biggest issue. Removing Connor Brown and inserting Kassian and Barrie adds more cap and I don’t think it makes us better
