ew, parayko is one of the worst contracts in the league paying that much for him and a 4th liner is lunacy, I don't like ceci but I'd rather keep him at 3x2 than CP @6.5x7 with his injury history as trajectory over the past 2 seasons has been concerning also that 6.5M will hinder drai, Bouch, holloway, mcleod and possibly foegele from all re-signing

If I was EDM, I would get a goalie like Fleury at the Trade Deadline.
Charlie Lindgren wouldn’t be a good fit for the Oilers.
I could be wrong, but I’m just saying it as an assumption.

I disagree. Parayko is a significant upgrade on Ceci. Health is a concern, that’s fair, but he’s having a good year. He looks healthy again. His cap hit is actually very fair, but the term is too long in an ideal world.

It’s about winning this year to compel these impending fa’s to re sign at a fair number to keep winning.

To re sign drai and bouch, someone probably has to get dealt anyways. Perhaps Nurse. Kane.

Foegele is a goner regardless.

Big decisions are coming. Now is not the time to be gun-shy.

That’s fair, flower would be great. Cap hit may be an issue in the context of trying to add a good fwd or dman as well. Getting lindgren at min wage for next year helps.

It’s stu’s net.

Of course he’s an upgrade on Ceci. It’s Cody Ceci .

In any case, I like Ceci he’s solid, but we could upgrade him for much less than it’d cost to get Parayko.
