Signing 34 year old Henrique for 4 more years is a pretty bad start!

I think Kulak gets moved for a pick to make room for Broberg and probably Campbell gets bought out. That's $4-5M in savings.

I don't think Campbell gets bought out yet.
Enough money to bring Louie's son home to Edmonton, Jake.

I wouldn't buy Campbell out this summer, but I'm pretty sure the Oilers do.

For sure you could get DeBrusk just by (1) not signing Henrique and (2) trading Kulak for a pick. I'd rather DeBrusk than Henrique just due to age.
