Not bad, but I wouldn’t do Klef for Gallagher, I’d rather have Hoffman then Gallagher, I like the Lucic deal for Krieder and definitely like getting John Carlson, that’s a big trade for Subban though, I think they can get a buck up for way cheaper in free agency then giving up all those assests

Grabner is going to make nearly $4M this summer because some asinine GM is going to pay a declining 30-year-old winger for two years of near-30 goal production. I'd much rather stay away from him this summer. Could probably save $500k on Nurse and Carlson, and an extra $250k between Rattie and Caggiula combined.

I'll echo the above poster and say I'd rather see Klefbom go for Hoffman than Gallagher. Unless Montreal adds a pair of 2nds, that trade should never happen. Even then, optics don't look good. If the Oilers are keeping RNH however, there isn't much in the way of room for Hoffman however. I'd wonder if Ottawa would entertain a Klefbom+ deal for Stone instead. If so, expect him to come in at around $7M. I don't think it'd ever happen though, so I'll assume it's going to be Gally G and a couple of 2nd Round picks.

Keep the 2nd Round pick in the Vegas trade and send Sekera instead of Russell. Ol' cowboy is cheaper to buyout than Sekera and it moves more cap. In return, Vegas gets a better defenceman, and the Oilers free up more space. Then proceed to buyout Russell. I wouldn't have Auvtiu as anything more than a #7 defenceman. His underlying numbers are good because he plays much more like a forward - he's actually braindead in his own zone. I'd look at Hamhuis and maybe CDH or Cole to fill the voids on LD, and forgo Wideman altogether.

Not sure it's enough going back to New York for them to absorb 5 more years of Lucic. Might need to add the 2nd Rounder from the Vegas trade and have like a 5th coming back. It's going to be very hard and very ugly to move Lucic's albatross of a contract. I reckon the only way he's dealt with is via compliance buyout during the next lockout.

I'd look at flipping Kassian to a team that needs to reach the cap floor for a 5th round pick as well. He's overpaid by at least $1M. Cap space is mighty important for this team.

Now considering the changes I'd make, I've freed up an additional $16.4M in cap space, but the team still needs 2 more LHD, 1G (Subban should probably start in the AHL, Edmonton really needs a better core than Talbot/Subban), and an extra LW and RW. I'd look at Hamhuis @ $2.3M/1y, Cole @ 4.25M/2y, Maroon @ $2.75M/3y, Mitchell @ $850k/1y and Raanta @ $4M/3y. If Subban is headed to the AHL, it'd be best to sell Montoya for whatever you could get for him. The team is left with ~$2.32M in cap space and is arguably a much, much better team on paper:

RNH / McDavid / Gallagher
Kreider / Draisaitl / Yamamoto
Maroon / Strome / Puljujarvi
Aberg / Khaira / Mitchell
Caggiula / Rattie

Nurse / Carlson
Cole / Larsson
Hamhuis / Benning
Auvitu

Talbot / Raanta

All and all, pretty decent stuff, just need more fudging in the numbers. Resigning Puljujarvi and Khaira next season is going to be super important.
