Description

The Oilers need to be looking at free agent undraftee Antti Suomela. Extremely fast centre that can play left wing. He put up 60 points in 59 games in Liiga men’s league which is very impressive. Now look at that top nine, much improved and without trading or paying through the nose for a LW

i like that idea, thats the type of smart stuff our gm needs to be looking for. only changes id make are having yamamoto up instead of caggiula and trying to get some assets for him. slepy should be the extra or 4LW and maybe a backup to replace montoya. well done my man

Yea, might be bit much for guy just coming over from EU, but like the idea. He is still 24 when season starts so could give him a 1 year max entry 925k+bonuses, so he is a bust we don't have 3Mx3. and would be RFA if he performs well. Then could maybe add another 2-3M winger for depth on RW since thats a scary right side to start the season with

You’re pinning a lot of hope on an untested European guy. I like the idea of bringing him in, but not at 9M over 3 years and certainly not in the top 6.
