Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 11, 2019

Published: Mar. 11, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

1.McJesus needs wingers, Kapanen has both the speed and skill to compliment him well and Brown has had success with him at different levels. It'd be tough to part with Bouchard but you have to give to receive, and both those wingers are still young. Plus Draisaitl can stay on and anchor the 2nd line.

The Leafs lose 2 guys they can afford to lose and can't afford to keep. In return they rid themselves of Zaitsev and upgrade on him at the same time while they also get a grade A prospect.


2. Puljujarvi is done in Edmonton and the Oilers could either try to net assets for him or use him as incentive to a team to take off cap pressure. This deal with MTL I feel they get both. It's time to move on from Sekera and his 5.5 contract, at the same time they add a young backup with good potential in Lindgren and a workhorse that I'm high on in Jake Evans.

MTL gets a high risk possibly high reward in Puljujarvi and although Sekera has battled injuries and is overpaid if healthy he could be a good top 4 ld option while prospects gain experience. Plus the Habs can afford him.
