I really like the Tanev pickup. I think he would really help the oilers... but I think you'll need to offer a bit more $ and term to attract him from simply signing in WPG at that price.
For Nelson... he'd be great. But I really think NYI is easily going to resign him, and probly even give him $7M for 4-5 years. NYI has the cap space, and with their recent success, will likely try to resign all their UFA's. So that means Nelson, Lee and Eberle (especially with how he has played in the playoffs) are likely to all be resigned.
Too bad for the oilers though, cuz I agree, Nelson would be great.
I think you could realistically get Copp at that price as WPG is goign to have serious cap issues and they need to let someone go (Tanev, Copp, etc?) or else trade someone like Perreault or Kulikhov to make room under the cap to sign their RFA's and UFA's.
