Team: 2019-20 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 17, 2019

Published: Jul. 17, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I got really bored at work and re worked the entire Oilers roster outside of goalies. How bad is my work?

Free Agent Signings

RFA		YEARS	CAP HIT
Puljujärvi, Jesse		2	$1,000,000
Gusev, Nikita		2	$4,000,000

UFA		YEARS	CAP HIT
Gardiner, Jake		5	$5,000,000

Trades

EDM

2020 6th round pick (OTT)

OTT

Gagner, Sam
2020 4th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Cap dump

EDM

2021 7th round pick (LAK)

LAK

Manning, Brandon
2021 5th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Conditional pick* If Manning plays more than 20 games, the 5th becomes a fourth round pick in the same draft year

EDM

Gusev, Nikita [RFA Rights]
Tuch, Alex

Additional Details:

Huge haul for Vegas who gets top 4 D Nurse he can grow under a great new system. Yamamoto can step in too and maybe be an impact player this year with Cody Glass

VGK

Additional Details:

Huge deal here that gives Edmonton a strong right side. Adding two top six wingers is key for the Oilers ONLY if they can replace Nurse on D with someone like Gardiner

EDM

Leivo, Josh
2021 3rd round pick (VAN)

Additional Details:

Getting Pool Party adds a nice third line punch with some of the Vets. He will be used as a scorer not a 4th line grinder in Van

VAN

Puljujärvi, Jesse

Additional Details:

Giving up Pool party hurts but getting a player like levio who has never been able to express his skill is going be a big part for the Oilers

EDM

Zaar, Daniel [Reserve List]

Additional Details:

2nd roudner for getting a top 6 D? Sure why not!

CBJ

Russell, Kris
2021 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Simply a cap dump, Blue Jackets need picks

Buyouts

Andrej Sekera: $2,500,000
Benoit Pouliot: $1,333,333

Switch Bear with Lagesson or Caleb Jones. benson also makes the 3LW and move down Leivo to 4th. Bury Lucic

You dont think Bear is ready? I also think benson is NHL ready but not third line ready. Still I can see both

I believe since Lucic has an NMC, he cannot be buried. Plus, yes Benson is going to get you a lot more points than Looch, but Looch is still a serviceable 3rd or 4th line winger. Unless Benson makes the second lin out of camp, he should be in Bakersfield playing top line minutes until he lights it up so much that he forces the oil to bring him up. Patience with prospects for a change.

I love how the Oilers pay the Kings MORE if Manning turns out to be useful.

As a Canucks fan, I would really consider that deal. I like Leivo, but it would be worth the gamble.

As a leafs fan, I miss Levio and I think he just needs a chance to play with the big boys

The issue with the Leafs is we had and still have to many skills offense guys rather than some PK guys. Bracco is another guy who is NHL ready but isnt allowed to move up

Wonder if Vegas would consider that trade, can't see them trading Tuch but ya never know, Nurse would make their defense better, they definitely have stronger forward depth then they do on defense.
