You’d be wise to resign Sheahan... He and Archibald are the reason their PK is so strong. He’d be cheap (less than a million) and would be a better choice at centre than Ennis.
Right now my eyes are bleeding at the site of Chiasson and Neal on the same third line.
I suspect Neal is going to get bought out or dumped somewhere else to be honest. There’s really no need for him if we keep Ennis (who’s a better fit as he can play up and down the line-up) and following the acquisition of AA.
Benning? I suspect the Oilers keep him for a bit to ease Bouchard in, and trade him at next years deadline.
Lagesson? I suspect the Oilers will keep him as a 7th DMan and trade him at some point as well as he’ll be made redundant by Broberg the following year.
Last, Bear - the Oilers would be wise to sign him to a 4 year contract. Hopefully that gives them a bargain deal for 2-3 years, they maintain RFA rights by the end, and they don’t have to worry about him for 4 years. At 4 years, I suspect he’d be around $3.5MM to $4.5MM.
