Oilers Ambitious and Wishful thinking

Created by: David_McDavid

Team: 2020-21 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 22, 2020

Published: Sep. 22, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Strategies:
- Go big on select UFAs
- Mail it in with this year's draft picks - and use them as incentives to move out contracts

Note:
- If some of the trades are close and need a swap of picks (i.e. NJD), that would be ok.

Thanks for the discussion and thoughts.

I like the wings deal, only issue is that we have a contract limit, so instead of the 4rh take the 6th, perlini and erne and we are good to go

VAN decline, they already have enough bottom 6 pylons. They are trying to shed salary.
