Be Smart with Klef Out

Created by: Oilyboy
Team: 2020-21 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 30, 2020
Published: Sep. 30, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The season is months away. Broberg and Bouchard (not to mention Samorukov) are playing and developing over that time. I would not jump the gun and think that we absolutely need OEL TODAY. Let the D issue simmer. Jones looks surely goot to play 17-18 mins a game now. Russell can definitely play similar minutes (or be traded for a very late pick, and replaced by another 4-6 Dman). What is most important right now is using the extra cap to a) give Athanasiou a shot at 3 mil(and perhaps trade him if he really shows well early on...since he is unreliable), get a 3C and a decent backup.

Good call, wait and see. Acquiring OEL would be a franchise altering move -- not necessarily for the player, but for the price in assets and dollars that that player will cost them for the next half decade or so. I think pursuing a free agent (Shattenkirk, Dillon, DeMelo, etc.) wouldn't be a bad move; those guys are affordable, effective and will improve the blueline even more once Klefbom comes back. But doing something drastic could be potentially devastating (especially if that "something" is acquiring an overpaid, declining defenseman for a pile of young players and draft picks).

I agree. If we are concerned with Russell, trying to trade him off to a team that has cap room but wants to save actual dollars could work, and then sign Dillon to play those minutes perhaps with better results. But really, Russell is still fine for this year.

I keep seeing Dell on this site. After watching him in SJS, I think we might be better with Smith....
