Still need bottom 6 depth + a better d-core than Keith, Russel, Barrie, and Ceci + an upgrade in net though

Holloway and Lavoie are probably going to be in the bottom six. Bouchard. and yes they really need to replace Koskinen.

I was very excited for this off-season for EDM -- they had a ton of cap space available and had the opportunity to really build a deep team around McDavid + Draisaitl, but all they have done is add Hyman, Keith, and Ceci while re-signing Barrie and Smith. I like Hyman on this team, but don't love the contract -- other than that, this is an underwhelming off-season so far for EDM in my opinion. I don't think they're any closer to a cup with these moves.

They just surpassedToronto for the biggest discrepancy in talent between their top and bottom 6

Now Barrie just needs to convert to RW and Oilers need to sign and an actual Dman

And now they traded Bear to CAR -- not sure on the return

Chris Johnson is saying Warren Foegele

Foegele going back, one for one -- should've been able to get a pick out of CAR as well, but I like Foegele a lot for the 3rd line.

Oilers do need a 3rd line

I've wanted Oilers to target Foegele since his good playoff run like 3 years ago. Bear might be a heavy price to pay but Oilers seriously needed a better 3rd line and this is a start.

Getting a center like Haula could go a long way in making a competitive 3rd line as well -- Foegele - Haula - XXX would be interesting.
