Fixing the Oilers like Lowe did in 06-07

Created by: marplesn
Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 16, 2021
Published: Dec. 16, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Oilers went on a 7 game losing streak in 06-07, Lowe made trades to improve the team and they went to the cup final. Heres my best attempt at doing the same.
Trades
1.
ARI
  1. Broberg, Philip
  2. Kassian, Zack
  3. Yamamoto, Kailer
  4. 2022 1st round pick (EDM)
  5. 2023 2nd round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
2nd becomes a 1st if the Oilers make the cup final. (Similar to the rumored asking price from Zach Laing at OilersNation which was Yamo, Kassian, and 2 1sts)
2.
PHI
  1. Lavoie, Raphael
  2. Turris, Kyle
  3. 2022 2nd round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Is this enough for a Braun rental? Too much? I'm not sure.
3.
BOS
  1. Barrie, Tyson
  2. Benson, Tyler
  3. 2023 3rd round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Gotta get rid of Barrie, he's not needed, not quite sure how to do it, but BOS needs some offense from their blueline and Barrie brings it. Benson somehow becomes a top 6 F in BOS because of course, he does. (Unsure how fair this trade is tbh, but would be willing to add to make it work)

Just some notes: Unsure about the Barrie trade, but I feel like some GM will see enough value in him to give up a 3rd liner, which is all I'm looking for. Bos just made sense because it sounds like they want an offensive RHD but idk if Debrusk here makes sense with the other trades I made. Also, I didn't fix goaltending because I feel like if you improve the defence enough that 5v5 attempts are limited, our goaltending will hold.

I don’t hate it. You’ve put the team in a difficult position next re. the cap - too many guys to sign and not enough dollars to go around.

Also, Holloway is at least a year away.

Puljuajrvi, McLeod, and Debrusk + Bottom 6 F and a top 6 RHD with 14 million in cap space? I don't think there are too many issues there... at worst it's exactly where they are now.

Also, its hard to say with Holloway because he was solid (I'd argue as good as Caufield) in the NCAA and his game transfers better to the NHL than Caufield because of his size. You're gonna have to replace Yamo somehow (and I think holloway can at least be what yamo was the last few games)

The EDM fans will say the Braun deal: a bit too much, but the Flyers probably take that.

Braun is a RD, playing very well. I think he gets a late 2nd. Turris is a cap dump, so adding Lavoie makes sense
