Too much, if they sign Kane he goes into the top 6 somewhere and makes it much better, he's a dirtbag but he's a legit top 6 winger which the Oilers could use.
Adding Kane drops Yamamoto down to the 3rd line which makes for a Foegele-McLeod-Yamomoto line which should be decent enough and makes the Oilers bottom six look a lot more respectable and they should be able to build a decent 4th line with the guys they have left though if there's a decent 4th liner or two that could be added cheaply I'd consider it.
Think then they should trade for a retained Da Haan to help the defense a bit, wouldn't trade Broberg as the Oilers will need his ELC and he could be a future top 4 dman for them sooner then later.
Would just run Smith and Skinner as the goalie tandem and see what happens.
Some minor to medium changes are what the Oilers should be doing imo.
Kane-McD-Pulujarvi
RNH-Drai-Hyman
Foegele-McLeod-Yamomoto
Benson-Scevior-Kassian
Nurse-Barrie
Da Haan-Bouchard
Keith-Ceci
Smith-Skinner
