Team: 2022-23 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 20, 2021

Published: Feb. 1, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Kane signs another 1 year deal at a slightly discounted rate as appreciation for giving. Him another chance in the first place.

Toronto will be in a huge cap crunch due to signing Campbel, so oil swoop in and sign promising winger Mikheyev who is a ufa.

Kassian traded to anyone for cap reasons.

Seattle trade is a win for both by addressing needs for both clubs. Seattle gets the highest scoring d from last season, who can r help run a power play. Oil get some cap savings and a more defence minded 4/5 d man with a little grit.

Bison king/Jesse signed to a short 3 year deal for both sides benefit at a reasonable cap hit.

Yamo signed to a show me more contract.

Mike smith ends his career due to injury and on LTIR for the duration of his contract.

All seems fairly reasonable and realistic. Only reach is signing Kuemper. Stuck to the same salary as this year, but prob requires more to get him to sign w the oil.

On paper - looks like a team that could go far in the playoffs.
