Team: 2022-23 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 17, 2022

Published: Apr. 22, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Goalie
---------
- Smith is playing well again. Definitely some risk, let's keep riding this thing, one more year.
- Skinner should beat Koski's .902 save %

Yamamoto
----------------
- One season bridge @ 2.75 for Kailer some risk of arbitration, being optimistic that he plays nice.

Puljujarvi
--------------
- 4 year extension
- Jesse is hard to value but apparently Nichushkin is a good comparable.

- I have Jesse at 2 x 2.75 RFA years + 2 x 5.UFA years, averaged together for 4 x 3.875. I'm sure some will say that is low but Jesse's low point totals beside McDavid makes me think it's on the high side.

Kane
-------
- I like him, not sure what kind of offers he gets, 5x4M is mine, don't think I would go much higher.
- Contract wraps up same time as McDavid and Puljujarvi, we'll have 21M to figure out how we want to move forward in Conner's contract year.

Kuzmenko
---------------
- Kuzmenko has to sign a one year ELC, his agent Millstein has a long relationship with Holland and seems high on the Oilers.

There is $1M cap left which should cover Bouchards 850k overages this year.
