Team: 2022-23 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 8, 2022

Published: Jun. 9, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Assuming Keith and Smith don’t retire. For the record I think both will or should but we will see. Kassian could be any team gonna have to retain a bit tho. Barrie would be a decent fit in Seattle especially since they have cap and lots of picks. JP I don’t want to move but was pointed out to me that Oilers will have to pay him 3+ in order to avoid an offer sheet and not sure the Oilers do that. But I think he’s gonna be a great player, also think his agent may request a trade. Kane contract can’t be higher then 5. Try not to rock the boat and run it back as much as possible personally probably keep Jp and use the extra money to go after Kuemper or Husso make more sense. Johan’s son is cause we have to get back at Minnesota for absolutely fleecing us. Anyways let me know your thoughts. Also letting the bottom d pairing fight it out with Koekook and Russel vs broberg and Markus. Love to have kulak but can’t afford him unless Keith or smith retires. Pick up chucky see if can reignite his career

Rangers don't have the cap space to sign Puljujarvi.

I could see Kassian returning something like a 5th or 6th with that retention, but it's probably wiser to assume he'd be moved for future considerations, at best. Aside from that, I don't see NYR being interested in Puljujarvi and I also don't see Georgiev as being a sufficient return for him (Gauthier is worth nothing). Overall, that roster is deeply flawed and would likely see the team return to 2017-19 levels of futility.

Read your description. Barrie is a good fit in Seattle . . . but for EDMONTON's purposes, only. (Cap room and lots of picks)

Yes, Seattle could use a puck-moving defenseman, but Barrie's playing style is not a fit for Seattle (at 4.5 million/season, especially) and adding him would only be a serious option much later in the off-season, IMO. Francis has made draft picks priority one, to build this team through the draft. To improve his roster Seattle DOES have ample cap space to do so. This is Plan A. Pass on Barrie.

You dont have to pay McLeod that much, especially if only signing for 2yrs. Dude is a RFA and doesnt have arb rights. He'll more likely come in at 3x1mill

No chance Seattle pays to take Barrie. Canes aren’t paying a third for Kassian, and have no need for Kassian either. Doubt the Rags can even afford JP

I get why Barrie looks expendable but I think that's a really really tough trade to make. This organization lacks depth on the right side replacing a veteran that's proven very capable for a left handed "rookie" just can't been seen as a step forward. As much as I like Russell if he's going to try and continue his career I'm absolutely fine bringing back but can't expect him to be anymore than the 7th d because the hard miles he's put on. With broberg and niemelainen in the picture both lefties its important to have a veteran to play with brings us back to Barrie.
I think the safest option is broberg and niemelianen battle at camp to split time with Russell on the third pair with Barrie being the consistent presence.

Goaltending skinner is the back up next year right now that's the only certainty in net. If Smith chooses to play next year I'm OK with that but those are your two guys. Can't loose skinner to waivers he could reasonably be better than both options presented here.
I did point out a few sort of flaws from my perspective however I will point out one signing or decision you did make that is more significant than most might look at but if moving Kass signing Archie is crucial. Might seem like a minor thing but kept an important element on the roster.

Canes don’t need Kassian or have any room for him. Also he’s a cap dump so even with retention you probably get nothing back best case

Kassian would need to have half his salary gone, and Oilers would have to take Gardiners contract to make it work - which seems counter productive for Oilers.
