2022-23 Oilers

Created by: a1979
Team: 2022-23 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 9, 2022
Published: Jun. 20, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
All under the assumption Keith, Smith, and Kane are gone.

Working to build a competitive top 6 that does not rely solely on 97 & 29 and a skillful, forechecking, and defensively-concious bottom 6.

Nichuskin is the big-fish this off-season. Losing Kane is inevitable, so may as well sign a guy who is proving to be just as productive with some strong defensive numbers to his name, also.

Helm and Gagner provide some stability to the bottom 6, specifically the 4th line. Having three strong defensive forwards on that line will a) provide some offence, b) keep the puck out of the net when the line is on the ice.

Re-signing Kulak should be a priority. He's great at defending the rush, a skill many Oilers d-men lack.

It's time to give Broberg a shot; throw him on the third pair.

Kassian is a black hole. Trade him to AZ with a sweetener...I'd be willing to pay more than a 4th rounder.

Foegele is a solid player, but he just hasn't worked out on the Oilers. I could see a team like Seattle being a good fit for him.

Barrie is a great guy, but he is expendable with the emergence of Bouchard. Dallas loses arguably their best offensive d-man/powerplay QB and can replace him for cheap with Barrie.

Goaltending is addressed with Husso and Skinner backing him up. Is that championship winning goaltending? Maybe...we'll see.

Let me know your thoughts!

Klefbom, unfortunately, should be listed on LTIR. No indications that he's able to return, most believe he's in LTIRetirement.

I completely agree. Could probably ship his contract out to a team trying to hit the cap floor.

Yep. Really like the Gagner signing. He'd be a great add at $950k
