Team: 2022-23 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 3, 2022

Published: Jul. 3, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Canucks fan here. Watched a few Oilers games this year and they have quite a few things to address over the offseason so I want to give a try at it. My plan is to sort of just go all in until we have to resign McDavid and Draisaitl... It's not very often when you have arguably two of the top 5 players in the league on your team.

I plan to bolster goaltending and defense while sacrificing some forward depth. After smith, keith, kassian, and barrie's contracts all expire it will be draisaitl's contract year but by then we will have around 15 million to make a contender team. If we don't win a cup by the time McDavid and Draisaitl expire, we might be entering the dark ages in oil city again.

Reasonings:
1. Klefbom to LTIR: honestly I think Klefbom's career is most likely done. Tragic way to end.
2. sign ville husso 6 x 6. Don't think St. Louis will be able to afford him since they also have to sign David Perron and also a BUNCH of forwards next year.
3. Chychrun trade: This is where **** hits the fan. I have no idea if this trade would actually pass or not...
4. Ceci trade: since ceci expires the same year as draisatil, I want to free up 3 mil in order to fill up the rest of the missing forward spots for this year.
5. rest of the forwards were just signed to fill the roster. I like ryan mcloed's play in the few games I watched.
