Potentially? What are some examples of cheap talented players you guys could get? You’re up right against the cap and only have a few more years with draisaitl and mcdavid. In a must go for it situation. Price probably a little high but it’s gonna be tough to fill out a roster and sign Bouchard with 5mil in cap space.
Brown, JVR, Paccioretty, Fast, Dadonov for UFA’s alone can sign for around Vrana. They could take a flyer on him, but with his past problems and small sample size, I doubt the Oilers pay that high a price. Other options may open up like Schmaltz, Konecny, Arvidsson etc on the trade market as well, even if we have to pay a bit more with Yamo on top, they’re more viable options, especially with being right shots and we’d make the cap work.
Also Yamo isn’t some 30 year old player making 5 mill. He’s young, still has some potential if implemented in the right system and only making 3.1 mill for ONE more year. It won’t cost a 2nd to ship him out.
