Team: 2017-18 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 12, 2017

Published: Jul. 14, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

With LOTS of Cap Space this year, I say go for it. Sign (and trade for guys at the deadline) guys to 1 year contracts, add depth, and go for the Cup. If they dont get there, cut ties with the one year contract guys that you dont need and clear space to pay for the ones you do.
For the next few years, they will be tight to the cap, but with McJesus on the team, they will always be contenders.

Kane trade probably won't happen, but if they could get him, it would add scoring (which you can never have enough of).
Jagr signing to add experience to the line up.
Polak signing is more for playoffs. He's tough as nails and is good defensively.
Although they have good young players, when it comes to playoffs, you can never have enough depth. Injuries happen and can happen quick.

Totally agree with the concept; a team like Edmonton should go for it before they're forced to do a bunch of cost-cutting moves in the coming years. And I don't know what the Sabres are asking for Kane, but the return you've offered seems pretty fair for only one year of guaranteed service.
