you forgot bonus carry over.

I also dont think the oilers would entertain the ARZ trade.

also cap is supposed to be around 87.7

Every where I go I see different numbers for the cap ceiling for next year so just keeping it $88,500,000

I am saying the oilers probably still want to give holloway and broberg another season since they will be cheap. I see them moving ceci or kulak to make room for broberg to actually play.

here from the nhl (duplicated on almost every major media outlet) 87.7M I believe it is written into the CBA how high the cap can go in 1 season and this would be the max as 87.7

Soderstrom isn't better than Broberg, but even if we consider them being the same value you're giving up Ceci and Holloway for a $2.75M backup and a 3rd. That's a really poor value trade. Why not just re-sign Pickard?

Kulak has more value himself than Burroughs, so again a poor value trade. That's without even considering the 4th.

I would suggest that you have the same problems due to poor asset management, just like Chiarelli. Poor asset management put the organization in a bad spot; more poor asset management is not going to get them out of it.
