Thread: Oilers 2021 Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilers21</b></div><div>I like the addition of Coleman. That 3rd line is very expensive well mainly the two guys are. that 4th line is brutal Winnipeg walked all over the oilers bottom 6 you need a better 4th line if you plan on going far</div></div>

Yeah I don't expect any of this to actually happen, but I think Wennberg and Coleman are the two guys the Oilers should try hardest to get this offseason. Palmieri is a proven veteran and could slide into the top 6 and Yamo could slot down if needed, but I don't expect them to sign him, there are other options out there. As for the 4th line, Kahun is good, he was just being played on the 1st and 2nd line most of the season when in reality he's more of a bottom 6 forward. Archie plays good defensively and is able to lay the body. He doesn't make too many mistakes. Ennis is extremely fast and played better than Neal, Chiasson, Turris, etc this season who were all on the 4th line just as often if not more than he was. Obviously it's not perfect but they won't really have to do a whole lot other than keep the other team off the board and try to chip in with a goal every now and then.

Appreciate the feedback!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I like the overall strategy and all of the players you-ve targeted to sign. I only demur to the realism of the Palmieri signing -- I don't think he's going anywhere that they don't virtually guarantee him top-6 minutes.

That being said, the bottom 6 was exposed by Winnipeg and I think you're going to have to find some impact players there. But this is a good foundation from which to start.

P.S. Welcome to CapFriendly, by the way. This may be the best initial effort I've ever seen on CF.</div></div>

Thanks, man. I'm not expecting Palmieri to sign and there are other guys out there if he doesn't. If he does sign, he could easily rotate into the top 6 and Yamo or Pulju could come down (preferably Yamo).
