Thread: Realistic cap management with strengthen team also room for future improvements
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mk458</b></div><div>There's nothing realistic about this, and I'm an oilers fan.

Washington isn't trading Kuznetsov for RNH, who could be available in free agency anyways. And RNH certainly isn't signing for a 5.5 million cap hit.

Jones doesn't get us debrusk, although I'd we add a pick that trade has some potential.

Seattle is probably scared off by Kassians cap hit for 3 more years, we probably lose someone else.

Yamamoto doesn't sign at that cap hit for 4 years, probably 2 years.

Grubauer almost certainly stays with Colorado.

And Mike Smith has probably earned a slight pay raise (maybe a 2 million dollar cap hit), but who knows what he'll sign for honestly.</div></div>

FLAT CAP era will show us some crazy stuff this year more so than last year I guess, all these things could happne....AS for Washisgton, colorado and Boston, cap crunch is coming, no one wanna lose good players but agian you have to choose who you can keep and who is going to walk so better get some prospects than nothing

Thread: Realistic 2021-22 and room for improvement
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Nugent-Hopkins isn't taking the same AAV without longer than 4 years committed to him. He'll likely be one of the top free agents and will get more than that.

If Hyman signs that deal, it's in Toronto. He's not leaving. Team loves him. Hyman loves the team. They have the room for him. He's not moving anywhere.

Ullmark likely gets longer term, and it's not high enough AAV for him if he's moving to Canada due to the slightly higher tax rate.

All valid points, I don't mind 6x5 or 5.5x8 for RNH, he is good player but not great, he was signed in era when oilers were throwing money, looks at what Eberle got in NYI, also HAll also find the team, so its safe bet RNH take a oay cut of bet on himself for 203 yr deal with years till salary cap is extended again

As for Goalie, I think this eyar is crucial for Oilers, they are becoming real contenders now and I hope some goalie realizes this and come over to win a ring rather than look for jus the money. but I expect the Mike Smith to stay and Koskinen will be dealt with retained salary or something

&amp; that's a massive overpay for Tyson Barrie. He's really not that good. He's helped out by playing top PP minutes with McDavid and Draisaitl. He's a defensive liability and makes poor shot decisions in the offensive zone. He's not worth anything over $4M and teams are gonna overpay cause they're blindsided by point totals</div></div>
