Thread: Lets fix this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jtcurls</b></div><div>Toronto will want more for the 3 guys they are moving. Yes they are in salary cap he’ll but they are in win now mode and you only offer 1 guy in Benning who would make next years roster.

Eathan bear is a similar prospect to what they have in sandin and lillegren already.

Don’t want picks and prospects.

Deal built around Larsson, Kadri, Brown and maybe Kapanen would work but if Kapanen included it would need to be a first plus a 3rd</div></div>

I agree that Toronto would want more, however Toronto doesn’t have cap space to sign Kapanen, so I figured Oilers could either offer sheet him which would only cost them a second, or trade for him. (Valued as 2nd plus Bear)
Kadri is not in the good books with his team, so I thought he would come a bit cheaper. (Valued as Benning, Khaira, Puljujarvi)
Brown could probably be had for the 3rd round pick

I think this works well for both teams, helps Toronto get out of cap hell with cheaper younger players. Oilers get some decent forwards to balance out the lineup.
Oilers take on $11 million in contract, while sending about $4million to Toronto. So that’s $7 million in savings for them to put towards signing Marner!

I could see possibly adding a mid to late round pick, or Gambardella to Toronto

I don’t see Larsson getting traded. Oilers can’t afford to overpay in free agency for a top 4 right shot defenceman

Thread: Possibilities
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJ87</b></div><div>I like it as an oilers fan. There’s not much they can do realistically this offseason and that would improve their wingers significantly compared to last year. Oilers aren’t gonna be buying anyone out so I’m glad to see you didn’t either.</div></div>

It doesn’t make sense to buy anyone out. It might help this year, but it hurts the team in the long run.
Lucic is a Solid 4th liner, if you buy him out, you just use the saved cap room to fill that spot anyway. I’m not willing to package puljujarvi on any deal just to give away contracts, and get nothing in return.
You could get Lucic to waive his NMC before the expansion draft so he doesn’t count towards protected players, or give a pick to Seattle if they take him.
No point blowing up the team just yet.
Just add a few pieces that they need. Give some young guys an opportunity to push for a roster spot.
