Cap space is valuable if they are able to use it properly. I think they were smart not to match the offersheet and this is why i called Blues offersheet as a checkmate. Blues knew what they were doing and got an absolute steal for a 2nd and 3rd round pick which i wished Canucks would have done.They can add an 8.8M contract at the deadline with 50% retention if they accrue with the cap space they currently have. I know people want to act like Ceci is some solid Dman after everyone for years (including myself) shit on him for playing way over his head on the 2nd pairing, but the Oilers have plenty of cap to get a massive upgrade on him at the deadline.
Hughes-Hronek
Soucy-Broberg
Myers-Forbort
That would have been a pretty solid group imo. With Broberg having upside and being young and in the right age group.
I really doubt that unless you are trading for one. Free agency means you are overpaying a bit to get the player.The issue is that at 2 mils/year one should be able to get a D-man which is better than Vinny.
