Tough choice. My heart says to go all in since they were SO CLOSE this year.
And yet...
This last round seems to suggest they're in trouble when their two gamebreakers struggle. They can't cover up the deficiencies and have seemed outmatched for long stretches. When Crosby didn't score, at least Malkin did.
It completely depends on what is available, honestly. If you get a replacement top-6 center and a proven goalie, go for it. Otherwise, I would just stay put. The oilers NEED a good goalie, though... Saros? Ullmark? Someone like that.
EDIT:
It doesn't even have to be an elite goalie. Just someone nice and stable.
