This is a very bad deal for the Oilers. There's no cap problem for the Oilers when Kane returns. They're right on the edge of the cap depending how many call ups they have. When they have extra call ups they are over the cap but don't accrue cap space with Kane on LTIR. When they send the right guys down they're under the cap and are accruing cap space. When Kane is back they can send an extra forward to Bakersfield and actually use Kane, so they're in a much better cap situation when he is back. Wahlstrom is a major downgrade from Kane, guys like him are very easily replaceable. If you took out the 1st round pick the Oilers would still say no to this.

It seems that with Kane predicted to come back sooner than expected they will be in cap hell.

To Edmonton---Wahlstrom

To Islanders----Kane, 2025 1st


There is one SLIGHT problem--oilers have not spent his money and due to the fact others have been tossed on the LTIR as well--they have a little cushion.

Also, how little looking into the deal oilers can not trade any of their next 2 1sts

Neutral fan here, amused to see the Islanders projected to "help"/ benefit from the Oilers' cap (-$304k) when the Isles are in the red by $2.94 million. Would the trade even be approved due to the cap?

I’m sorry . What does this mean ? No just this one for many years
Just seemed suspicious some told the OP to quit drinking Bud Light and you seemed to be insulted by it.

Why do you care if the OP dinks swill water

Wahlstrom btw has played himself into contention to hit the waiver wire with no other NHL team putting in a claim.

That was 2 seasons ago and nothing has changed.
I’ll agree he sucks now as much or more than he did 2 years ago. The difference now is that the whole league knows it and before it was our secret.

In other words, everyone knows it now, except Lou.
