The Oilers don’t have their 2025 1st. Also, this is dumb.

Kane was never predicted to be out long term. It wasn’t that serious of an injury.
How are they in cap hell? He can return and they can send down someone to the AHL and put Kapanen back on waivers.

Bud Light ? A beer I would not sip if givin to me for free
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.

Some say…
We’re not in cap hell, and there’s nothing wrong with Kane’s contract. I wouldn’t even do it if you took the 1st out

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?
