It's not a bad outcome for the Oilers given the inability to get Holloway and Broberg signed when it was gonna be cheap?
Broberg Holloway Ceci 4th
gone and replaced with
Emberson Podkolzin 2nd 3rd and 8.1 million in cap space
Have to say though it's been a fascinating and potentially horrifying off season given the lack of quality youth that remains on the roster
until we eventually see what the Oilers get to help their defense it's a substantial downgrade from Holloway Broberg to Podkolzin Emberson and even though they retained and obtained better quality scoring.... older legs and less speed in Henrique Skinner Arvidsson vs Foegele McLoed Holloway and losing Ceci Broberg and Desharnais without a quality addition on defense looks like more heavy lifting for the top guys.
2 forwards in their 20s McDavid and Draisaitl 3 if you count a guy who was 14th on the Canucks depth chart to end last year...yikes
