2.43M/yr for Jussi if you count the deadcap from Pou. Still pretty good
Great news!
I hope Chia isn't finished yet though.
we should be done up front assuming Caggiula and Slepychev are locks for next season.
Maroon-McD-Strome
Lucic-Drai-Slepy\Caggiula
Jokinen-RNH-Puljujarvi
Slepy\Caggiula-Letestu-Kassian
Khaira
Pakarinen
Puljujarvi wont be spending the entire season in the AHL. If he gets sent down for a month or 2 we can get by with Kassian playing 3RW and Pakarinen or Khaira drawing in.
Adding another UFA may force us to waive one of Pakman or JarJar

I think this signing is opening up the door for an RNH deal. I really think the Oil consider Strome to be a center and the Jokinen signing allows him to play there. Driaisaitl needs his own line and Jokinen a good option on the top unit, which to me indicates RNH could be on the way out as soon as Drai is signed.
RNH for Barrie? ( makes sense for Col if Duchene gets traded for a dman)
What would we do without ST?
Not necessarily. He posted about the minor trade deadline deal so it doesn't necessarily have to be a big name.
I think Jokinen is a better fit but Jagr is a fun idea. Would prefer a better skater but both of these guys have some game left and would be a nice addition. I'd love to see Jagr on a line with Drai and Lucic, the other team would never get the puck although this line would get killed by speed.
Also, forgot that Jokinen is Finnish. He'd be a great mentor for Pulju so he makes sense on a lot of levels.
If Jokinen can play C, I'd trade a pick for James Neal and flip RNH for a PMD

No we have more like a 6.4 million realistic with Draisaitl signing 7.5 M and McDavid sure to hit bonus 2.85 m , and we still have another 4.6 m in bonus potential although these seems less likely to max . So team is probably looking at a 4 million cushion right nowI think we are now looking at the oilers opening night forwards. We have 18 mill in cap space. 3 mill will go towards bonuses for 97. 8 mill for Leon leaves us with 7 million plus sekera's LTIR relief
If we wanted, we could sign Markov to a 1 year 7 or 8 mill contract
Where's this from? lol
Agreed but I doubt it will be this season.RNH will only be traded if Draisaitl is locked up imo

Neither of which would be any kind of loss that couldn't be solved by signing another cheap 4th line player. I know we love to covet the players that we drafted, but neither of these guys are going to make it past a possible bump to the third line because of injuries, imo.
