We could but since they are on the active roster right now, we aren’t accruing.Can’t we just waive them and send them down?
Big disagree. I think that this team's got a pretty substantial window leading into the later years of McDavid and Draisaitl's next contracts. And as an Oilers' fan, I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to see this team salt the Earth during their tenure here.
If your team is good enough to win in this league, Calvin Pickard can be their starter if he's giving them good starts. You don't always need a name.
Bowman could only overpay for Jones because Holland got Keith, who demanded a trade only to Edmonton, without getting Bowman to retain any money. Like we were his only destination.He overpaid Nurse because Bowman overpaid Jones and set the market.
We than reward that by…hiring Bowman.
What happened to the accrued space from before?We could but since they are on the active roster right now, we aren’t accruing.
I don't think they ever accrued all that much.What happened to the accrued space from before?
Don't forget that the only reason Bowman was able to overpay Jones was because Holland paid to take the corpse of Duncan Keith off their hands.He overpaid Nurse because Bowman overpaid Jones and set the market.

Klingberg.What happened to the accrued space from before?
Special thanks goes to Kenny for extending him to term. A player like that bounces around from team to team for a good reason. They should've exercised more caution and signed him to fewer years.According to Elliott F, Kane and the Oilers are certainly at odds over his return. This won't end well.
There's probably 6 teams that can go all in and win it all this year and that includes the Oilers despite the 5 games skidColorado should go all in this year, they have a good chance of coming out of the West if they do I think.
Vegas is gonna be tough especially if Adin Hill elevates his game like he tends to do in the playoffs (.930+ even last year). Last year they were gassed from winning the Cup, but a year removed from an early exit and that issue is likely resolved at least.
Winnipeg has collapsed the previous couple of years, but they do have a new coach/system this year, this could be their year like last year was ours with a new coach/system to eek through.

Oh, and they gave Nurse a bridge 2 years prior to extend…..Alex Chiasson. Lmao.
My deadline prediction is something like
2nd+Akey for Donato
3rd for McCarron
5th for a depth D like Rutta or Cholowski
Yes, it's underwhelming as f***.
By the sounds of things, the Oilers have hamstrung themselves into ensuring that they can't go all in.There's probably 6 teams that can go all in and win it all this year and that includes the Oilers despite the 5 games skid

I await the excuses from their shitty media.

Sounds about right. People really shouldn't evaluate Holland with rose coloured glasses. He was just as big of a f***up as Chiarelli.Didn't Holland bridge Nurse to he could use that money to then extend Zack Kassian, who he then had to pay to trade away? lol.
The Oilers were basically Kane’s last chance. I hope what’s being reported isn’t true or is exaggerated. If he in fact has also now alienated the Oilers organization / team then that’s probably it for him.
I've doing a complete reversal after begging the oilers to go out and get a goalie. The problem is that we have no cap space now and the market sucks.
The asking price for Gibson is apparently really high.
Binnington and the blues are 1 point out of a playoff spot.
Vejmelka is Utah's starter and 2 points out of a playoff spot.
Not sure if mentioned yet Seravalli speculating Mrazek to Edmonton as a good fit today on Daily Faceoff.
"I think if there's a team out there, Edmonton, that could use a guy like that. They're not looking for anything so future considerations to the Chicago Blackhawks, you trade something-a third/fourth round pick to another team to have them retain half for this year and next and you get Mrazek at sub $2.5M this year and next. I think whether it's Carolina or Edmonton, it makes a lot of sense."
If this is true then Kane is likely putting himself before the team and we are basically f***ed because we gave out NMC's to Skinner and Arvidsson.According to Elliott F, Kane and the Oilers are certainly at odds over his return. This won't end well.
