Hope we look at a couple of the high pedigree buyout guys on one year trials and sign Janmark. But I hope we sit back and let things settle.

There will be teams who miss out on guys who might be a market for guys like Kane and Ceci. Lots left out there on the UFA market to fill out depth roles.

Without moving cap we don’t have room for either Henrique or Walker. 7.9 mill, 6 players needed for a roster.
Can always move out money later if need be or even now. Teams have gone over the cap before during free agency then became cap compliant for the season.

We can run a player short as usual, or 2 short if we’re feeling wild and crazy. Might get us in The conversation. I’d give Henrique 6 years like Tanev, because who GAF? Why let the leafs have all the fun

Could you imagine Vancouver coming to us because they missed out on everyone, only to get Kane and Ceci for some picks and prospects, just so they can save face? LOL. I'd love to see it.

I never thought Debrusk was coming here and I was fine with that. Him going to Vancouver though is worst case scenario if his old man is going to continue to be forced on Oiler fans. I’m already bummed out about next season and it has nothing to do with the team.

I’d be fine keeping Kane on a line with Draisaitl and Arvidsson. Good combination of size, speed and grit on that line. We’ll see though, the bridge might already be burned if we have shopped him and asked him to waive his NMC

Kane will be over his hernia and possibly healthy. Wouldn't get rid of him. I'd give him a chance this upcoming season.

What 6 players are you talking about?

Henrique 4.5m possibly
Janmark 1.5m or less

That still leaves 1.9m.

Let’s get things straight, I don’t hate Kane the person. Kane at 5M is too expensive and is rapidly declining as a player (as many do who play his style). This past year, a majority of his goals came early in the year against non playoff teams. When competition got tougher, he couldn’t score. He isn’t that player that was here in year 1. That was outlier Kane. I’m not going to get into it here again, but money is better spent elsewhere.
he played with a sport hernia for most of the year

let's see what he's like fully healthy before jumping to conclusions

The cap goes up by a decent amount for the first time in years and GMs lose their damn minds!

That Tanev contract for the Leafs is hilarious.

Just get Janmark done now and Holloway re-signed and fill the rest of the forward roster with 800 k fodder, get Broberg re-signed add a 800k 7th man

I know it’s not for everyone but I greatly suggest finding away streams (at least when Jack isn’t on). Sportsnet has terrible coverage for the Oilers. Only decent was after games in the Finals.

If enough people stop watching, they might make changes

Louie is trash and will be unbearable now. It’s just not worth watching through that
