I’m assuming based on the moves today it’s gotta be Ceci out? If Broberg and Holloway sign for 850k a piece, you can barely fit

Nuge - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Arvidsson
Skinner - Henrique - Brown
Holloway - McLeod - Janmark
Perry

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Broberg
Kulak - Brown
Stecher

Skinner
Pickard

DISCOUNT BABY. Yup Henrique loved our crowd. Another perk of having the greatest fanbase in hockey. Lets never forget for belief and hope can only lead to good things.
Correctly worded...another perk for having Connor MCDavid.

JJ doing everything while other GMs said it was too hard. Guess it kind of helps when you're 1 goal away from winning the cup and have guys on the team actively recruiting their buddies to play here.
It also helps when you get to game 7 of the SCF with most of the core intact but either way it’s been one hell of a July 1.

Can I be critical?

I’d rather have Boqvist over Stetcher. He’s never played on a good team and we can fix him. Go get him?

As RFAs don't Broberg and Holloway get like a 10% increase or something like that?

In purgatory
Would you give a team Holloway if they took Ceci off our hands?
Straight up no. I'm not convinced of Holloway's offence, I think at best he tops out as a good 3rd line, 15-15-30 point guy who's aggressive on the forecheck. But to throw him in just for someone to take Ceci is not good asset management.

I really don't like Ceci's defending at times but it's true he isn't as horrific when he's away from Nurse. If they can't find a taker I guess they'll sit with him on the roster. Seeing what other middle pairing guys were pulling in FA though, I don't know if you can get rid of him and still be able to improve on those minutes with whomever you bring in. Almost just a lateral move at best. I'd really like to see Stecher given a good try stapled to Nurse.

Outstanding day for the Oilers, truly.

I wonder if they move out Ceci and maybe Kulak, would Barrie come back on a $1Mx1yr deal.

Also the ducks are $8.8M below the floor (I think) Kane or Ceci (or both?) there makes some sense

Yep. I guarantee when Brown was debating whether or not to take the money, his standing ovation played more than a small role.
100% and without that, I very much doubt we see the Brown we saw in the playoffs or the Brown resigning. With such a shitty year, he had plenty of reasons to move on.

Also, Stauffer might be as connected as he used to be again. He called a lot of this
I think with Holland out, he starts to get back to where he was, in terms of connected on the inside.

From what I understand, after he called out Holland during that intermission segment, he got ousted by KH hard and was shut out from insider knowledge, but that's slowly been creeping back due to JJ taking over.
