That's not happening unless Darnell Nurse is going the other way.

Chia is trading all of McDavid's other buddies on the team, so... ;)

It could easily be something like Larsson + 1st, maybe add a Chia tax of Yamamoto.

$8.5 in room with Spooner buried, Sekera in the line-up and no raise in cap.

They can't sign a big ticket forward unless someone is willing to take Sekera or Lucic and send no cap back. Assuming a big ticket forward would even want to sign here.

That’s not true at all. We can easily end up with around 10 million to spend with a few moves.

Please illustrate said moves. That salary chart above shows the Oilers have to sign 1 back up goalie, 5 forwards and have roughly $8 million dollars to do that with, even assuming the cap rises by $3 million or so ... that's still very tight.

Buyout Spooner and Sekera and we gain over 4 million. Let Rieder walk there’s another 2. Dump one of manning or Benning there’s another 2. Let Petrovic walk there’s another 2. That’s roughly 10 million right there with no bump in cap without losing any consequential players.

That would be a catastrophic hit to our long term cap, we can't be weighing down our long term cap with that many more buy-outs. That's extremely short sighted thinking and in 2-3 years I gauruntee people are cursing the fact that we have like a ton of dead cap on players not even on the team.

1.6 mill next year for Pouliot and Gryba (whhhhhhy) for no real reason was stupid enough as is.

Those numbers are for 2019-20. Those guys have already "walked."

Spooner buyout is two years 1.333 Sekera is 2 years 2.5 then 2 years of 1.5. Within 2 years all but Sekeras 1.5 would be off the books.
