Basically they added $7 mil in cap space on forward and:
1) Didn't get a $7 mil player back or a core player
2) Didn't get a player/s that play whole seasons
3) Didn't fill any holes they needed on 1D, 2D, or 1G
So this is a headscratcher and not sure what the bigger question is...why did the Oilers do this and why do Oiler fans think this is good. Personally if I were them, I think they should have held off, maybe brought up AHL'ers, and kept the cap space for the TDL and gotten who they needed then.
