It is going to be hard to trade Evander with that NMC also this is only a 21 man roster

I'm not sold the oilers move on especially if Dri is hurt

Pretty sure 21 is allowed no? Obviously 20 isn't but I think plenty of teams run a 21 roster at certain points of the year. I tried to keep Kane either in Canada or on the west coast, I feel like if either of those are hit then theres ok odds of him allowing a deal

I don't blame you for thinking that one bit, I actually think I'm a bit insane for thinking that Edmonton wins in 6 or 7 but I'm ready to be let down again! I just don't want us to see escaping this Vancouver series as a sort of "win" for us when it means nothing. Drai is only dealing with cramps so I think he will be fine but I don't think that matters with Skinner not being reliable and Nurse-Ceci being a free goal for the Miller line everytime they step on the ice. Canucks will probably win and Canucks fans should fully believe that, I just don't want our issues to get overlooked if Edmonton gets lucky due to being pp merchants at times and if we somehow escape this series due to Demko being out

You might be right accutally I thought it had to be 22/23

Hardest part about trading Kane would be the NMC and most likely have to take back some cap.

That Brown signing bonus sucks no idea how he flopped so bad

Perron may want more money than that, for how well he has been doing.. maybe he takes a little less to win a cup, as he is 35, but who knows. Besides that, yah I agree that the Brown bonus sucks. We should trade Kulak, and resign Desharnais to play bottom pair with Broberg as well. I do like the UFA targets though.. to be honest, Perron totally slipped out of my mind! Didn’t think of him before this.

Yeah I think its just preference between Kulak or Desharnais, I prefer Kulak over him so I'd rather us keep him but it can go either way. I just feel as if Kulak is better for Broberg over Desharnais in his development

I’m not huge on the hawks trade, we are done eating other teams cap problems. To change that, I would want 25 and 26 firsts.

Bonuses are already accounted for by Capfriendly, no need for the Brown placeholder.

Would you do the 4th + Forsberg for Kane?

Oh sweet really where does it list the bonus

After hearing that the bonus is already accounted and we have 3.25 million to work with, yeah maybe. Either half retained or we can flip him to a third team but I understand the Sens desire to dump him

Sharks say "Si! Si!"
Upgrade for us.

In the Cap breakdown there's a row labeled "Overages" that accounts for any bonuses from the previous season.

Make that 26 and 27

Even better.

Fair. I like Desharnais' defensive game more than Kulak's, and that would also give us roughly about 1M in cap to either match some offers on the UFA's, or run a 23 man roster. I have a question for you.. from oilers fan to oilers fan, would you trade Skinner, to get an actual reliable starter? I'm curious, because a lot of people say no, because they like Skinner too much, which I do too, but I see it as you have to do whatever you can to get a cup, instead of playing favorites.

You've counted the bonuses twice. Your top-4 is slower, as is your forward corps.

Why discard Kane and Ceci for nothing? Both players have value... not a fan of paying Foegele for 4 years either, or Henrique / Perron for two. Ned isn't better than Pickard.
