Russell is pretty smart, he's coming off of a good season and he was one of their better defenders in the second round. He's gonna want to cash in Son.

With the Oilers at 60 million right now, if Draisatil gets 7.5 and Russell gets 4.5 that puts them at $72 million, Zach Kassian will probably want a good deal coming off of his show me deal so I would expect that he's going to ask for 2.8 ish. So thatts almost 75 million.

They might have to make the choice of trying to dump some salary now if they want to keep a guy like Russell.
They are actually at $50 million with 9 F, 5 D, and 2 G signed.
