Yeah but all of that is relatively easy to fill and the fact that he'll be on the team makes it alot easier to fill those positions as well. One of the biggest disadvantages the Oilers had was being able to attract free agents. Alot of that is self-inflicted but him being on the roster instantly makes Edmonton a much more attractive destination that it used to be.
