It could be possible to keep Brodie, sign Barrie, keep Talbot, and extend Mangiapane. There would still be enough space to re-sign Kylington and Reider, and then maybe even make one more smaller UFA signing.
I'm not sure how happy people would be if they Flames basically kept the same forward group.

I think Barrie checks everything the Oilers are looking for. Doesn't play defense, formerly a big name, may be willing to come go the Oilers if you throw enough money at him...
This is the kind of player that will give Holland credibility in sweat pants land and allow the regular fan boys drool about the potential offensive skill, zone exits, worlds best ever PP etc.
