That leaves them with about $11M to play around with still, needing to sign 2 forwards and another d-man. So they do have some room to make another splash if they wanted to but that's only if ownership is willing to buyout both Koskinen and Neal.
If they don't buyout Koskinen and Neal then they will just be able to squeeze in Barrie, as they'd really only have Klefbom's LTIR room to play with.

This would be glorious. $11M but they need to sign Barrie, so that's $5 million, leaving $6 for a new goalie and the remaining forwards, or forwards a Smith/Stalock goalie combo.
Nurse - Bear
Keith - Barrie
Russell - Bouchard
Smith
Stalock
That could be one of the worst defense and goalie combos the NHL has seen in quite some time. Oilers gonna set a modern-day GAA record.
