I don’t understand the Oilers B+

- Shipped out two young solid Dmen in Jones and Bear who were decent defensively for the Oilers and bring in Keith who is a shell of his former self and should be a bottom pair dman at this point in his career, and grossly overpay Cody Ceci who is a PTO level player for 3 years.
- Re-upped a to be 40 yr old Mike Smith to anchor the goaltending duo for two years.

- Grossly overpay Zach Hyman who possess very little upside over what he has shown since he played primarily with Matthews/Marner.

- Spend all remaining cap flexibility for the following year on a 8 yr/$9.25MM AAV contract on a 2/3 defenceman.

These aren’t good moves, what am I missing here?
