No, I'm saying that the fact they signed a guy to a minor league contract who isn't on their NHL payroll doesn't help the argument that they are in cap trouble. he's not counted aganst the cap already so if they bring him up he dents the cap (as minimally as possible but still the better part of a million bucks). And that's the quality of additions they are going to have to make to stay under the cap. Pickard backed up just fine in the POs. A raw rookie? I doubt it.
Foegele is going to want $3-4M. Brown is going to want his $3M again. Janmark is going to want $2M. Those three guys were a huge part of their PO success (PKs).
Holloway is going to want $1.5M Broberg too. I hope they hold out. They will still need to replace Desharnais and Stecher.
Oilers are going to be worse next year.
