After FA day today I was looking at some cap issues with several teams. The Oilers still have $5.7M left but only have 18/23 positions signed. They have 2 interesting RFA contracts to negotiate Holloway/Broberg that should probably eat up most of that, unless they play hardball and give them minimum raises (even though they were 2 of the better players during the PO's).
Hopefully they end up with the same situation that Bouchard has them in, forced to take a bridge deal, totally blow up and play great, then cause the Oil more issues in a couple years. Never change Oilers.
