Farabee - ??? - Coronato feels like it would be a fun line.

I’m not sure he’s cooked just yet based on those comments. Admittedly, I don’t watch the Ducks and, for whatever it’s worth (not much), been a complete non factor in my fantasy hockey league for years…..

The only expiring UFA contract the Oilers have over $1M is Skinner at $3M, the rest of their expiries are $1M or less which means you aren't really saving money because a replacement player costs the same amount.
Draisaitl needs a $5.5M raise and then Bouchard likely gets a $6M raise.
There goes all the salary cap expiries and the entire cap increase. Then they have McDavid's raise to worry about the season after.
Oilers can't really fit in even the $3.2M that Gibson would cost longer term if they retained, and that doesn't even consider the extra acquisition cost it would take to get Anaheim to retain a full 50% for 3 seasons.
