Cap wages if you add AM has the Oilers under a million bucks left if Savoie Tomasek and some other disposable yeoman are bought up the roster to round them to 12 forwards. Or about 3 million I think if they want to free agent sign three depth forwards.
That also leaves them with 8 blue liners.
This is an old team, Savoie has to be their savior, and they don't have money to imporve, and they really don't have tradable assets. They also have to freak out about McDavid signing.
Looking at the lineup on the previous page, even with Mags added on, its not a great forward group and Draisaitl and McDavid will have to drag that offense. That blueline looks awful and badly over paid.
I would say that if they don't make changes, this is the team in the pacific that I think will have the biggest fall.
