I think the key is how much they need for (a) a goalie; (b) RNH or a replacement and (c) Yamamoto. They tend to overpay for guys like the latter so we'll see.
There's no way they re-sign Barrie if Hamilton is there. They pretty much have to go with Larsson or someone like him (a LD version of Larsson to play with Bear would probably be the way to go).

You also have to factor in age of player when they resigned. Pietrangelo was 30 signing to 37. More declined years lowers cap hit. Dougie is 28 in a few days signing to 35. I bet if oilers sign him it $8.5 to $9 mil. I doubt $7.5 is an option
If you give dougie $9 might as well give nurse $9 mil too.
That is hard to manage next summer for them unless they prefer dougie over nurse
