I can imagine Seattle trading picks to the Oilers so that they don’t have to take any one.

2 of those guys are on the same team...Vlasic has an NMC, but Burns may only have a 3 team trade list...maybe they could get a better return by dealing him (Florida?), but he is an intriguing possibility.

Others::
Voracek/JVR
Holtby

Yandle? Things are uncomfortable there, maybe he'd waive?...Ekblad+Weegar+______ - as it stands they'll need to expose Forsling, Nutivara, and Gudas.

I don't think NYI will have anything very juicy exposed...Dal Colle seems like the best? I bet they'd consider a sweetener to draft Ladd since there isn't much opportunity cost.

They've gotta stock an AHL team too most likely.

Say they take Voracek+ Holtby + one more $5M guy (T Johnson?) = 17.55M. Knocks the average from the other 27 down to 1.15M.

What’s with Seattle expansion talk in the E=NG thread?

Because E=so NG they think the expansion draft will save them.

(Cue Textcritic: ‘No one can save the Oilers. Not the expansion draft. Not the Kraken. No one.’)

This off season will be very interesting. Holland will have cap space and will have to go all in on a less than stellar ufa crop to appease McDavid. The chances of putting them back into cap hell is very likely.

No.

Not even the hilariously myopic delusional belief that the Seattle Kraken will somehow opt to draft James the Living Ponzi Scheme Neal in the Expansion Draft can save the Oilers.

No one can.

No one.

Edmonton is no good.

It seems like a lot of cap space but it's really not.
They have a bunch of cap opening up, assuming Barrie and RNH walk, but they also have a lot of players they need to sign including some massive holes to fill.
