3.6 million in room according to CapWages but they still have 3 forward spots to fill.

Trading Kane saved them from being over.

So they sign Bouchard to 4 years but Frederic to 8 lol

If Bouchard was a superhero his name would be X-eyes.

3.6 million cap room left and have to sign 3 players to fill out the roster.

[D as in David]

Bouchard thinks he signed a contract with a $5.01M AAV.

[Locke]

This guy is terrible! He doesnt back-check...hell...he barely even takes strides in his own d-zone...brutal defender.

the thought is they will move either Henrique (I think they would have to pay an asset to move, but I might be wrong) or Arvidsson- they might be able to extract a minor asset?


so that could give them a bit more to play with (but another hole)


Perry must still be in play for 2M


or they move one of those guys above, go all in for Boeser, leave nothing left to change the goalies and run with likely 12F 7 D and no cap space or whatever they usually do

Man I really hope they run it back with this same team. They can't afford to do much else now.

Yet they get older.

Thanks,
I was looking at puckpedia and it looks like they had a few extra contracts on their roster

Bouchard clearly, since Ras would break after a few seconds when he mistakenly looks away because he thought Bouchard looked away over Ras' left shoulder...

PuckPedia has them with $550k left and one roster spot to fill. I don't know why the two websites are different.

I like it. Great signing. Allows them to keep the band together for one more year. Third time is the charm imo

Plus they are trading arvidson. So they'll be fine.

Everyone would be thrilled to have mcdavid at the current price, and most would be happy with Drai’s contract. But those two defenceman are such liabilities, it’s absolutely incredible that they are getting payed to be such a negative force

[Bonded]

That’s better for the oilers than I thought tbh

[EVERLAST]

Way to go Jimmy eyes!!!!

You Jimmy eyed pylon liability.
