I don't think the Oilers skeleton is too far off, but where are they supposed to find the cap?
Hyman-McDavid-Puljujarvi
RNH-Draisaitl-BLANK
Foegele-BLANK-Yamamoto
Holloway-McLeod-Kassian
Nurse-Ceci
BLANK-Bouchard
Keith-Barrie
BLANK
Skinner
Okay so you can see where the issues lie and it's all with Ken Holland.
Keith, Barrie, Kassian all making too much money and are replaceable with Broberg, Lagesson, Sceviour, cheaper veterans etc. Giving Smith that extra year was just so dumb.
They really only need a 1G, a top four LHD, a 3C, and a top six RW, but have so many guys whose cap hits are bad that I have no idea how they're supposed to get there.
Is Holloway the 3C? I mean, maybe? He's missed so much time.
The saddest thing is they seemed to have only five holes last offseason and Holland only successfully plugged one in my eyes.
