Trying to think of some cheap wingers that the oilers can add this summer. Feel free to add to the list. I listed what they made last year.
Nuge-McDavid- ? or rattie
? - Drai - ?
Lucic - strome- JP
Caggula-Khaira-Kassian
Aberg
Vanek - UFA - $2.5mil
Yakupov -RFA- $875k
Tkachev -unkown ?
Andres Anthanasiou - RFA -$1.39mil
Grabner - UFA - $1.65mil
Stafford - UFA -$800k
Kovalchuk - unkn0wn ?
-I have time for Vanek, but he has to be cheap, too one dimensional to pay him equal to what his production would normally entail.
-Yakupov is a ship that I think has sailed, no interest going back that direction as of yet.
-Tkachev- 110% onboard, might need one more year in Russia to make a fairly seamless transition to the NHL, but a good gamble he can handle some offensive minutes
-Athanasiou- not convinced Detroit wants to move him despite playing hard ball contract wise, but year I'd welcome him in open arms.
-Grabner- pushed for him big time in the past, completely want to pass on him now, most likely individual to be overpaid relative to what he brings IMO.
-Stafford- not at all impressed with my most recent viewings of him, would pass rather easily.
-Kovalchuk- from what I read he wants to be out east and wants $6M per, not a cheap option and not a realistic option.
