On the main boards it was brought up in the oilers may move Yak threadlaugh:) that we had to trade one of our first overall picks in order to be competitive , at first I was mad and I let him have it , but then when I was going on and on trying to prove my side:
Lets just say RNH and Yak both take the 6 mill deals that Hall and Eberle both took
thats 24 mill in them
leaving us 40 mill to spend on the 8 other fwds , 6 D and 2 goalies
Hall (6) RNH (6) Yak (6) 18
?(4) ?(4) Ebs (6) 14
?(2) ?(3) ?(2) 7
?(1) ?(1) ? (1) 3
42 mill on fwds (high end ? Yes )
Schultz (5) ? (5) 10
Petry (4) smid (3.5) 7.5 - This is what I'm assuming Petry will sign after next year , 4 years 16 mill
? (2.5) ? (2.5) 5
22.5 on D
4 mill goalie
1 mill back up
5 mill
69.5 mill
as you can see there arnt many names filled in because I didn't want to get the " oh hes not worth this or that " or that there are no rookies on elc listed , this is what I see the high end of our costs and tbh it was cutting it a little close but if the salary does go up then we are looking pretty good and if not ... well... cut costs ?
Well heres the question , Is it possible in your vision of the Oilers for us to keep the big 5 or is it all but imminent that we lose one or two ?
