Oiler UFA's and RFA's: Who do you keep? 2019 edition

[ThePhoenixx]

Looks like a GM will be here soon so it's that time of year again. Here are last years results.

Oiler UFA's and RFA's: Who do you keep?

Please no bashing or anything. Just wondering who everyone thinks is worth keeping and for how much.

Here's the gang:

RFA:

Tobias Reider: 2.0 mil QO
Ty Rattie: 840k QO
Jujhar Khaira: 743k QO
Jesse Puljujarvi: 972k QO

UFA:

Alex Chaisson: Made 650k
Alex Petrovic: Made 1.95 mil
Kevin Gravel: Made 700k
Anthony Stolarz: Made 760k
Al Montoya: Made 37k
Brad Malone: Made 650k

RFA:

Tobias Reider: 2.0 mil QO - GONE
Ty Rattie: 840k QO - GONE
Jujhar Khaira: 743k QO - KEEP
Jesse Puljujarvi: 972k QO - KEEP

UFA:

Alex Chaisson: Made 650k - Depends, if he tries to push his luck, punt him
Alex Petrovic: Made 1.95 mil - GONE
Kevin Gravel: Made 700k - KEEP
Anthony Stolarz: Made 760k - Shop for a backup but he might be all that's available
Al Montoya: Made 37k - GONE
Brad Malone: Made 650k - GONE

If Todd Nelson is Holland's pick as coach I got maybe some time for Puljujarvi. Kid may be dumb as bricks but even Yakupov seemed to gain some traction under Nelson.

I think honestly as sad as it is a 1B veteran goalie has to be priority no.1. You may have to look at a Mike Smith or Brian Elliot.

This team isn't good enough as is now to even have a prayer of doing anything without good goaltending.

Then move on to the AHL caliber winger group and see what can be done there.

 

[Spawn]

I'd offer qualifying offers to Khaira and Pulju.

Chiasson I'd offer a contract similar to the one Maroon signed with the Blues this past season. 1 year at $2M tops.

I'd offer Rieder a 1 year 1M deal after not tendering a qualifying offer.

I'd sign Gravel and Malone to 2-way deals.

The rest can go.

 

[belair]

Puljujarvi and Khaira are no brainiers. If Chiasson wants more than Kassian, he can kick rocks. If Petrovic is willing to play at home for under a mil, sure. Everyone else? Buh bye.

 

[Snowpants]

Khaira and Puljujarvi only from RFAs. For UFAs Chiasson (would go as high as 3 mill) and Stolarz (need a goalie and I think he can rebound with first healthy summer in years).

 

[blue_n_copper]

Khaira, Pulijarvi, Chiasson and maybe Gravel if we trade a veteran dman for forward help. Everyone else can go.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Khaira
Puljujarvi
Gravel

Chiasson if he signs for 1.5M or less I’d keep him.
Malone seems to be a good veteran for Bakersfield and an ok callup.

 

[PaPaDee]

I’d qualify Khaira and JP, but would try to move JP in the offseason.

Malone is the only UFA I’d bring back for the AHL.

 

[nabob]

JP and JJ are an easy yes.

I’d offer both Petrovic and Gravel the minimum and see who accepts it. If neither do it’s no real loss.

Offer Chiasson 1 year - 2 million.

I hope they can find a better backup than Stolarz.

 

[Captain Controversy]

I agree with everyone here more or less. I would keep Toby. He will bounce back.

 

[McDrai]

Khaira, Puljujarvi, and Gravel. I would re-sign Rieder for cheap as well but after the whole Bobby Burgers situation I don't think that will be happening

 

[North]

Khaira, Pulijarvi, Chiasson and maybe Gravel if we trade a veteran dman for forward help. Everyone else can go.

Pretty much this for me but I would sign Malone to an AHL only deal if he'd accept.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Pretty much this for me but I would sign Malone to an AHL only deal if he'd accept.

What world do you think a guy who played NHL games this year would sign an AHL deal?

 

[North]

What world do you think a guy who played NHL games this year would sign an AHL deal?

He doesn't belong in the NHL as evidence by this season and I don't want to waste a contract spot on him.

I did say if he would accept because I do understand he had a two way deal this year. Not sure what was hard to understand about my post.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Puljujarvi if you can't trade him, and Chiasson

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

I would keep Chiasson, Khaira, and Puljujarvi. Obviously try to trade Puljujarvi before he's completely into bust status. Maybe Reider if we can get him dirt cheap, not scoring a goal must not give you much to negotiate with lol.

 

[RebuildTheRebuild]

Echoing others saying Puljujarvi and Khaira. I'd keep Gravel on with the same contract as 7th dman. Then with Chiasson giving him a contract of 1 yr for 2 million. If he wants more then let him work.

I didn't vote for him due to his QO but Rieder is someone that I would consider bringing him back. Scoring 0 goals is unlucky (but he was bad too) so he doesn't really have much negotiating power after that. I'd sign him to a 1 yr contract that can be buried in the minors seeing if he can bounce back which I think he can. He scored at least 12 goals in each of the previous seasons.

 

[GOilers88]

Khaira, JP and Chiasson.

Dump the rest.

 

[Dan Kelly]

I voted to keep Khaira, Chaisson and Gravel as the #7 d-man. Trade Puljujarvi.

This looks good to me though I might offer Rattie a QO and I suspect that they will let Rieder walk. I'd do what you say though and try to get him signed for one year at a number that you can bury if need be.

 

[Tyrolean]

Khaira is useless I wouldn't qualify him.
