Pretty much exactly what I want to see too.If they can significantly upgrade on Ceci with a reasonable cap hit you do it via trade (not sold on Severson)...
Then you follow that up by trading ALL of Foegele, Yamamoto and Kulak.
That should leave you with:
1) A solid top 4 D after Ceci upgraded
2) Best first 5 forwards in the league
3) Gaps on the wing and potentially at 3C to be filled by cheap youth until deadline
4) At least $3M in cap space at the start of the season, which grows significantly by deadline.
Then you use that space at TDL to add an elite winger or shutdown C.
In short... hoping for a pretty quiet summer. I'd rather save cap and have it grow so that we can move the needle with a meaningful add(s) at the deadline. This team will be in a playoff position, so better to maximize our cap-spend now that we are out of LTIR.
Whatever or whomever it is, will likely be on a small value contract. We have literally next to nothing to play with for cap room.Curious to see what the consensus is on what we as fans think the Oilers should work on acquiring this off season
Trade your next 10 1st round picks to get those two at full double retention. The ride would be fun, but once its over hello decade of darkness my old friend.Josi and Saros

We need tenders.
Delicious, crispy tenders.
Worth it for cup.Trade your next 10 1st round picks to get those two at full double retention. The ride would be fun, but once its over hell decade of darkness my old friend.
Missed your post before I made mine. You and I are of the same mindset. The team needs goaltending that is able to make the big save in key moments. This team hasn't had good goaltending since Talbot in 16-17. Oiler fans have forgotten what it looks like and just accept that the shit we've seen for more than 1/2 a decade now is a norm.Nothing matters at all other than goaltending. Nothing.
We have rotated the tires for years now, no tending forget it.
