An all right-handed shot second unit powerplay. I like it.
I would switch Neal our for Hall
Move out Russell and Neal somehow

West coast guy, I can totally see him winding up in Seattle. But also waiting that 72 hours+ after taking a young d-prospect from the Oiler's area of strength (did I really just say that after a decade) and maximizing tradable assets and their own organizational depth. Build from the backend out ... the opposite of two+ failed Oiler rebuilds.
Anywho, this is an amazing day. Holland's killed it with the Barrie signing and the Oil finally have an elite PP quarterback and puck mover.

If he has a great year, I'd be tempted to re-sign him and let Seattle have Klefbom.

Love this contract. Holland doing a masterful job. A right handed C and RHD. Both taking major pay cuts with lots to prove. We are a good winger and a minute munching D away from contention.

Trade for Kuemper, sign Kahun, Toffoli, or Hall on a one year sweet heart show me deal.

Thats like Drai reacting right now, somewhere.
good get!
The amazing thing is that McD and Drai will produce even more now possibly. That they've done what they have without ever having a bonafide offensive D is astounding.

I can only imagine how ecstatic Drai / McDavid are knowing they finally have someone who can move the puck up to them.

I didn’t think we’d get him, what a relief. Holland did better this year than last, now about that goalie...

I agree on Bouchard but think Barrie is just using this opportunity to pump his numbers. Even if the Oilers want to re-sign him at a reasonable number, chances are that he'll sign elsewhere after next season to get the big pay day that Holland probably won't give him IMO. Regardless, this is a great signing for next season, worry about the other stuff later.

Is it possible Klef chooses surgery,,,and goes to LTIR
We sign Toffoli and some euro/soviet goalie on the cheap.
Lets go! What an awesome FA period for Kenny H with such limited space. To add Barrie, Turris, Puljujarvi and Ennis for the price he did is just fantastic.
Barrie should be an excellent option on PP1 and hopefully can contribute some 5v5 offense as well! Super stoked, low caphit and no risk in term. Love it.

Posted this in another thread, but this is a smart move by Barrie.
Barrie's time in Toronto was a trainwreck for all parties involved. Between Toronto being a bad fit and Babcock destroying his confidence and trying to make him change his game it was the worst case scenario. It'll be interesting to see if Barrie can bounce back to his peak with Colorado both offensively and defensively. Don't get me wrong Barrie isn't some defensive stalwart and he does make some questionable decisions, but overall his defensive game was average.
His 2018-19 playoffs he played 24 minutes a game in the playoffs and was our #1 defender that run. He isn't a #1 defender but in the right system he still can be a great #2/3. I will say this, don't expect Barrie to provide amazing great stretch passes because that isn't his game. He'll still be a huge boon the transition game, but the majority of his transition game is skating with the puck or making simple passes.

To be comfortable I'd like a 2LD if Klefbom is gone, not Russell.
