Hoffman, Granlund, Kahun, Athanasiou, Duclair, one of you take a short term loss for long term gain!
Not sure why we'd go after AA again. Been there, done that, and it was not good.

Aren’t we pretty much out of cap space?
Technically we could make space just by reaching the roster limit. I believe we are over it by a couple so that frees up space when we send guys down. Then again, depending on how covid goes maybe we have to carry more extrasMore or less, but depending on what they sign Bear for they should have enough cap with Klef on LTIR for a 1.5 to 2 mill player. They could also add some league min type guys since they can send other players down to the minors for around the same cap.
Cheap offensive production/skill for the wing.
I'm happy with one of Granlund, Kahun or Duclair on a short term deal, for as cheap as possiblee!
maybe we're one of the 5 teams Hoffman is waiting for to clear cap

Honestly though, if the Oilers were to offer him the same contract they offered Hall (4.75M x 1), all things being equal, is there any better option for him than the Oilers? The prospect of playing on the best player in the world's wing and getting top minutes on the best power play in recent history has gotta be pretty enticing if you're looking to bolster your numbers for a big payday.
no thank youLaine plus for RNH plus
Laine plus for RNH plus
I think if the Oilers were able to make that kind of cap space, they would have done it already. Russells NTC and Klefs status being up in the air are working against us here. Holland doesn't seem like the type to negotiate from a position of weakness.
We were "out" on Hall before we signed Barrie from what I remember according to twitter. I can't imagine us making that same offer to anyone else now.
I think people are figuring in that LTIR of 4.2Aren’t we pretty much out of cap space?
If you can get Kahun in that 1M range then just leave Nygard in Europe.Aren’t we pretty much out of cap space?
If we can get him cheap enough he would still be an asset. Worst case scenario we trade him to someone for a draft pick. Holland is probably pursuing LH shot D vets instead to help cover the Klefbom void.Not sure why we'd go after AA again. Been there, done that, and it was not good.
And frankly, I am not sure where the next Ovechkin talk comes from either. In his first 4 years in the League Ovechkin scored 219 goals vs Laine's 138 goals. Ovie had 3 100+ point seasons. Laine has topped out at 70.You seem to believe you see something no one else can see, so show us. Go to capfriendly.com, use the armchair GM mode under the 21-22 season with an 81.5 cap, give Laine even just 10 million, and make sure to give Nurse, Yamo, and Bear realistic contracts. Show us how your lineup looks. I’d love to have the next Ovechkin too, but it’s easier said than done.
