I feel like the oilers absolutely need to pick up a winger this offseason who will score atleast 20 goals so the oilers can run two lines that are actual threats.
What does everyone think Dzingel or Zuccarello gonna command in free agency? I’d be all over Dzingel at 6.5 on. 5 year or something
Xxx-mcdavid-draisaitl
Xxx-Nuge-Dzingel
Gives you two base lines to work with and I know people will want draisaitl centering his own line but why when they have sedin like production and chemistry?
Rieder, peteovic, and talbot off books this year for around 8m in saving and while these players all need to be replaced how he’s is it to replace zero reider? And who are we kidding with the ahl club surging I’m betting that management is already pencilling in starret as bext years back up
So with koskinen starting next year I’d say we need to bolster the d a bit, I’d bug the ducks at this draft and offer our first round pick and Matt Benning for josh Manson (PENDING WHERE OUR PICK IS)
Klefbom-Larsson
Nurse-Manson
Sekera-russel
is the defence next year Keeping Bouchard in the ahl next year hopefully on a pairing with Caleb Jones
And then I think next off season is when it gets interesting, nurse will be due for a raise of about 3 million to around 7 IMO But to make room both russel and sekera have to provide the team with lists of teams they would accept trades to as per their NMC dictates and I know people are gonna cry and moan about them not having value but I honestly think a smart gm can move both of these players fairly easily(again pending on the teams on their lists)
*spooner and kassian off the books after next year aswell
Feel free to criticize me and give feedback
