I don't know if I would. Neither is really all that great. Young sure but like....I think they would also rather pay Seattle to pick someone else

I disagree. I would give him even 7.5 x 7 to come patrol Mcdavid wing for eh next 7 years.

I've been saying his name all offseason and I will continue, as a buy low option as depth center, I think Tyler Bozak still has some game left. If the Oilers spend more else where, I still see him as an option at 3C and won't get caved like last year's options

He is from Regina...he did worse offensively than Khaira did last year 5v5. Not a terrible option, not a great one either. His defensive game is subpar. That said he is a beast on faceoffs.

Old doesn't mean useless, he just has to be even or better without McDrai on the iceover 35 and a Cup ring? Stop, Ken Holland can only get so erect.

Experienced and would probably come cheap-ish, again a buy low option if money is tight

I would for Samsonov. Lots and lots of upside, fits in with our core age wise, can grow with the team. Personally would much rather him than someone like Mrazek/Driedger/Ullmark.
His numbers took a good drop this year in all areas really.

My latest prediction has us signing Bonino and Ryan for 3C and 4C. I'm fine with our bottom six wingers as long as you give them a decent centre.
Kahun-Bonino-Kassian
Shore-Ryan-Archibald
Bozak: Awesome for McDavid to compare himself to me - Sportsnet.caover 35 and a Cup ring? Stop, Ken Holland can only get so erect.
I'm not really that impressed by him. Skinner's recent season was better than Samsonovs AHL season at the same age (2 years ago). He is young and has room to grow but at the same time, I don't think we have the team to try and nurture a young goalie like that who is still quite flawed.
I wouldn't be against it but I think he is pretty overrated. It was his starter job to lose and he lost to the other young guy

Based on rumors so far:
Draisaitl - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Hall - RNH - Hyman
Holloway - McLeod - Yamamoto
Archibald - Shore - Kassian

After acquiring Keith, I dont see how we can sign Hall and Hyman.
I'd rather grab one and spread out the rest of the money to have a capable 3rd line that doesnt get caved in every night.

It’s literally next to impossible. One would expect Hall/Hyman to come in at around 10M. Even with a Neal buyout, and the probably 3-4M required for another goalie. You wouldn’t have enough to add a 3C. Also have to resign/replace Larsson. Resign Yamamoto.

I sincerely don't know how we sign a RD, Yamamoto, a goalie, and acquire two 6 million dollar wingers after throwing 5.5 mil in cap space into a black hole and watching it spaghettify.
I’ll play, I agree though for reference, not to mention out top 6 would be saddled with long term deals.
11.5M in space, 12.5 Turris to the minors. Klefbom to LTIR 16.5, Neal buyout 3.83 in savings. So we have 20M to spend
Larsson 4X4, at minimum
Yamamoto 2X2 at minimum.
Hyman 5X5
Hall 5X5
16M spent.
Goalie 3.5-4M.
Koskinen likely has to go to try to get a 3C.
Maybe I haven’t watched them enough but doesn’t Hyman play LW?
Having all of RNH/Hyman/Hall on the LW at 5Mish doesn’t make a tonne of sense.
So in closing it’s do able, but it would go down as probably the craziest offseason in Oilers history, something I don’t see Holland doing
