I'd think twice and thrice before going after Erik Karlsson. He's that latest and shiniest bauble on the shelf that everybody thinks they simply must have but is way, WAY too expensive. We could get two really good roster players for less than what he costs.
Looking Good Patrick. I can see Cece gone before Kulak but as you said , too much hockey left to play in this season. Vinnies play has also been a factor and his playoff performance again will be a determination on next seasons blue line. I can’t see how Karlsson being an Oiler would improve defence. Currently the forward lines have a good balance and defence has greatly improved with Eckholm and his influence on the entire core. Keep the vids rolling.
We need to move both Cece and Kulak in the summer, no doubt about it….Along with Shore, Yama, Ryan , and maybe Campbell if there are better options.(if we can?)
Depending on how skinner plays during the playoff I think we should trade Campbell and try get a veteran goalie to show skinner the ropes a bit and whose is solid enough to be a number two for a couple years
Erikson isn’t what Edmonton needs right now. He’s a great player for sure, but he is far too expensive for Edmonton’s current cap space, and he’s not great defensively. Edmonton needs good shutdown defenceman that don’t make any mistakes, but can still move the puck up the ice.

Hey Patrick, nice threads!
I’d keep Kulak over Ceci.
The biggest move will be in nets

Love the Green Jersey & Happy St Patrick's day hehe 😊😊
Ceci would be my choice to move IMO Ceciand Yamo will both be gone Both over 3 mil cap hits and both could be replaced alot cheaper IMO
Any news on Hyman!??!
I would move Cody Cici and Jack Campbell in the off season. Don't need Erik Karlsson and his big contract

Kulak is still a very solid Dman for us, helps with the 11 and 7
Green with envy‼️🍀

Ceci should be the odd man out
Karlsson is too pricy. Oilers need another defence man in the mold of Ek.
