Okay so we still have to sign both Bear and Lagesson. We're right up against the cap (700K ish) WITHOUT signing them. Yes, you can go 10% over cap but have to resolve it before the season starts. Yes, that also does not include possible LTIR funds for Klefbom. Yes that does not include any trades (and in the market with flat cap and everyone else in the same bind for the most part you won't be able to shift things as much as you'd like). I didn't mind Caggiula either BUT unless we can shift JJ we can't afford him (or Chaisson). Not really. Priority wise we really really need to resign Bear and Lagesson. While we're not quite at the "shit or get off the pot" time we're also not that far from it. I would rather that Holland focus on those two players than muddy the waters by signing another guy and gutting what we have funds wise even more. In so far as Bear goes I can really see his management wanting to sign a 1 year deal. For the Oilers that means he's not eligible for the Seattle Expansion Draft (so 1 less D to protect). For Bear it means that the Oilers will be in tough next year if they want to keep him (yes, some pricey guys will be gone so more room and less dead cap too which never hurts but you have Nuge to resign and I doubt that will be as cheap as some think). We'll also have to worry about signing Yamo, Ennis, Chaisson, JJ, Nygard, Larsson, Barrie, and a Goalie to replace Smith (or Smith if we resign him). They all have just one year left and hello, that means money. Yamo will be coming off of his ELC so he'll be getting a raise (especially if he has another season like what he did when he came on board this one). We also have a whack in the AHL that are either keep or go players and that also has cash pending. Good job on the vid.
Common ladies and gentlemen let’s get this guy up there. Thanks for taking the time to do videos! Great to see a bunch of different perspectives then just one!
