Roster locks and variables as I see it

Équipe: 2021-22 Oilers d'Edmonton

Date de création initiale: 19 avr. 2021

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Lines aren't certain. I like Archibald and Kassian on the 4th together but that might be too many righties

If Holloway and or McLeod aren't ready, Shore, Benson, or whatever cheap extras we have can fill their spots

With the cap space left over we either sign a solid 3rd liner instead of Kharia (Coleman, Granlund, etc) or try and sign a younger starter with term instead of Smith (Ullmark, Mrazek, Grubauer, etc)

This all partly depends on what $$$ Holland spends on a top 6 LW. If he finds a cheap fix there's more money for elsewhere in the lineup

If Holland signs Barrie for $5.5mill this lineup will look much worse

If Neal retires or goes on LTIR this team could be insane, an extra $4.6mill to spend
