Let RNH walk and be more balanced

I would agree, I don't see RNH sticking around. If he wants to be a C, there are places where he will be deployed as a top line C.

I don't see 6 of the Oilers 12 forwards being signed in free agency. I think they would like the young guys like Mcleod and Benson to have a chance to be every day players.

I think though that the Oilers could definitely sign Tatar, Getzlaf and Ullmark. I have a harder time seeing them signing Coleman, he's a Texan that plays in Florida. Unless Edmonton significantly overpays it might be tough to convince him to go up north. He's got a cup too, so he may choose his destination based on lifestyle.

I always wonder why would EDM be able to empty half of the free agency. The finances aren't top notch, the location isn't exactly desirable and ultimately they aren't exactly successful either.

Sure they can probably land one or two UFAs and re-sign some of their own, but imo it's just unrealistic to think they's bring in 8 of the Top25 UFAs in the market.
