The Future of the Oilers

Équipe: 2023-24 Oilers d'Edmonton

Date de création initiale: 6 janv. 2022

Publié: 6 janv. 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

About 15M to fill 6 spots:
1G (5M), Top 4D (4M - Trade), 3LW (3M), 3LD (1.5M) , 4C (1M)

Bourgault and Broberg become full time NHLers
Lavoie and Savoie are next to push

Going to try my best to project some extensions:

The Key Signings:

Puljujarvi 4 x 4M - I predict he slows just a bit from his 25 G 59 P pace he's on and finishes with around 20 G 50 P.
Bouchard 3 x 4M - I hope they try to sign him after 21/22. Would be smart. Might cost a lot more if they wait for his RFA year.
Yamamoto 2 x 2.5M - Continues on his current pace and finishes with 15 G 30 P. Signed summer 2022.
McLeod 2 x 1M - Continues to gain confidence and finishes the season strong. No leverage in negotiations however.
Klefbom Retires :(

Secondary Signings

Niemeläinen 2 x 850K - Decent prospect, signed to a cheap contract in 2022 summer
Skinner 2 x 1.5M - Has a decent season as the backup in 22/23 and re-ups for 2 years at a reasonable price
Konovalov 1 x 1.15 - Plays well in the AHL and makes a few appearances in the NHL. I can see a hold out until camp. Eventually takes a 1 year deal.
Lavoie 2 x 850K - Standard deal out of his ELC

Traded

Benson - This is 50/50. I think he gets traded somewhere in the Summer of 2022. Maybe in the Kassian Deal. Could also be resigned for around 900K depending how the rest of the season goes.
Samorukov - Traded with a high pick in Summer 2022 for a Top 4 D or a goalie. Maybe packaged with Barrie.
Lagesson - Probabaly for a late pick
