Last Prediction Before Insanity Season

Équipe: 2022-23 Oilers d'Edmonton

Date de création initiale: 10 juill. 2022

Publié: 10 juill. 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

I've found this offseason vexing as for the longest time, the trick to an Oilers AGM was to build a roster that could actually get them into the playoffs and let Jesus take the wheel. Now the trick is to get them locked into contender status: easier said than done in my opinion.

Minimal moves and minimal overturn. I think Edmonton can add Campbell and do two of the following:

1. Add a Giroux/Kane caliber forward
2. Improve the blueline
3. Improve the forward depth

As much as I'd like to bring Kane back and sign Giroux, it just doesn't seem feasible. The money is finite and unless Edmonton runs as many rookies as it can, I think the money is better served elsewhere. Of course this all goes in the bin if they acquire one of Allen or Reimer, as then the matter of being able to finance a game-breaking forward on top of all of the other progressive changes becomes substantially easier. I eagerly await the 13th!
