crazy town or no

With that retention yes. Add Bourgault plus especially taking Barrie and Foegle back

Is this a joke? Mike Grier isn't eating $28,500,000 x 5 yrs on Erik Karlsson for two cap dumps and a late 1st round pick. Edmonton is the last team that should be committing to Karlsson long term.

Crazy town. Doubt San Jose will even discuss that much retention.

Yeah I'm sure this isn't the most that the Oilers would offer even if they were giving a lowball offer. There's absolutely nothing in that deal that would make Grier want to pay 19.5m/39m of Karlsson's salaries over the next 4 years.

First off probably need to reduce the retention down to 4m (~35% which would be ~13.56m in future salaries) and then they can add either Puljujarvi or Yamamoto to make the cap work. Foegele would need to be sent elsewhere as the trade needs to be cap neutral since SJ doesn't have extra cap either. Then they need to give up enough futures to acquire Karlsson at 8.5m.
