I’d rather keep the 4.3 million in cap space.

The Oilers would be nuts to do almost anything with a non protected first

I never knew that the Oilers had two 3rd round picks that originally were Oilers draft picks.

How are you going to sign Bennent when the Oilers 3rd is conditionally already Calgary's due to the Lucic/Neal trade

Bennet is an excellent target!
Well worth $4 mill.
Arbitration/offer sheet dynamics an issue?
Well done..-~

My mistake, i thought it was a second round pick we where giving. You go in at 4.2 million which is a second round pick.

That third rounder isn’t able to be used in any deal due to the conditions on the Flames trade, you offer Bennet 4.3 and are left with that cap space Calgary offersheets Puljujarvi for well under market value and there isn’t a lot the Oilers would be able to do about it.

4.3 for a player that has cracked 30 points once in 4 seasons?

i would be fine with a offer sheet but that is a high price to pay for a 3rd line center.

3rd line now.
Looks very gritty&fast.
C/RW the BEST type of 4ward.
Flames will never let him go.
