this team just doesnt seem any better to me tbh. theyd look at UFA market before acquiring larsson i feel, and oilers would want more. i do believe they keep clifford, and dont forget to send the 2nd rd pick to kings and get that '21 3rd rounder back. I got nagged pretty bad for it awhile back lol. but i think they try to go for brodie or demelo before they trade for larrson

I don't see them re-signing Clifford because of the pick swap. There are other guys on the market you can get for less money who do the same thing. I do think they go after Jumbo and try to make a Thornton/Engvall/Spezza 4th line though. With the size and skill on that line I'd like to see a team try to break that cycle. Plus Thornton would be about as valuable as Spezza in the room.

I also think they try the FA market before a deal on a RHD, but I don't think it will be Brodie as he shoots left. Hamonic/Bogosian, someone who can play defense and is relatively cheap is more likely. They have righties on the way (talking more about Holloway than Liljegrin here) so they do not need a long term fix. Just someone to buy them 3 years. It wouldn't surprise me to see them bring back Ceci on a 2 mil/year deal even though the media can't stop trying to lynch the guy.

Don't think the Oilers will add cap for wingers like Johnsson considering we can hardly afford to re-sign AA at $3M.
