i dont see why AA signs for less than his QO

Flat cap and opportunity to play with McJesus and earn a decent contract

That’s why they traded for him, and then didn’t play him there for very long when they didn’t instantly click. Sens also decline, Russell still has negative value

Bobby Ryan still puts up "decent" numbers no way he signs for 800k lol

because no one else will give him 3M/year, based on what he did this year

That DeBrusk contract is a little rich
Bobby Ryan will need a bit more
Dont need to sign Benning for his QO
Not a fan of RNH at 3C, reunite the DRY line
Other than sentimental attachment, we really dont need Gagner

Pretty good tho ngl

I’d be stoked if Holland could pull this off, although still a bit worried about defence

i guess ya thats true

How about now?

Don't like the Boston trade. Klef alone is an overpay based off use and contracts Debrusk could be awesome with McDavid though and be worth it. Holland won't pay a first for a goalie unless it's Hart or Samsonov or someone young and clearly elite. Now that Ryan is going to free agency I wouldn't mind the Oilers calling his agent to see what he's looking for. Probably not to much considering he's 33 and really isn't elite at all any more. Russel won't get traded if he viewed to have negative value. Holland won't pay to trade him when he plays well on the bottom pairing and only has 1 more year left. If anything he gets traded at the deadline for someone who needs his services because of injuries or something. Bear will sign for less, he has no arbitration rights. Sekera isn't needed and he are still paying him from he got bought out.

OTT decline
