Lavoie, Maksimov, Berglund, Lennstrom, Samorukov and Rodrigue are loaned for the year. You can replace them with Stukel, Esposito, Kulevich and Stanton in the lineup.

Kemp looked good for the US at the world junior tournament a couple years ago.

they are loaned until the AHL season starts

Per Oilers' website, these 6 are loaned for the entire season. The other 12 (Benson, Cracknell, Haas, Kahun, Marody, McLeod, Nygard, Puljujarvi, Russell, Bouchard, Lagesson and Niemelainen) are until NHL training camp. Broberg, I'm not sure.

Broberg isn't loan I don't think, he just plays in Europe

How does Kemp get a better contract than Broberg, Bouchard,Lavoie... he's a 7th round pick???

the details of the contract haven't been released yet so for now capfriendly just says that it is 925k

Correct I doubt he even attends camp. With the current COVID crisis I think it’s best to limit invites to camp. Nhl roster is full no point in inviting and crowding risking anything maybe just benson bouch and Mcloed if the league allows a taxi squad which oilers actually need. Can’t send them to Bakersfield absolutely pointless in my opinion. Don’t expect to see the boarder crossing without quarantine happening so call ups aren’t an option. From what we have seen North American leagues will pull the plug faster and for good not just post pone games so if can’t call up players I’d rather just keep them on loan overseas better odds of playing more games and let them finish what they started there.
