I mean realistically speaking, Oilers are unlikely to land both the top forward and dman in free agency. Fair contracts though.
I'd rather give Nuge 7 or 8 years if it means bringing his AAV down
Yamo contract seems like an overpayment. I was thinking more in the 7-8 years for $4.5M or so.
As for the trades
1) I get that its for cap, but Lavoie is a promising prospect. Would prefer not to move him in a cap dump situation. Would rather give a pick or something
2) Not trading a 1st rounder for a goalie who would be 31 or 32, and can't seem to play healthy for an extended period of time.
3) seems like a redundant trade. Archibald would be better in a 4th line role over Benson or Nash. Why not just keep him
4) Not a chance you are moving a 1st and out top d prospect who is likley a regular by the end of this season for Ekholm. He's good but gonna get a big contract at the end of the season, seeing as he's been underpaid his whole career. Would much rather have a 1st and a cost controlled blue chip prospect
5) Meh
6) Sure. Not sure why Tampa would want Kharia though. Don't see him playing the NHL really anymore
