Who is Michael Bunting and why is he worth $2M? He's a group 6 UFA with a grand total of 26 NHL games to his name. If you offer him a chance to play alongside McDavid, he's probably here for less than a million on a one-year deal. Two if we're extremely lucky. However, I'd prefer to not gamble on a genuine NHL nobody. I very much prefer the likes of Saad or Tatar as the future #1LW.
Wennberg is unnecessary: McLeod has shown that he has the chops to play as the #3C and isn't producing because he's had actual boat anchors for wingers. Likewise, buying Koskinen out is a poor use of his money and only serves to saddle Edmonton with dead cap for two years. Let him play out his deal: he's fine as a back-up. If you're concerned about the financials, send Neal and Russell to the AHL as well to free up an additional $2.1M.
I don't like that the Yamamoto deal walks him to free agency. Very much prefer a shorter deal at a lower AAV.
