Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

This is a mix of what I think will happen (Barrie and Smith resign) and what I think the oilers should do. My forwards depend on a lot of hope that forwards such as Mcleod, Yammamoto, and Puljujarvi grow into great players along with Lavoie in the future.

I signed Antti Raanta because I dont see 39 year old Mike Smith being able to last another full 82 game season of hockey plus playoffs and Raanta has shown that he can be a very solid goaltender that you can be able to rely on. I signed Mike Smith because the Oilers will prolly end up doing it anyway

I love Nikita Gusev and his goal scoring touch could be exactly what the oilers need along with Brandon Saad who at the moment has 5 goals in 5 games plus his speed which would be deadly. Saad has been on a few cup runs with Chicago and now the Avalanche so the playoff experience will definitely help the team.

Traded Neal to Detroit because they had said they were willing to accept cap dumps and Rasmussen is a RFA that has potential to be a solid bottom six guy.

Only other thing I would consider doing would be to trade Bear for a better forward and aim to move Broberg into the lineup. On the flip side I still have almost 2.5mil in cap and Koskinens contract is finally over next season so that should free up lots of money to go ahead resign Bear and get some other players.

Also I got no idea who Seattle will take but for the sake of this GM mode I hope/wanted it to be Kassian so that I could have extra money
