Kris Russell isn't a "dead weight" contract. He makes $1.25mil on a 1 year deal and is a solid veteran that can kill penalties and play both sides. He's great to have as a 6/7D that can come in and out of the lineup and absolutely want him around for playoffs for when guys get banged up.
I do like the idea of having Allen due to the extra year on his contract at a reasonable price but not ready to dump Koski yet. He had a bad 2021, no debating that, but he looked good in relief vs Anaheim and was again solid last night in Arizona. Not great opponents but before the Oilers rush to be throwing assets to dump the guy, let him play a few more games and see. He's been in Edmonton for 3 seasons and was good for 2 of them.
