arizona isnt trading chychrun and edmonton isnt trading bouchard or skinner.

Chycrun should be the only AZ untouchable

Or Holloway. That Price deal is so gross for the Oilers

Chychrun is playing like balls rn arizona is god awful, this draft is stacked if edmonton loses in the first round that pick is still big help

OK holloway is edmontons best forward prospect, but this is edmonton playoff pushing.

Not sure what the point of retaining salary in the trades is when the team is still $13million over.

Yeah. Price has value, unlike some suggest, but this is too much.

Someone get this guy a calculator

I said in an earlier post today "Not close on Chychrun. Arizona wouldn't move him for less than Holloway, Bouchard and [your 2022] first, and that might not be enough." And why would an aging, hideously expensive goalie cost more than a young All-Star, Norris-Trophy-candidate defenseman?

No to all of this.

it would be amazing if edmonton made that price trade, even if it helped out montreal that much

This makes us worst and Cap strapped for many many years..... We are over the cap with only 14 players next year LOL this is terrible.

The Oilers have six pending UFAs and seven pending RFAs on their current NHL roster. Of those players, Puljujarvi, Yamamoto, and McLeod are certain to receive new contracts. With the exception of Koskinen, the rest are depth players that may, or may not be with the Oilers in October 2022. Its difficult to predict what will happen with Koskinen, given his performance this season. Regardless, Edmonton is not going to have a lot of cap space next year, and will probably look to re-sign or re-tool its cast of support players.

When summer 2023 arrives, Milan Lucic and Andrej Sekera come of Edmonton's books, as do contracts with Duncan Keith, Slater Koekkoek, Devin Shore, Oscar Klefbom, and Mike Smith. Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner will require new contracts, and there should still be plenty of cap space available after Holland takes care of those two.

The salary cap is suspended during playoffs, and the Oilers may have a number of waiver exempt players on their roster next season. For these reasons, I think Edmonton is not all in this year, but will be next year.

Edmonton is still missing a 3C and one Top 6 Winger to round out their lines.
