theodore worth much more than a 2nd rounder and the worst dman in the NHL. everything esle looks fine

Could add Caleb Jones I think Russell Jones and second for theadore is a good trade but thanks man

No, other teams aren't taking the players the Oilers don't want without sending similar money back. Looks like a lot of cap dumping just so the Oilers can overpay their star and maybe star.

A maybe star? Drai is a number one centre on 25 other teams. Most of these trade is to help the team hit cap floor sekera is still a great d man but to much on cap. This is essentially to get younger as well. Duclair is being wasted and not used right. Poliout contract ends at the end of the year. Arizona gets two first and a third and good defence men for duclair and strome who isn't living up to his name. Russell a second and Caleb Jones for Shea Theadore is a good trade for Vegas

So the contracts are fine they are managable. But there are tons of other concerns:
Trades
- I Actually don't think you need to trade Nuge (I wouldn't sign Hornquist). Sekera would stay as well
- Pouliot I'm good with do whatever to get the 4 mil back
- Have to agree that Vegas won't take that trade. He is probably the same as Nurse at this point and I don't think you would take that for Nurse would you?

Signings:
- I believe Benning and Nurse can be signed for Sub $2 on two year contracts. When they need to be resigned it would be easier to trade Sekera and Russel and Oilers will know if they are Top 4 guys (then they likely make 3.75 to 4.5)

- We will see how Cag and Shepy play this year but those seem reasonable

Lineups
- Hornquist can be substituted with Shepy or since I didn't trade Nuge, Strome plays on that line.

Basically you would end up with:
Maroon-Mcdavid-Strome
Lucic-Leon-Poolparty
Cag-nuge-Shepy
Benson-khaira-kassin
Kelfbom-Larsson
Sekera-Russel
Nurse-Benning

New cap hit is :
Save: 7.85 (removed contracts) + 4.63 + 3 (reduced nurse and Benning)= 15.5mil
Added Cost, 5.5+6+4 = 15.5mil

Cap floor for these teams? Arizona traditionally has used LTIRs to go about the floor, not taking overpriced players. And this year they might have changed thoughts but traded for Stepan and Hammer. You've added cap to the $$$ conscious Ducks. Yea maybe the Canes might like RHN, but maybe not and giving up Gauthier. Financially the Canes could find a UFA centre for 6m or less and keep Gauthier.
No, what you did is my definition of cap dumping. Leon has had one good season and he may/may not warrant to paid the 12 highest forward in the league. Projecting forward is he worth to paid the 12th paid forward. Maybe.

Isn't Draisaitl supposed to get $10+ when he signs?
