Sujet: Resigning Kane Pujli Yamo and McL is impossible
It certainly is possible to bring back Kane, but it means moving out some cap. I think Kassian, Foegele and Barrie are the candidates - they don't have to move all three, but probably 2 of them. Like this:

With Skinner, Broberg and Holloway up, and Klefbom still on LTIR, the Oilers have $10,518,205 in cap space with 17 players signed. So they need to add 6 more.

Puljujarvi: $4.25M x 8 (Kotkaniemi's rumored new contract)
Yamamoto: $2.75M x 3
McLeod: $1.175M x 2 (Puljujarvi's current deal)

Now we're at $2,343,205 cap space with 20 signed (12F, 6D, 2G). That's a pretty decent team, with just enough to sign 3 league-minimum guys to sit in the press box.

BUT, that doesn't include Kane or a goalie upgrade. And I'm not comfortable going into training camp with a Smith - Skinner tandem. So some pieces need to be moved out in order retain Evander Kane or to make any improvements.
