There was a piece written by Gregor on Oilersnatiion about the expansion draft and how he felt the Oilers should protect 4 dmen - Nurse, Klef, Bear, Jones. I didn't understand that logic because that means you are only protecting 4 forwards and in reality, Jones is a 3rd pairing dman on the Oilers because both Klef and Nurse are lefties and are ahead of him. With Bouchard not needing protection, by the time the expansion draft comes around, you could come out with your entire top 4 intact so Klef Nurse, Bear, Bouchard and if Broberg looks like he will be ready by the expansion year, if you did lose Jones, oh well.
Still a ways to go but it's nice seeing options.

Honestly, I think it depends on who they have at forward. Right now, the Oilers only have four forwards I would consider worth protecting more than Jones. Everyone else is a replaceable piece in my opinion.
McDavid
Draisaitl
Nugent-Hopkins (if he re-signs prior)
Yamamoto
Is there any other forward *right now* who is more valuable to the Oilers than Caleb Jones for the Oilers moving forward? Athanasiou? Kassian? Archibald? Neal?
I'm hoping they add some forward depth before then, so maybe things change. But right now I'd rather protect a 24-year-old Jones than a 30-year-old Kassian for example.
Ideally I think you want to come out of the expansion draft with a defensive depth chart looking something like (though I'm truly in no rush to bring Broberg in, especially considering the depth):
Klefbom / Bear
Nurse / Jones
Broberg / Bouchard
|
If there was only a way to protect an extra skater while leaving all the goalies available...
I tend to agree on Jones. At this point, no one has emerged who needs protecting more, and there's more value in an up-and-coming defenceman than there is in a journeyman forward.
The Oilers don't need to protect seven forwards, because none of the other ones are huge losses at this point.
That would change were the Oilers to sign someone like Taylor Hall in the off-season, but that seems far-fetched and unlikely. Simply from the point of view of who could you get more for if you traded them, Jones is the better choice over Kassian or Athanasiou. The Oilers currently only have 8 forwards total who need protecting (assuming they re-sign RFAs) - McDavid, Draisaitl, Neal, Athanasiou, Kassian, Khaira, Archibald, Yamamoto. You'd like to assume they find a way to extend Nugent-Hopkins and he makes it 9, but really, other than the ones Mightyreasoner mentioned, is there anyone else you'd be heart-broken to lose?
Interesting dynamic with flat or depressed cap and an expansion draft to come - I wonder if we don't see more one-year deals this year with players betting on things improving post-COVID and teams preferring to have UFAs they don't need to protect. You might still have the inside track on re-signing the player and you wouldn't have to worry about protecting them from Seattle. Benning and Larsson (if re-signed) would also be available to Seattle and they still may be picked ahead of the forwards unless the team pays out something in order to convince them to take a forward. If you have a choice, you're getting Seattle to take James Neal and removing that boat anchor of a contract.
