Better gamble for a bottom 6 C than Haas at least. Life with no cap space is a bummer. Better be the last year where we are gambling on a load of league min guys for the bottom 6.

This team really isn't paying a ton of middling guys too much. Neal is making too much (if we get last years version), Russell is making a million too much and Gagner is making too much. The big problem is the $5 million in dead cap, which continues next year as well. It seems each GM uses idiotic buyouts to get rid of issues from the last GM, and it accumulates.

That being said, I'm happy the Oilers didn't have any money to spend in UFA season. 95% of UFA deals are massive mistakes. Build up your farm and replace guys that leave internally.

I agree. I like that he isn't over paying these low end guys. I like the fact that he is bringing in real NHLers vs praying that the likes of Rattie will suddenly figure out how to be a good NHLer.

For the cap. They are going to lose Gagner and his 3.15 mill. Manning and his 2.25 mill is just gone. So there is 5.4 mill you have eliminated from guys who either won't be on your team or are part time players. By next season you hope that Benson for sure is a full time NHLer and he looks to be on pace to be a decent at least top 9 player. So he takes the place of one of the 1 mill guys they signed and is an upgrade plus makes 200K less. Marody with 2 yrs of AHL is hopefully ready to go so he replaces another 1 mill guy and is an upgrade. Nurse is making 3.2 mill, give him 3 more mill of the money you just saved from Gagner and Manning. Smith is signed for 2 mill for 1 year. Sharrett will be 26 next year and if he has another good season in the AHL, you'd think they would give him a shot at the back up. So there is more savings.

I personally think that the Oilers could have traded Russell if they wanted too but the decision was made to get rid of Sekera which I sort of agree with. So getting rid of 2 vet guys wouldn't be ideal. Next season, Russell is in his last year, has a 4 mill cap but only makes 2.5 mill in real money. There are lots of bottom feeder teams who would easily take Russell. So I think there is more ways that the Oilers can open up more money.

We have to get rid of Russell next summer too.

So, ~30M of space (Russell gone, ~2M cap increase) to sign Nurse and 7 forwards, 4D and a goalie.

Not gonna be pretty again, but better than this gross summer.

Nurse probably gets 6.5M. Leaves you 23.5M. Toss 3M at a guy you hope can be a 1B, 20.5M for 7F, 4D.

Probably need 3 of those D, and at least 4 of those forwards to be ~1M guys (better have some guys we drafted ready to step up). Down to ~13.5M for 3 forwards and 1D.

Toss Hall 9.5Mx7, per Garfield. Leaves you 4M for a D and 2F :)

Is $6.5 million not awfully high for Nurse? Who is a reasonable comparable?

Also, if we don't have a young dman or two step up this season, how awful is that group as a whole?

Just a quick look at guys making 6M. Dumba, Myers, Johnson. Bet we will be wanting to buy 6 UFA years from Nurse, so I think it likely lands over 6M. This is assuming Nurse can hit ~40 points again.

The thing about Nurse is he had 10 goals and only 1 was on the PP and of his 41, only 9 was PP points. So he scored 9 goals and 32 pts at 5 on 5 which is awesome. But for contract wise isn't good because getting close to 40 pts should be attainable for him again because even if his PP time gets taken away because the likes of Klefbom and a few others who are better are back, he's still going to play a lot and he didn't rely on the PP to score.

I see Nurse settling into a big, tough, nasty, skate like the wind, 35-40 pt, minute munching, defensively sound, all around dman. Those guys get paid pretty well.
