If the Yotes don't care about winning and want to build again, put Klefbom on LTIR and all you are paying is Russell's 1.5 mill in real money. I don't know how you operate a team when you have to assume one of your better dmen is going to automatically miss at least 1/4 of the season no matter what. I don't love the OEL contact as I see him as marginally better than Klefbom but not twice as expensive good but at least I know OEL will play. Klefbom's no movement, no trade clause would probably make that difficult. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/oscar-klefbom

I mean, who'd want to move to sunny Arizona vs 40-below-mon-ton.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
