Different player but goes in line with Nuge as a key UFA that I think the Oilers need to resign as he was pretty critical to their success and has been singled out by name but the coach but more importantly their 2 franchise players as a critical member of the team that needs to be back.
If Larsson will resign for a cap hit that is lower than what he makes now, for a term you are comfortable with, do you sign him now knowing you have to protect him? I know some people including myself think in a perfect world you have a deal in place just not filed so you don't protect him then as soon as the expansion draft is over, you file it but would he even do that and what happens if Seattle who has a early window to talk to UFA's says they'd give him more? He does want to stay but you run the risk of the price being driven up and ever 100K counts.

Honestly, it probably doesn't matter now unless the team is sure that Klefbom is done. The Oilers are losing something of value now, because they can't protect 4 defencemen any more. The advantage of not signing Larsson is that you can protect an extra player, so you can decide whether it's Klefbom or Jones that they protect. Whether you like Jones or not, there's trade value to a young defenceman like him - so I'd prefer to keep him. I think all the recent stories about Klefbom are the team indicating that they won't protect him in this expansion draft.
If they lose him and he does return to form, it's a huge error on the part of management because they really should know better than anyone his prognosis and his mindset.
I would have liked a situation where you could protect both Klefbom and Jones, but now at least one is available either way. If we don't sign Larsson, we have the option of who we lose. If we do protect Larsson? Then Seattle just gets to pick who they like.
The other x-factor is if the Oilers are having any sidebar conversations with the Kraken about controlling who they take. I would give up a significant amount to the Kraken in order for them to take James Neal (or Koskinen for that matter). That give could include Jones or Kassian and potentially draft picks on top of that. If we were able to use this draft to clear millions off the salary cap? That's a huge gift.
