I would have used a bigger image, but IIRC, I think someone on here uses a 480p monitor still, so don't want to make their PC explode

At least NHL calibre. Dell has a one-way, gets 800k NHL or AHL, Grosenick has a 2-way, gets 700k up, 350k down. Oilers don't have much cap left, it would be tight.. Not sure what Toronto is doing, clearing some space, Spezza is also waived, compared to our current line up could we use him as a #4 C for 700k ? Should have some Smith LTIR now shouldn't we? Yeah but then he'll be back, I heard they expect him to be back playing after the 10 game LTIR.. We lost Forsberg -700 (1-way), but gained Grosenick +700 (2-way), and we'd have to add Dell +800 (1-way).. not sure how much space we have left.. I'd add Spezza as well if we could, at 700k he's better than some of what we have.. Spezza's agent has said he will retire if claimed. Even so, I think he is done, the Oilers dont have much outside of the top 6 but I dont think Spezza is any kind of solution.

Arch-Turris-Puljujarvi showed some flashes the first 2 games

You are right, I think they have had some good shifts as well. I phrased that poorly.

When I say top 6 I mean the top 6 good, fully useful players. Not easily replaceable or usually frustrating or filling a spot only because its the best option for now

MCDavid, Drai, RNH, are proven hockey players that help won games.
I have some time still for JP to develop
Yamo seems to be the real deal
I havent see enough of Turris and Kahun yet

I guess that is 7, not 6.

After that you have a LOT of forwards who are just filling space.
Many of the guys are what the are, they arent changing. Chia, JJ, Kassian are the top of that list for me. Some are borderline guys who wouldnt make the team if the Oilers had real depth, the kinds of tweeners who get claimed or pass through waivers until the career just fizzles away. Archi, Shore, Ennis are in that group for me.

So while I phrased it wrong what I meant was that who does Spezza replace at this point of his career that actually makes the team better. I figure he would just be another guy on the ice that at best did nothing to help win the game but at worst was actively contributing to losses.

On topic I would fully be on board for aDell claim if A. He makes it to the Oilers. B. The cap can we worked in a way that has no ramifications once Smith is back. The team cant afford to dig the cap hole any deeper.

If Dell, Gord forbid, goes unclaimed or claimed by a team lower in priority than us, this will be the angle spun as to why we didn’t put in a claim for him. Do we become the jerks if we demote the guy we just claimed to get another guy a couple days later? Or do the Canes and Jets being jerks give us a pass to be jerks? I think you have to just not care about being ‘a jerk’ and do what’s best for the team. Dell is, arguably, better than anyone in our G depth chart outside of Koskinen (and maybe Konolanov but he’s still under contract w/ Lokomotiv). This team needs a jerk. And I don’t mean the pleasurable stroke. I say claim Dell, and then waive Smith if he ever comes back. It actually helps with our cap! Amen. Though, didn’t they give him a NMC? Or just NTC? Just NTC, if CapFriendly is accurate (although why he got anything is a mystery).

Probably for the same reason that some of you seem to be behind Jason Spezza’s comments
