Say goodbye to Sheahan.. UFA he's done..
Nobody needing a contract gets a premium after this debacle..
AA doesn't get a Qualifying offer, he goes to arbitration, low balled, then likely traded
E. Bear gets low ball
Benning gets low ball, although he played better than Larsson
Possible Trades
Chiasson
Kassian
Larsson
Benning
AA
|
I think you can add nurse to that list. I’m not sure he’s the guy.
|
UFAs
- Riley Sheahan: I'd bring back Sheahan if his ask goes down to reflect that of a 4C and not a 3C. The Oilesr need a 3C, and Sheahan is not it.
- Tyle Ennis: Re-sign. Liked what he added. Oilers missed it today.
- Patrick Russell: Don't re-sign.
- Mike Smith: Don't re-sign.
- Mike Green: Don't re-sign, unless he is a cheap seventh defenseman.
- The rest: Consider signing Josh Currie & Tomas Jurco for veteran depth. Do not sign Brandan Manning, Keegan Lowe, Marcus Granlund, or Shane Starrett.
RFAs
- Andreas Athanasiou: I think I try to take AA to arbitration; I believe you can shave down salary there, no? I still don't know where he fits exactly as he hasn't really gelled with anyone and seems to have a lot of skill but hasn't done a lot with it so far in Edmonton. But perhaps a third line with wingers of AA and Puljujarvi might be worth a shot.
- Jesse Puljujarvi: Sign him if you can. Perhaps he has grown, and if he can provide a little depth scoring, the Oilers can use it.
- Matt Benning: I'm not sure what to do with Benning either. I like him fine as a 3RD; I don't like him elevated higher than that in the lineup. At some point you want to bring in Bouchard as a puck-moving defenseman who can put up some points; ideally you are bringing him in on that 3RD and letting him gain some experience. Perhaps Benning is a guy that shakes loose in a trade for a forward?
- Ethan Bear: I would try to sign Ethan Bear long-term to a Klefbom-like contract. He's the real deal.
- William Lagesson: Re-sign, I guess? His career development looked positive, but then he hardly played this year. I'm not sure where he fits in on the Oilers, but he is a cheap 7th defenseman, so if they opt not to sign Mike Green, Lagesson is a good option I guess.
- The Rest: Do not sign Ryan Kuffner, Ryan Mantha, Nolan Vesey, Cameron Hebig, Angus Redmond. Re-sign Logan Day.
Trades
- Darnell Nurse - I don't think you can move Nurse. I just don't see anyone who you can elevate to that spot. Jones and Broberg are rookies; you don't want to thrust those minutes or role upon them just yet. Russell isn't equipped. I wasn't impressed with Nurse these playoffs, and think he is probably one of the most polarizing players on the team (and likely falls somewhere in between the two camps in terms of team value), but I think you keep him. Who else plays there? And it would crush Connor McDavid, who while professional, is also a human being.
- Zack Kassian - I'd trade him if you can. That's a brutal contract that I would have never signed. He's a fourth liner with limited production being paid to be more than that. I don't know if they will though.
- Alex Chiasson - I actually liked his series against Chicago, and in a depth role think he is fine. His contract is a little high; if someone wanted to take it, I wouldn't object, but I'm also not opposed to his return.
- Adam Larsson - One-year left on his deal. Do you re-sign him? I'd be leaning towards not, and if not, you have a decision to make this summer or next deadline.
- James Neal - I like his role and think he has played well. It's just that contract. If you can get someone to take it, it opens other UFA opportunities.
- Jujhar Khaira - You know what? He's fine for what he does in his role. I wish there was more there, but as a PK specialist on the fourth line, I'd probably keep him.
- Kris Russell - Think it's entirely possible Russell has played his last game for the Oilers. I think they'll be shopping him, and they should. Jones can play that spot for cheaper, and arguably better. And Broberg is waiting in the wings too.
