- Sign Philip Broberg
- Sign Dylan Holloway
- Clear cap space to accommodate deals ($300K plus whatever they sign the above two for, less any cleared if the Oilers decide to carry basically no spares). Possibly dealt with in the short-term with LTIR for Evander Kane.
- Patch any holes created by cap-clearing moves (if Kane is unavailable for months, we may need another forward, for instance, either a call-up or a free agent signing)
- Sign Leon Draisaitl to an extension (optional)
- Sign Evan Bouchard to an extension (optional)
- Likely discuss the future with McDavid, given that he may be instrumental in getting those last two points accomplished (optional)

Bit of an underwhelming start for Bowman here/ The list still has a few pieces missing. Bouchard hasn't signed an extention, and we have a hole at RHD still (barring Emberson taking a massive jump forward).

Turns out, the devious GM I imagined did actually exist, so so long Broberg and Holloway. I think we made the right move there all things considered, but still the loss may hurt a little at times this year, especially if those we brought in to patch the holes don't excel.

I think that there's much better cap treatment if Kane is LTIR-ed at the start of the season versus during the summer, so maybe that's one reason we haven't seen more happen.

I would feel a lot better if we signed Bouchard now rather than wait to see how many points he can put up this year before we do so.
