To make room for reactivating Henrique (on paper anyway.. physically he needs reanimation ala Dr. Frankenstein) .. Oilers send Savoie down to Bako for cap reasons.. I expect mangi is still up instead because Oil hope a trade is available .. (?)
Must add.. another reason its Savoie is Oilers are going to give full track width to see what he can do rest of the season.. he's looked good against elite comp in the Olympics.

Further explanation by Puckpedia.. Looks like Savoie will be back after Feb 25.. they accumulate cap room and can recall him and still keep Henrique active.. think this means Samanski remains in Bako.. :(

With #LetsGoOilers sending Savoie down, they can now activate Henrique from LTIR.
They have $238K proj cap space available, which can fit $775K annual cap hit today. Using our Current Cap Space Slider, you can see that this grows to $897K by Feb 25, meaning they could potentially recall Savoie on/after that date

Almost impossible to make moves this deadline. After such brutal unforced error wastes of cap space. Feels like this team will never ever have competent management.
