What Edmonton Oilers need to do in the Offseason

The Edmonton Oilers reached the Conference Finals this year, which shows progress, but they still have lots to improve on and not too much cap room. The Objective for the Oilers this offseason should be to move some of their higher-paid veterans and acquire a goalie. This is what the Edmonton Oilers should do in the offseason.



Before the 2022 Draft, a few trades are made


Edmonton Oilers trade Jesse Puljujarvi and Warren Foegele to the Detroit Red Wings for Robby Fabbri and Filip Zadina. Detroit Retains 1.25 million of Robby Fabbri's annual cap hit.

This is a good trade for both teams, as it gives both teams what they need and all players involved get a change in scenery.

The Oilers also trade Kailer Yamamoto to the Nashville Predators for Luke Kunin, 3rd round pick '22.

The Oilers might not be able to afford Kailer Yamamoto, so they ship him off to the Predators for Luke Kunin and a draft pick

Tyson Barrie is traded to the Seattle Kraken for 2nd round pick '22.

This could end up being a steal for the Kraken as Barrie is a player who had more than 40 points the last two seasons, to get him for just a 2nd round pick is a steal, but Edmonton needs the cap space.

Zack Kassian, 1st round pick '22 to the Montreal Canadiens for Jake Allen, 2nd round pick '22.

The Oilers dump Zack Kassian's contract by including their first-round pick from this year, while also getting Jake Allen and Montreal's 2nd round pick back, this is a fantastic trade for both sides.

Mike Smith is traded to the Arizona Coyotes for 5th round pick '22.

Since the Oilers are retooling their goaltenders, they trade Mike Smith to the Coyotes for a draft pick.


2022 Draft

58-Matyas Sapovaliv

62-Calle Odelius

84-Topias Leinonen

132-Connor Kurth

158-Vsevolod Komarov

190-Tim Almgren

The Oilers didn't have much to work with in terms of draft picks, but they make the most of it and added some much need depth to the farm system.


Edmonton Oilers re-sign a few players:

Luke Kunin-4yrs/3M per

Brett Kulak-3yrs/2M per

Filip Zadina-2yrs/1.8M per

Tyler Motte-3yrs/1.75M per

Ryan McLeod-2yrs/1.2M per

Josh Archibald-2yrs/800k per


Edmonton Oilers re-sign All Non-Roster RFAs


This is how the lineup looks like next season



Z.Hyman-C.McDavid-L.Kunin

R.Fabbri-L.Draisaitl-F.Zadina

D.Holloway-R.Nugent-Hopkins-D.Ryan

J.Archibald-R.McLeod-T.Motte

D.Nurse-C.Ceci

D.Keith-E.Bouchard

P.Broberg-B.Kulak

J.Allen

S.Skinner


Although the goaltending and defense is still not ideal, this is the best you can do given the cap situation the Oilers are in this offseason.

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...

Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format.

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess.
