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.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. 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. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
