except they are actually doing something this time

They've fired half their staff at this point lol. Just about every single scout is gone, and most of their development staff. New CEO, GM, coach... basically whatever was said about oilers in the past was said about a completely different organization.

Wait wait, I've seen this before. They'll hire Mctavish.

Until Edmonton actually does something positive (close to or in playoffs) they can fire and rehire as many people as they want. time for some fucking results oilers.

agreed but I still think there's a lot to be optimistic about. It's a big step that they threw out the guys at the top who have remained constant throughout this whole debacle. Lowe and MacT set the strategy, and that handicaps whomever is in every other position. Bob Nicholson obviously knows a thing or two about the sport and Chiarelli is a massive upgrade over MacT.

I still hope they fail miserably.

Quick and dirty:•16 players (seven to be added, including No. 1 G, 3D, 3F)
•$51,682,000 for those 16 players
•$19,618,000 available for final seven players

There ARE players who can be added based on the current roster. UFA’s Justin Schultz ($3.675M cap hit last year) and Martin Marincin ($870,000) may be renewed, which would bring the totals to 18 players, $56,350,000 (est) leaving $15,050,000 for five players.

Connor McDavid (with bonuses) would be $3.775M and Leon Draisaitl (without bonuses) would be $925,000; that would bring us to 20 players, $61.05M (est) leaving $10,350,000
