Chi paid his signing bonus yesterday so it’s like 5Mish left in actually money where smith has 3.25 left for two years

melnyk saves 1.5 million

Probably prefer the ottawa side as far as players go too tho

Jakub Vrana 3.5M per x 2 yrs
Connor Carrick 1.5M per x 2 yrs

Interesting on Carrick, figured he would get minimum after not doing much last season.

Ryan Sooner signs in the Swiss league

TRouba 7 yr 8 million

Neal for Lucic ... pending info of retention and conditional pick

Read the idea of lucic for neal but had no idea why cgy would do it - must be some nice add ons

Yuck

... and it appears too be 1:1

Fair deal for trouba if he keeps up this level of play.

Edmonton apparently retaining $600k

Edit: Seem they're actually retaining $750k and giving up a conditional 3rd

I like it for me...Lucic needed a fresh start big time.

Lucic/neal is gross but fair. Similar age, similar term and cap, and both fell off a cliff. fresh start for both, but not much will probably change at this age.

For bbkl probably prefer lucic as he still gets Pim and hits.

James Neal is better looking, win for the Oilers

I thought the same

Two conditions have to be met for Oilers to send 3rd round pick to Calgary - James Neal has to record at least 21 goals and Lucic scores at least 10 fewer goals than Neal.

Well I cant see that happening, unless Neal plays with McDavid
