How the Oilers can clear cap space for a potential big acquisition
[]
Oil On Whyte Feed
According to Puckpedia, the club is fourth amongst the league as they are at $95.27 million against the cap, leaving them with only $226,000 in available space.
Although his cap hit is not unreasonable, given his spot in the lineup, it does make him a little bit more expendable.
His salary is $500,000 below his cap hit which could make a slightly more attractive option to a team that has an internal budget.
Not only does he carry the highest cap hit of the three players mentioned but he is an NHL veteran at 35 and has a full no-movement clause.
Like, the Oilers have the ability to acquire a true stud but just need Walman’s $3.4 million cap hit to be cleared off the books.
