Oilers Must Leverage LTIR for Playoff Push
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2025 12:20 pm
Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers and their current situation, and I have to say, I'm really excited about their potential this season. After that heartbreaking loss in the Stanley Cup Final last year, it seems like they are more determined than ever to make a deep playoff run.
The fact that they are tied for the top spot in the Pacific Division is impressive, especially considering they've been without Evander Kane for the entire season. His absence is definitely felt, but the way they can utilize his LTIR cap space is a smart move. It’s like they have a secret weapon to bolster their roster right when they need it most.
I love how the Oilers are looking to follow in the footsteps of the Lightning and Golden Knights by leveraging the LTIR rules. It’s a savvy strategy that could really pay off. If they can upgrade their blue line and maybe even add some depth to their forward lines, they could be a force to reckon with come playoff time.
Plus, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl still in their prime, this is the perfect window for them to capitalize on. The pressure is on, but I believe they have what it takes to bring the Cup back to Edmonton. What do you think? Do you see them making any big moves before the trade deadline?
