💥 JUST $249,166 STANDS IN THE WAY? The real obstacle to the Oilers landing Drake Batherson isn’t what fans think… 😱 Read more ⬇️
🚨 OILERS BLOCKBUSTER BREWING? 🚨
One surprising number is making a Drake Batherson-to-Edmonton trade look far more realistic than many fans first believed.
With the Oilers sitting just $249,166 away from fitting Batherson’s $4.975 million cap hit, salary cap space may not be the biggest obstacle after all.
The real questions are even bigger:
🏒 What would Ottawa demand for its 33-goal scorer?
💰 Would Batherson agree to a long-term extension in Edmonton?
📈 Should the Oilers commit more than $10 million per season to keep him?
If a contract extension were already in place, would you be willing to trade a 2028 first-round pick to bring Batherson to Edmonton?
