## Resource

Oilers could theoretically have $21M in cap space by deadline if they let $4.7M accrue, but that’s unrealistic—they lack assets to match that haul, and playoff cap rules could block big signings. A more realistic goal? $8M, enough for a rental impact player. Trading a defenseman could free up $1.2M, and names like Tarasenko or Bunting on short deals could give them a needed boost without locking them into future moves.
