It wouldn't take much cap work to get a deal done between the two parties. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Mario_Tirabassi/status/1609381389408911360?s=20&t=NtP6fqzC8PH7RYn_zMQQOg'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/zjlaing/status/1609409788869505024?s=20&t=vqXASfxwSSQMHSLojnW4iA'> </a></blockquote></div> With Evander Kane coming close to a return from injury, they will have to be careful when they make the move, but the Oilers are all-in this year, and they will pay what it takes to make a move happen.
