Seven months between signing a UFA and paying a 1st to dump the contract. Thatβs the Stan Bowman we all know love.

We were close - from PuckPedia:
After putting Janmark on LTIR today, Oilers then send Howard to minors tomorrow. That gave them $2.4M space available, & after acquiring Murphy @ $2.2M, they now have $200K of cap space remaining in LTIR with 21 active players (12F/7D/2G) + Janmark LTIR
As always, the best answer is move Nurse to left wing.
02.03.2026 23:02 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My cap compliance chops are a little rusty, but I think a combination of putting Janmark's $1.4M on LTIR and the $1M they save burying Mangiapagne in the AHL could cover it.

02.03.2026 21:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Fine with, maybe even happy with, the Connor Murphy trade. He's got the best xGF% on a bad Hawks team, he'll push Emberson down the depth chart, and a 2nd for an RHD with money retained is a reasonable price.

Extremely funny that Stan Bowman declined to match Holloway's $2.29Mx2 offer sheet, but decided Frederic needs $3.85Mx8 and Mangiapagne needs $3.6Mx2.
in 2025-26
Holloway: 11G 10A in 35 games
Frederic: 2G 1A in 56 games
Mangiapagne: 7G 7A in 51 games
