The Edmonton Oilers are fortunate to have cap space available, but it would seem better to add to it closer to the deadline in order to add a more expensive player later in the season. To be honest, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in a dead end, and Liljegren isn't a significant upgrade at that level. In conclusion,
Brandt Clarke deserves a chance at a larger role, and the LA Kings will have
Drew Doughty back in a few months.
