Confirmed with Link: Klingberg signs in Edmonton

[McFlyingV]

For me it's the fact he got more than he did last year with the Leafs. They were at least able to bury him.

Klingberg's cap hit was 4.15M last year what are you talking about?

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't get what he did to deserve a bonus. Does he want to prove he isn't still trash or not? He should be making all the sacrifice. We're giving him a golden opportunity to prove he deserves a deal next year.

What difference does it make to have some cash being salary and other cash being bonus? Isn't it all averaged out?

Either way, Klingberg's deal is tiny. We are talking about a 350k bonus. And sure it would have been nicer to have the deal being even smaller, but it's still very valuable to have Klingberg to try considering the upsided.

I suppose it matters how you see the odds. If there is a 50% chance he becomes the solid top 4 D we need, then it's a very smart gamble. If it is a 5% chance, it's not a good gamble

You're right ignore my dumbass.

There is a lot of shit storm behind the scenes with the team this--I thought it was just the Miller/Pettersson problem but you have Debruck and his stalking that MOVED from Boston to Vancouver to keep tabs on him and according the canuck board there sounds to be some more mayhem that has not come to light yet.

Edit

First shoe has dropped about Denko not being happy

Speculation: Thread 'Doug MacLean: Demko not happy in Vancouver'

Today at 5:24 PM

He said it today on Sportsnet with kypreos. He's hearing that Demko isn't happy in Vancouver. Unfortunately his health is still an issue. Any Offers on Demko? Canucks could continue to run with Lankinen and Silovs as a 1A and 1B.

Canucks looking for a top 4 dman.

Next up is Brovk Boeser. UFA in the off season and indication right now is that he wont resign in Vancouver

Rumor: Thread 'Dhaliwal: Canucks and Boeser have had 0 talks regarding new contract/ If nothing before TDL, they will move him.'

Today at 1:07 PM

According to Dhaliwal:

The Canucks and Boeser have yet to engage in any contract talks. As per Dhaliwal, They wont let Boeser walk away for nothing in the offseason and if they dont have a new contract in order by TDL, He will be moved.

Boeser of course is upcoming UFA but has expressed his desire to stay in Van,


Canucks management is in a tough position as the team is in limbo right now in regards to making the playoffs and selling/buying.

Boeser is still only 27 yrs old.

Playing at a 33 goal pace this year.. Scored 40 goals last year inlcuding 7 in 12 playoff games.

Trade...

Oh my. I looked a bit into the stalker thing and from what I'm seeing, the woman from Reindeer Games would be saying that girl has a problem.

The fact she went to twitter to complain about the fact she is banned from attending any nhl games Debrusk plays in and how she has now loved the move from Boston to Vancouver

WTF lol. Looks like Debrusk Jr doesn't know hw to pick them or maybe had a one night stand with a weirdo

 

[Stoneman89]

Who is this?

 

[tiger_80]

"Free Stuff!!"

- Stan Bowman(probably lol)

Solid low risk test-drive on a veteran player with extensive NHL second pair experience. Can he play at that level missing more than a year with a significant rare surgery to correct his injury? All likelihood is no. But if he can provide NHL depth 3RD/7th defenseman with his experience, length, and puck moving/processing ability it helps to improve this team's bonafide NHL depth.

Highly doubt this stops the Oilers from targeting a significant defensive upgrade.

Credit to Bowman who has picked over waivers for a former 1st round pedigree Kapinen, a project early prime years d-man Regula, and now a dice roll on a mystery box with a real good runway of NHL experience. This is Go Year. They will be pursuing all avenues big and small to upgrade this prime window team. So why not throw another Klingberg on the fire.

Btw, what's up with that kid they got for McLeod? I thought he was supposed to have potential.

Who is this?

Looks like Johny Sins before he lost his hair.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Who is this?

Karel Vejmelka

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

What number is he getting? 3 is retired and Arvi has 33

 

[McAsuno]

Who is this?

Vejmelka. Would be an awesome 1B tandem with Skinner.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

What number is he getting? 3 is retired and Arvi has 33

He looks like a 73 to me

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Is he expected to play tomorrow?

We aren’t the only team that was interested in him. Not the only top 10 team interested in him either. So maybe the amount of the contract that was bonus was what got us the player. Ultimately who cares?

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Yes I do. Like Arvidisson...if he gets injured he takes up a contract spot. I understand it is a low risk but with him it is matter of when not if he gets injured. Contract wise we are 46/50.

Since you want to be snarky--can you figure out why I am looking at the 50 man contract list? A few years ago the oilers tried to do a trade but they were at the 50 contract limit and they other team was not willing to take a contract back.

You clearly are aware if the 50 contract rule as it is one of the more complex natures of the league and how taking on so many injury prone players can affect things you can do.

BTW

Can you find me that stats for some guy names Alec Regula? I see his name being an oiler but I can not find his stats

Arvidson makes far more lol that is not apples to oranges comparison and is a multi year deal.

Calling this a massive gamble is ridiculous

 

[Stoneman89]

The "kid" is Matt Savoie and he's going to the AHL Allstar game soon. So, pretty decent.

 

[CROTT]

333.3, watch Bettman's head explode and the Oilers owe the Flames a 3rd rounder

On a slightly more serious note, he did wear #4 in the AHL. But he is SOL to wear that here. My uneducated guess is #23.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

The guy was -7 in his 14 games this year with the Leafs. I don't watch the Leafs at all but wonder if he was a tirefire there too

He was. But he was paid to be a top-4 and failed miserably. Allegedly due to his bad hips.

I'm with you. I don't see any upside here. He's been abysmal for 3 straight years and on the wrong side of 30.

Please repost my post calling it a MASSIVE gamble. It is risky and the problem is he is bad in his own zone

and my comment was "another injury prone player"

 

[McTedi]

Then you walk away and let him be someone else's problem.

I dont mind taking a chance he may just look good in our top 4 d pairings.

 

[McChucky]

Im good with this. If he feels as good as Kane has felt and played, might be a steal here....

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

for the love of god I just hope we add an impact player somewhere on the roster

 

[Jumptheshark]

With Klingberg I have two concerns

Staying healthy
the fact he sometimes sucks in his own zone
