Rumor: Lies & Deception Thread | What Will You Believe Today?

Why are they given opportunities? Earn them like Yamo and Pool Party. (and McLeod)

LMAO you're joking right?

the leading AHL producer, 3x all star down there, hasn't earned the opportunity? he has literally done the same as McLeod last year and more than Puljujarvi in the A

 

[The Bored Man]

Friedman thinks Hall going to market

HFOil:

 

[Oilhawks]

This is going to be a long 12 days.

Lenny is going to have some stiff fingers by the end of all of this

Spector said in this article this morning.



That the top 2 Targets are 1.Hyman, 2.Schwartz. He’s the first media member to even really mention that though

Schwartz is good target, albeit with risk due to his injury past. Very good player when healthy though. That injury past might make him cheap enough for us to take a run at. He is also from Saskatchewan, so likely wouldn't have a problem returning to the prairies.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You should read Gregor’s article. Pretty much 0 US UFAs sign anywhere in Canada.

With Covid and borders seems whatever country players have their roots in they may try and stay in

 

[TheNumber4]

Friedman says Leafs offered Hyman 8 years at a lower salary but didn't work out. This guy is going to get a big pay day and it'll be too much on term and salary. Friedman says Oilers are high on him. Also says there's a chance Hall goes to market.

A chance?! That’s all we needed in.

The same could be said for Hyman though, who is coming off a knee injury

Benson isn't even an NHL player and never was. I don't even have high opinion of Kassian who I would leave exposed anyway..

Benson has more trade value than Kassian. there are 0 scenarios where you should protect Kassian over Benson

LMAO you're joking right?

And clearly the org and coaching staffs don't see him as an NHL player.

Just because you play well in the AHL it means little for the NHL. Guys like Klinkhammer shit on the AHL

According to fans. Not to GMs. GMs value guys like Kassian higher than guys like Benson

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Leading AHL scorer and all star who had played less than 10 nhl games…
He hasn’t been given the opportunity

23 years old and still hasn’t cracked the lineup. He’s coming up to make or break time.

 

[McAsuno]

Come home, Hallsy.

 

[KlefDown]

will be great when he becomes a good player for another team and the fools will come out and say "he was never going to succeed here", ya well no shit he wasn't even given the opportunity

 

[McVirginOil]

If McCann can be had it HAS to be before expansion draft, if Seattle gets him they’re not letting him go.

 

[McDrai]

Come home, Hallsy.

Uhh I don’t beleive this. There’s a growing market in the East for guys exactly like Kassian. Someone who can stand up to the Tom Wilson’s and Reeves of the League. If we lose Kassian, we’ll quickly be looking for that player type and it’ll come in a much less skilled/speed package than what Kassian brings.

 

[Del Preston]

Seattle supposedly wants a 1st and 3rd to not take guys like Giordano.

 

[Canovin]

Didn't Kawhi "buy a house" in TO at some point when he was a free agent?

Kawhi makes much more than McDavid, let alone Hall

 

[Drivesaitl]

I said I wouldn't protect Kassian. But Benson is worth what, in your opinion. I have little faith in either. Sure if we could get an asset for Benson do it.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Schwartz would have some experience with Hitchcock too, no? If Hitchcock liked him and he is giving Holland advice, Schwartz is likely a target too.

 

[brentashton]

Wow, that is a steep premium.

 

[CycloneSweep]

And if he doesn't?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Taylor Hall isn't coming back to Edmonton and I feel many need to come to terms with that.

How about you be quiet yeah?

 

[Del Preston]

Wow, that is a steep premium.

Flames should pay it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I said I wouldn't protect Kassian. But Benson is worth what, in your opinion. I have little faith in either. Sure if we could get an asset for Benson do it.

Ryan Reaves went for a late 1st. Physical guys like Kass will have more value then weak maybe bottom 6 AHL guys.
