Rumor: Rumor & Proposals: The sound of silence (Free Agency opens 12PM EST)

[PBandJ]

Some of these contract rumors, Ladd and Radulov for example, make Lucic's rumored contract look like a steal.

 

[joestevens29]

Stauffer hints at a Bruin connection for FA...

I'll take my bets on Colborne, Johnson, and Conolly.

Do we just say no to Demers and go after Seidenberg?

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Colborne to Edmonton would be a good add. He's not physical but he's a solid add as a third line centre. Good year this past year in Calgary, he'll produce and have a positive impact on most nights.

 

[Frank the Tank]

3rd Line center? hmm. I'd be ok with this.

When he wasn't qualified by the Flames, the Flamers faithful was quite insistent that he was a winger, not a center(?)

 

[Why]

Here's our 3rd line C to replace Nuge for the inevitable RNH/Barrie trade

 

[Del Preston]

Let's go Lucic!

 

[McVirginOil]

If Fayne and Reinhart get sold for pucks, I can see Seidenberg coming here too for cheap

 

[Soli]

Damn Soli. That wasn't even posted for a minute and you had it up lol. He won't hit his totals from last year again, but he'd be a solid, BIG bodied depth guy

There's like, 8 of us that are vuluturing tweets as soon as they come up. I can't type [noparse]

 

[Cerebral]

If we do trade RNH for Barrie, I'd love to bring in Colborne - he's a good 2nd/3rd line player that would allow us to shelter Draisaitl a little.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

When he wasn't qualified by the Flames, the Flamers faithful was quite insistent that he was a winger, not a center(?)

He could play either in Edmonton. Flames have a lot of depth at centre and were rolling with Monahan, Bennett, Backlund, Stajan most of the second half of the year.

 

[Seachd]

I don't see Reinhart going anywhere.

 

[Paralyzer]

Maybe but I think he can play either position, kind of like Hendricks. Can play either Center or wing. This is a good signing for them if it's only 2-2.5M for him.

 

[Soli]

Don't think Colbourne played a whole bunch of center. Honestly I'd kind of like him just so he can have an even better season and rub it in Calgary's face.

 

[Del Preston]

Just woke up and TSN has Lucic in the Oilers lineup as a "projected signing".

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I LOL'd

 

[EuroTide]

is it possible to watch the TSN stream of this outside of Canada ?

 

[McVirginOil]

I don't see Reinhart going anywhere.

Let's take a bet on it.. 25 imaginary internet dollars he'll get traded before season starts

 

[gordonhught]

I don't see Reinhart going anywhere.

Given the price paid to get him, I would keep him around to see if he improves.

No point giving him away at this stage. Would include him in a deal for a better player however.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I LOL'd

Yep that's pretty much it

 

[PBandJ]

I LOL'd

Now that I'm calmer, I can laugh at this.

 

[Speed220DChalavan]

Colborne isn't that good - underlying numbers are very poor.

 

[Mr Positive]

Just woke up and TSN has Lucic in the Oilers lineup as a "projected signing".

They were talking about it like it was done already. I'm not sure what they were basing that on.

 

[PaperDesigner]

I LOL'd

I'm angry precisely because trading away an elite driver gets you further from a championship.

 

[Digger12]

45 minutes until the madness begins.

 

[SometimesY]

The only original core guy I want traded, Eberle, is the guy that looks like he will be on the team this year.

I believe Eberle is the one to cause dissension on the team. (I have no evidence, it's just there in case someone from head office is reading, just go along with it)

Eberle for Dumba.

Oh isn't Reinhart a unicorn? He's right hand right d isn't he? No way we trade him.
