Rumor: Rumors and Proposal Thread | Draft Edition, Rumors In OP/1st Post of Thread

[McOilbleeder]

I think it shows you how many options we have, that even if we strike out on Talbot, we still have Lack. Strike out on that, we can sign one of Ramo/Niemi. And worst case scenario, barring that, we can trade for a Lehtonen.

That's a lot of options.

 

[Oilfan2]

The way things have gone in cowtown lately Talbot will probably win the vezina

Still hope they overpay massively

Calgary will give 2 x seconds. I doubt they'll do a 1st but I guess you never know...

Chia could offer the 33rd and a 3rd but I doubt he'll do both 2nds..

Up to Slats which he prefers.

I still think the Flames will go #15 (they have 15 not 18) for Talbot and 59

 

[Faelko]

Will the Flames give up #18? If they do, good on them.

Please let this happen....

IF they snag Talbot, I wonder if they move Hiller? Isn't Ortio eligible for waivers?

 

[Soundwave]

EDM 2nd (33rd) + Musil would be my "take it or leave it" offer.

IMO that's basically a 1st rounder (a late one) given how we've heard again and again how deep the draft is this year.

Ramo's a UFA so I assume he's not coming back.

I honestly don't know why they wouldn't just run with Hiller/Ramo again. Seemed to work for them.

The fact that the 33rd is pretty much a 1st, and we've heard that's what the Rangers really want, makes me wonder if it's even on the table.

Add 3rd or even Khaira

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!!!!

 

[Young Lions*]

Can anyone explain to me why we are even interested in Talbot?

Unproven goalie, small sample size, behind one of the leagues best defence.

This just sounds like way to much potential for disaster.


Anyone have a chance to compare Scrivens numbers in LA vs Talbots in NY? I would imagine they are very similar.

Why would you compare Scrivens' 19 games with LA with Talbot's 59 with New York if sample size is a concern?

Scrivens played roughly the same number of games as Talbot prior to coming to Edmonton and posted substantially worse numbers.

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!!!!

My favourite part of getting him, could be the Oilers are just getting a terrific young man. There's nothing to not love about this kid.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Flames fan: He doesn't sound very enthusiastic. Only one exclamation point.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Bieksa has waived his NTC for the Sharks.

Sharks still think they're a contender huh? lol....

 

[Faelko]

Ramo's a UFA so I assume he's not coming back.

I think it's because of Ortio? Most Flames fans that I'm friends with have been assuming that they were running with a Hiller/Ortio combo next year.

I remember listening to his interview about 2 months before the lottery about how he despised players who refused to report to where they're drafted to, thought it was unfair to the game to put yourself above the game, etc. etc.

And I just remember thinking from an attitude perspective, this kid is basically the kid the Oilers would make if they could build a player from scratch.

I always had hope, but the fact that we actually got him is still blowing my mind.

If they have too many defensemen the Oilers would be glad to help with that.

I'd keep him in the AHL. He looked fine for a stretch last year but when the armour started to crack it fell apart.

Agreed, it still feels surreal, like the first few days after the Lottery. Sometime Miracles.

[Spawn]

I'm glad Chiarelli isn't moving the 16th for a goalie (now that Anderson is off the table), but I'm still really hoping he'll be able to swing a deal for the pick and a top 4 d-man. It'll be tough to walk out of free agency with the two we need. I'll be a little disappointed if we end up just making the pick or moving back and making picks.

The Oilers have gotta walk out of the draft with a top 4 d-man ready to play next season...

 

[Payne]

I hope they trade the 33rd and the 57th today for anything today... Maybe 79 and 86 too. There's no way I'll be conscious before the fourth round after tonight's festivities.

 

[SK13]

Tim Murray is high on mushrooms if he thinks he got Evander Kane for a "first round pick".

That's very true.

 

[Beerfish]

Some poor team is going to over pay in a trade and then over pay and over term in a contract for Ryan O'Reilly.

This guy is a total clone of Horcoff before he got his big sweet heart deal.

 

[Seachd]

Lavoie says he'd be surprised if Talbot gets traded to the Flames. Says the Sharks are very interested.
