Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Movie Poster Edition VI- "Kenny Lives"

[nexttothemoon]

I'm going to make a guess that some of those Eastern teams are going to have some chemistry issues here down the stretch as the players get used to their new linemates.

Gelling together and chemistry is a much bigger factor than some realize.

A "good team" is obviously more than just throwing a bunch of good players together.

I could easily see a team like the Leafs for example taking a while to gel and get some chemistry going again.



On the flipside... for a team like the Oilers who lost a really good teammate who they seemed to love... Barrie, that move by Holland may actually bond this team even more because they know this isn't f***ing around anymore... the goal is CUP and the management/players made a big sacrifice of a friend to get closer to the big prize.

I think this may help bond the team towards completely and totally focusing on the SC final... anything short of that is failure... especially after essentially sacrificing a teammate for the ultimate goal of winning it all.

I would say just us and the Avs. I mean Vegas got quick but that’s really not a needle move lol

Los Angeles make significant upgrades on D with Gavrikov and in net with Korpisalo.

 

[WaitingForUser]

We're loading up for a cup run headlined by the best player on planet earth and half the board is crying that we traded away a poor man's Brad Hunt. This place never changes.

I hope Holland decimates the Condors some more tomorrow.

Right we have away peanuts to add to our team wtf lol

 

[McJadeddog]

La added Gavrikov which is nothing really and Korpisalo which should be an improvement on Quick but could possibly be worse.

I think we are the only Western team with a substantial improvement.

Yeah LA is in "maybe not, but probably" right now I would say for improvement. Not a lot of other western teams adding at all strangely.

 

[3IR]

I’m really looking forward to a hopeful LA vs LV matchup in the playoffs. Quicks revenge tour would be one hell of a storyline.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I think it's a bad move depending on Yammer to make it through the playoffs. Unfortunately he is the weak link. Fix that any way you can and we are much more likely to have a good run.

Also add another cheap RD and we'll be cooking with gas!

I think Ceci is the true weak link (oh and Campbell of course).

Domi Does Dallas

It’s only fitting

Edit: wait a minute… Edmonton got Ekholm, Dallas gets Domi, what other players with E names are available?

Erik Karlsson count?

Did they though? Gavrikov seems only to be a Kulak level and Korpisalo isn’t much better than what they had.

I really like Kesselring but we’re in win now mode so sacrifices have to be made.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Or Ryan Jones and Second for Bishop but Tambo offered a 4th instead

Or Hemsky for Forsberg but Tambo said I’ll call you back only to see him go to Nashville for Erat minutes later

Don't make us cry.

Time to go all in on this cap hit under league minimum thing. Get both Sheary and TVR at 25% with a third team.

Sheary($500k) and TVR($237.5k) now cost less than Shore and you can ice a 23 man roster.

 

[3IR]

Erik Karlsson count?

I don’t think so.

Sorry, I don’t make the rules, I just interpret them based on alliteration.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Seravalli tweeted we’re done.

Not a fan of this if this is the final move. Yamo on LTIR is a perfect chance to upgrade right now.

Would you like another top pairing Dman?

They really would be perfect fits and come with a boatload of playoff experience

 

[iCanada]

Would you like another top pairing Dman?

Yes.

And top tier forward.

 

[Spawn]

Sheary at 25% and TVR at 50% for a 23 man roster.

Let's see it.

We’re doing your job for you Kenny! Get on the phone and write it up

Would be the move.

The only team that gets to exploit a loophole is the first one to discover it.

Don't make us cry.

Sorry but hey we can all laugh about it now we have McDrai and will most likely be back in the WCF:

 

[Cloned]

So I guess all those people that said Holland wouldn’t do anything on Friday might technically be right

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

And the Mc is that is playing like a 90s Mario Lemieux

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

We have our media still saying we probably pursue EK65 (DNb, Gregor,etc) in the off-season.

I agree I would have liked to see him go in a bigger deal but man he isn’t playing ahead of bouch, Broberg, Ekholm, nurse, Kulak, Ceci, and whoever else we acquire anytime soon. Could he pass desharnais as the 7D maybe but like we want our team to be competitive for the next 4 years this guy is not playing since we need better

That's all fine and well. I hope that does happen. They need to stabilize 1RD imo.

Kesselring at this stage of pro development is not someone I'd sacrifice in a fairly average prospect pipeline to shave $500,000 on a UFA sub $1 million journeyman player. The Oilers were finally building up some legitimate organization depth at defense.

Perhaps I still think they are looking hard to see if Yams needs to sit a while

Good thing we brought back an offensive prospect defender with NHL experience.

Gregor said the Oilers have zero cap space ight now

Eichel for Vinny E5
