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

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Good guy Zack.

Gregor said the Oilers have zero cap space ight now

Did his sources tell him that?

Ekholm's wife loving the winter snow and now Bjugstad loves the mall?
Guess Edmonton's a place for players and their families after all

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Skate where? Like why are we treating him like a 1st round pick 2 years into his pro career? I'm happy he's developing and it sucks to have to move him, but man, tons of these guys exist on teams all over the league.

He's a late round pick who is gaining traction with elite size, skating and two way defending game a couple years into pro development. Virtually no prospect defensemen jump directly to NHL. Said already, he's not a prospect I'd throw away for a sub $1 million UFA journeyman to shave $500,000 off.

This team will need trade assets picks and prospects going forward. I'd have preferred to continue Kesselring's development and utilize him for a bigger move or even nurture into a prospective bottom pair NHL option. Still need to grow your prospect pipeline.

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.

Has there been any update on Yamo?

Sheary would be a good add. Has mostly put up steady numbers, shown he can play with high skill guys and has good playoff experience.

TVR isn’t anything special but a little more defensive depth doesn’t hurt.

 

[Canovin]

Hopefully Bjugstad becomes the guy we thought Turris would be for us

Janmark plays the most TOI/g on the PK of any forward, they're not scratching him.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It’s putting so much thought and worry into nothing…especially since we brought a prospect back too. Better players than Kesselring have been added into nothing trades. Happens often

It's really not a lot of worry at all. I like the prospect more and feel his value is higher than a throw in for a UFA journeyman player and saving $500,000. I appreciate your concern for my sense of worry but you're the guy who was doom and gloom on Broberg's selection with such off the wall anxiety of writing off an age 21 high pedigree two-way defensemen. We'll both be fine, honest!

 

[PostBradMalone]

We should've made a play for Domi at that price, CHI was even willing to eat a contract to make it happen. Still hope we land a middle six option, the team can't go into the playoffs with Yamamoto playing a feature role in the offense... if he's even healthy enough to do that.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

For the record, Caps have used 2/3 of the possible retention slots

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'd definitely prefer Domi over Bjugstad.. but $900,000 vs $3 million is a big difference as well.

Meh, fine with what we already have.. Janmark and Broberg are good enough to play. Yamamoto is fine as well if healthy

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

No but Dreger reported not serious. I posted the link in the pinned injury thread.

 

[GOilers88]

Hopefully Bjugstad becomes the guy we thought Turris would be for us

I'll take him becoming even half of what Turris could have been.

 

[LTIR]

I'd definitely prefer Domi over Bjugstad.. but $900,000 vs $3 million is a big difference as well.

Also handedness mattered to Holland/Woddy.
Also giving up 3rd vs 2nd

But Yeh biggest factor is the $$

 

[Old Boys Club]

The more I think about it, the more it seems that they're done. Only way thatHolland does more is if Yamamoto is going to need to sit out some games IMO.

Woody likes to deploy 11/7 and VD seems to already be a core part of the PK

Now now half the young whippersnappers here have never seen a team that can win it all. Like you said we’ve been so bad for so long we hold on to our prospects like grim death.


Yep one more time and he ties the NHL record

Are you the Oilers Report guy on Twitter?

 

[Spawn]

Would only need retention on Sheary. Him at 50% and TVR at full value and the Oilers could make the addition by sending down Shore and Broberg. Broberg and Holloway can come up for the playoffs.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Let's also not forget... Grandpa Holland just made 3 trades in 2 days... he's puffed and in need of several week long naps... hell he may be now hibernating until the playoffs as we speak.
