Rumor: Rumors & Proposals: "But it was not, an interesting day" - the narrator

[tinfish]

I think it might be tough to upgrade at D this deadline. Prices are just too high. If we can't make a Karlsson trade happen there's not a lot of significant upgrades out there. Assuming we swing and miss on Karlsson and are running our 11 F 7 D set up I see Derrick Ryan and Holloway as positions we could make big upgrades on. Not saying we get rid of either of those players. I think Ryan is a really nice utility player to have around, and Holloway just needs some more seasoning.

That being said if we could bring in a ROR or Toews That would be a massive upgrade on one of Ryan or Holloway. If we really wanted to swing for the fences getting a package of either ROR/Barbashev, or Toews/Lafferty would be a very nice upgrade to our forward group.

Running 11 F consisting of:

Mcdavid
Drai
Nuge
Hymen
Kane
Yamamoto
Kostin
Janmark
Foegele (Holloway?)
Ryan ROR/Toews
Holloway Barbashev/Lafferty

Thats a very nice group of forwards. Run our 7 D we have which I honestly don't mind. Cost is probably 2 firsts and Puljujarvi out the door. Would need 50% retention on a either of the 2 players and probably have to ship Foegele out as well actually, so maybe you run Holloway in his spot. I'd be pretty happy with that if we can't make a Karlsson trade work. I think Karlsson is more of a summertime deal if it's going to happen at all.

Thoughts?

Just keep Yamamoto on LTIR where he belongs. He's just going to crash into the boards again and round and round we go.

Ken Holland is having dinner at a restaurant tonight as well as foegele

Arbys?

Think he could help the team unfortunately, he's a better fit than Puljujarvi or Janmark or Foegele in the top 6. He can set up the odd goal or draw the odd penalty at least when he's not scoring.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

If anybody should be in the AHL it's JP not Holloway or D

 

[McBooya42]

Six in one hand, a half dozen in the other. One way or the other, it makes no difference to me.

That's fair.

Not in the playoffs, he'll be a liability. Look, these guys don't like seeing their teammates get hurt. It's traumatic. Yamamoto is going to get hurt.

We're not in the playoffs though, I'm not sure if you noticed by it's mid-February and we still need the points right now.

Kane Draisaitl Yamamoto

Would be a better line than

Kane Drai Janmark/Pulju/Foegele

I said we should have moved Yamamoto during his annual regular season heater. He went on a bit of one, didn't get traded, then got hurt again.

If he goes on a heater again TRADE HIM WHILE HE'S SCORING and never look back.

I don't really even care, this is the roster we have now, at least Yamamoto makes the odd positive play, Janmark/Foegele/Puljujarvi simply can't play in the top 6. Watching Janmark and Foegele there last night was embarrassing.

Maybe who knows lol

I freaking love arbys

I could be wrong but I believe that may be the same poster that said Hall was building a home in Edmonton before he signed with Boston or whatever

The last supper?

Maybe they are lovers?

Only if Connor is there too but as long as they don't betray his ass.

Go refresh their drinks and see what they’re saying….

Arbys?

Had me some Arby’s for lunch. Only one Arby’s left in Nova Scotia.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Bob with a classic cliff hanger.

To recap the day:

JP did not practice and was not sick so that sent out world into a tizzy. Yamamoto is supposed to be activated tomorrow so there needs to be some sort of roster move to be cap compliant. DNB predicts VD and Hollsy could be sent down to the Condors. If that happens, Kenny has lost his own plot.

Who cares if they get sent down. Holloway should have been sent down ages ago. Vinny can go down for a few games until a trade gets worked out. I can't believe people will lose their shit over a couple of rookies getting sent down over trade negotiations that could take time.

 

[Mr Positive]

It sounds like this isn't anything exciting.

It's just moves to activate Yamamoto isn't it?

 

[Paralyzer]

I freaking love arbys

Of course you do....
