Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: “I’d buy that for a dollar!!!” Edition

[LTIR]

Vegas, Dallas, Colorado for sure

Flames had helped Nucks, Vegas and Dallas load up for playoffs.. Markstrom to COL is the logical next trade for them.

 

[PBandJ]

Colorado and Vegas swinging for the fences while Holland is happy hitting a single.

 

[CupofOil]

Fogele is a better player then Eberle esp come playoff time

Dunno why everyone seems to always want former players back just for the sake of it

An absolute myth. Why? Because he's bigger?

 

[Canovin]

Good for them? They traded their #3 defenseman away.

Makar, Toews, Manson are the top 3

 

[K1984]

Vegas, Dallas, Colorado for sure

How?

Colorado slightly upgraded on defense and added a forward that is scoring less than Henrique and has zero two way game. No change to their forward depth, which is their biggest issue.

Tanev is not a home run addition (I suspect we would be accused of losing the "arms race" if the shoe was on the other foot here and acquired him for a 1st)

Hanifin is not a material upgrade for Vegas.

A grand total of zero of those moves materially impact our ability to beat any of those teams in the playoffs even if we do nothing else.

I sincerely hope we're not finished. I really don't want to go with the exact same defense we had last playoffs. We'll get murdered by Vegas or Colorado.

We were leading the Knights in every game last year. What did us in was shitty coaching and shitty systems with some shitty goaltending.

Not our D.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Makar, Toews, Manson are the top 3

Now. lol.

The Knights are about to do some shit, so I guess we can prepare for that.

 

[aspin3]

so we'll have "not even a 7th dman" in Broberg in our starting roster next year? wonderful news and a fickle Holloway?

gives them 8 months to get ready when the last 5 haven't been enough

You dont have to worry......Broberg is more than a 7th and at worst a 6th dman this year. With increased playing time he would grow substantially....as for fickle Holloway? He brings more to the table lready than Brown, Ryan, etc. and again Ryan is declining and Holloway will be more advanced next year. The interesting thing is fans whine at the Oilers for poor development but the fans will not wait for the development like other teams do.

 

[joestevens29]

How about Lavoie to MTL for a 4th rounder?

Why? There is literally zero reason to move Lavoie for a pick

Nurse-Ceci and the Drai line were god awful in that series.
Skinner struggled too but those players were the main culprits.

Avs still have their 2024 1st and prospect to add Chychrun.

Sure, I guess just knowing that they should get a bye to WCF.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Lol here we go

 

[Zerotonine]

Well 2 of them. Walker and Trenin, Mittelstadt is to be determine and Duchame they overpaid.

Foegle has 31 points in 13 avg minutes of ice time wity little to no pp time. Eberle has 37 pts in 17 minutes of ice and in sure plenty of pp time so again why make the trade? Foegle is also faster and a hell of a lot more physical which comes handy during the playoffs

 

[LTIR]

I'm not shitting on the additions (I like Henrique), but I do feel the need to point out that Connor also vouched for Lucic and Connor Brown as signings. He is exceptional at many things, but evaluating team additions isn't exactly of them.

So why is he being asked to evaluate? You have 7 centers now???
Yeah and how does that change McDavids game?

f*** these interviewers

 

[Canovin]

Better not be Buchnevich

 

[PBandJ]

They were victims of the idiotic system Woodsy insisted they play and didn’t alter course once.

Yeah, it's been a nearly a decade since Eberle was an Oiler.

I disagree. Those dmen would automatically be in our top 4, but we weren't going to acquire them anyways. If Nashville didn't go on a meaningless winning streak we would have had carrier.

 

[LTIR]

Has to be Guentzel

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Has to be Guentzel

Or Buchnevich or Crosby

 

[K1984]

"Golden Knights acquire Crosby for a 7th rounder and 75% retention, made possible by the Golden Knights using a one time special exemption trade waiver"

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Bah. Its about a gala. Jerks.
