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

f*** these ers

Edit: Still, f*** 'em!

How about Lavoie to MTL for a 4th rounder?

Why? Lavoie is more and better than any 4th rounder will turn out

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Or Buchnevich or Crosby

I think it’s Matthews and Marner.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

How?

Colorado slightly upgraded on defense and added a forward that is scoring less than Henrique and has zero two way game.

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.

Colorado added a tough middle 6er, top 4 dman and top 6 forward. So disagree.

Dallas added arguably the best available player at this years TDL. If he stays healthy thats one of the best blue lines in the league and they already a defensive stalworth

You dont think adding Hanfinin as their 4th D over whitecloud/Hogg is an improvement? I just dont get how you can say that at all.

Respectfully disagree on all counts. I think Oilers improved as well - dont get me wrong. But just not as much as the three team mentioned.

Bah. Its about a gala. Jerks.

Hahaha

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Even Vegas tweeting about a gala pisses me off. I wanna punch that emoji in the face

 

[mkatcherin00]

I wan to punch them in the face

They know everyone hates them and they embrace it full on

 

[WaitingForUser]

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.

and Lucic was a big part of the success we enjoyed in 16/17. After his dad he fell off a cliff but CM was right about him when he first arrived. Brown I will give you though:

 

[Forgot About Drai]

I was about to lose it ahhaha. Actually got me good.

 

[LTIR]

Is the gala truly sold out? They'll just add benches and circumvent the seating capacity.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I hope theses bums get swept in the first round

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I love how people keep calling Vegas smart for doing what they’ve been doing. Is that admitting they’re cheating? Because if it’s just a legitimate injury what’s smart about that? They’d be extremely lucky year after year not smart.

They’re cheaters and I don’t respect that at all. f*** em

 

[Canovin]

The Trenin trade might mean they are willing to move Carrier

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I hope theses bums get swept in the first round

I hope they crater the rest of the season.

 

[McSuper]

The way you guys talk about him that he should be up here, etc.

Again you made a clear cut statement. Now you are back tracking and trying to spin it the way you like. Not wanting to trade a high first round, pick developing D for pennies on the dollar isn't the same as over valuing a prospect. You are trying to read fans you don't know which you can't do over the internet. Just admit you are wrong and one on.

Would I trade Broberg ? Yes if it is for a D that is not a rental and is a top 4 RD. Yes I know we would have to add to him. I wouldn't trade Broberg for a rental D or forward.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This is my hope. Plus Ceci going back gives them a player who can still help them.

 

[LTIR]

I hope theses bums get swept in the first round

assuming they make the playoffs.
Hopefully the Blues catch them

Respectfully disagree on all counts. I think Oilers improved as well - dont get me wrong. But just not as much as the three team mentioned.

Colorado traded players to get players. After #1 (McDavid), the Oilers have 3 centres who are better than Middelstadt including the one they just acquired. If anything we are out "arms racing" the Avalanche, we got the better player. Walker is not a needle mover.

You are probably alone in your opinion on Tanev. He's a good one way d man that has taken a bit of a step back this year. I think you would struggle to find a single other person that would describe him as the best available player at the deadline.

I think Vegas's defense is already solid and already efficient through three pairs. I don't think the impact there will be material, and I think Hanifin is massively overrated. This could be a blessing in disguise, because McDavid absolutely abused him in the playoffs just two years ago. Hopefully he brings the same level of impact. Don't think that Hanifin makes a big difference to a team that has been playing at a 25th place level since November.

They wouldn't want Ceci. They want their NHL ready AHLer to make the big show

 

[PULSATING]

lol ya'll just got owned by an emoji

Ok, then move Ceci to the Yotes for that 4th back lol.

Let's be real, if our management operated like Vegas- going for it every deadline, upgrading wherever and whenever they can, taking advantage of loopholes, we'd love it. In fact, I'd argue the way Vegas is run is how the vast majority of successful business are run. It's just that we have sleepy Ken at the wheel, so while the last two cup winners are adding top 4 D and top 6 forwards, we're tinkering around the edges.

Sure, but also f*** the Knights and their f***ing nonsense. I wish them nothing but as much bad luck and failure as they can absorb.

 

[joestevens29]

I want to see Hanifin for Lindholm
