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

[5 14 6 1]

I have no doubt that Kenny is going to circle back to a few situations tomorrow to see if anything has changed.
He's not done.

Agreed

 

[McIce Whole]

Seeing Eberle back in an oilers jersey would be beautiful. Bring him home, Kenny!

 

[Broberg Speed]

Why the fascination with Zub?

 

[guymez]

I don't know how much was Lowes emotions and how much was the EIG's miserly tendencies.

Fair point.
EIG's inability to step up financially played a big role in Lowes decisions as well.
He was a bit of a hot head as a Manager though.

 

[McDoused]

Lowe should be no.2. People say Vegas goes all in and is aggressive, Lowe took a non-playoff team and made them a game 7 Stanley Cup Finals team by adding 6/7 players in about 7 1/2 months.

Pronger.
Peca.
Spacek.
Samsonov.
Tarnstrom.
Roloson.

Added a no.1 superstar D, a top line winger, another top 4 D, a bottom pairing D, a strong checking center, and a no.1 goalie.

This is what going "all in" actually looks like

Props to Lowe for sure but he was put in a incredible position to succeed. The Blues had to dump Pronger because the league brought in a salary cap. You could say the same about Peca. Peca only contributed 9 goals and 23 points the season he was here.

Spacek played for us for 31 regular games then left.

Samsanov played 19 regular season games then left.

Tarnstrom stuck around for another year (29 games) before going to Columbus.

I think some of the moves he made get a little too much praise just because of how exciting the run was. We also had a decade of darkness start on his watch as well.

Holland to smart to be just done, as much as everyone thinks he’s useless he’s actually the best GM we have ever had

Good grief man, give your head a shake. Best GM we ever had? that’s just silly

But man, I can't say I blame him. I'd be a pissed off hot head if I pulled off some great deals and then had to walk them back because my boss was too much of a skinflint to even fund a reasonable team.

I want Eberle or Toffoli or Carrier

If one of those is added its an A deadline as of nowa B

 

[Zerotonine]

Kenny is good, but um.....Slats?

Ironic enough Sather was horrible when he had endless money to spend in new york

 

[alphahelix]

B is a bit of a strong letter… maybe C++… with a legit upgrade in a key position I agree it’d be somewhere between an A- and an A+++

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

f*** off Vegas. All the way off.

As far as the forwards go I like Eberle for the story but in terms of helping this team win its Toffoli all day for me.

He forgot about slats but Holland is probably second to be fair.

We have been a perennial playoff team since his arrival. Only slats can claim the same as an oilers GM

To get a one game shot at a Stanley Cup ... it was 100% worth it.

People also need to realize Lowe was not GM after July 2008.



Holland has to get us to this moment at bare minimum, otherwise he has no business at a no.2. More is expected when you have two of the best players in the world one of them probably the best in 30+ years to play.

 

[Canovin]

f*** off Vegas. All the way off.

If they pay with their 2024 1st and 2025 1st. I'll give it to them. That's a ballsy move dropping 3 x 1sts in one deadline

 

[Seachd]

Bunting sitting tonight, and Carolina thought to be the front runner for Guentzel.

 

[BlackDogg]

I'd want to see Buchnevich just to see Jack say his name 900 times a night alone.

Man I haven’t looked at that face without wanting to punch it once since the summer of 06.

I’d give anything just to erase the memory of hearing Jack Edwards say it once.

Please go east

He's already in the east

Lol. Glen Sather says hi.

 

[Soundwave]

Holy crap too I forgot we totally destroyed Anaheim, I thought that was a 6 game series, dismantled them in 5 games and were blowing Carolina out of the rink in game 1 until that damn Roloson injury.

What a team that was.

 

[Seachd]

Holy shit, you’re right!
