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

[Soundwave]

I honestly don’t think he will be the 3c
I think they want to run
Drai - McDavid - Hyman
RNH- Henrique - Kane

Yeah I don't think so either. We're playing freaking Janmark in our top 6 right now. Henrique would go straight to the top 6.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Please let Gudas be included in the Henrique deal too.

Full NTC and expressed that he didn't want to sign in a high pressure market like EDM or TOR

 

[McTonyBrar]

Nice. Now who’s next

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I don't disagree with anything you say. I just don't think it is a deal that gets done by Friday. That said one thing to remember is that teams are only allowed 3 retention slots. Parayko would tie one up for 6 years. They have a couple of other guys they may want to move on from in the next few years. If during that time they decide to retool that slot does have some additional value to them.

Parayko has been in trade speculation for year(s). This likely isn't a deal framework cooked up over days but quite possible one that's been discussed going back a season where Holland aggressively turned over every stone looking for top 4 D. He and Armstrong have a deep professional relationship. The St. Louis beat writer was on record last year stating a source confirmed Parayko would approve a trade to his hometown team.

The retention spots only have value if they are used. Having it leverage a $30 million+ cash and cap savings is arguably a great use that enables maximum flexibility to effectively retool away from an expensive, old d-corp with 5 no-trade contracts. This is a 12+ consortia ownership group maybe not unlike the old OEG where bottom line is part of the consideration. Lead owner is a lawyer, beer distributor. Only speculating their pockets aren't as deep as some of the real big money owned franchises...

Low likely for sure. But very solid foundation business wise and at state of their team in transition.

Haven't really watched Anaheim. Does AH move the needle much?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I would love that, but he signed in Anaheim because the playoffs was too stressful.

He's not a game breaker, but he's a veteran who's played alot of playoff hockey and won a cup.

He's also still productive, he just improves the depth of the forward group.

PRetty much leading the team in scoring and one of the few with a positive plus minus on team.

 

[McShogun99]

I just don't see getting a top 6 RW high on the priority list. Get a Ceci replacement and a right shot 3C.

 

[Jet Walters]

Henrique has had a lot of success as a winger. Maybe he’s the top 6 add and then the Oilers go for a Laughton Walker package. Ceci could go to the Ducks as they need a veteran D.

Henrique McDavid Hyman
Nuge Drai Foegele
Kane Laughton Perry
Holloway/Janmark McLeod Brown

He's a serviceable 3C.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Henrique for Ceci 1 for 1 (kidding)

Didn't even sound like he wanted high pressure market like Florida either, lol.

Maybe he doesn't want to play for free in the playoffs

I'm not sure how a consistent 20 goal, .65 PPG centre doesn't move the needle for just about anyone.

Honestly, I instantly throw him between McLeod and Foegele because when they have a centre, they are MUCH more effective offensively.

This is exactly why I believe he is the target that KH is after and everything else is just smoke and mirrors

 

[Seachd]

Seravalli says Carrick is involved and it’s happening.

And third-party retention.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I wait for the day that X goes back to being twitter or HF accepts the links.

Or just take the 2 seconds to change the x to twitter.

Wasn't my top target, but he's definitely a talented and flexible player. Can play multiple positions and in multiple places of the lineup. Doesn't need to lean on power play time to produce.

Poor man's RNH.

Not so easy to do on mobile.

Getting a 3 & 4 C, not bad. Lets see how it looks.

Swap Gudas with Ceci while were at it. Kane, Perry, Gudas haha. So unlikeable.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

My guess is it's Buffalo or Seattle.

[McDNicks17]

I'm a big Henrique fan, but I don't know if going that slow is a good idea.

The bottom six is already pretty old and slow with Perry and Ryan down there.

 

[Canovin]

2nd and 3rd please. Need the 1st for Buchnevich
