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

[McAsuno]

Holloway, Broberg, and a 1st round pick in 2025 for Pavel Buchnevich (retained). K thanks, Armstrong.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Thanks was guess that but initials seemed off.

Issue is Oil #4 is gone this year and conditionally gone next year.

Yes sorry. Van Riemsdyk

 

[Draiskull]

Him saying veteran dman already makes me feel eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh



Just what we needed, another year of Cody Ceci in the top four. Sigh.

Ceci was forced to be top pairing last playoffs, will be 2nd/3rd this year.. it's not the same. He can handle 3rd pairing duties

 

[JordanGalhanth]

Here's me thinking its gonna be Brendan Smith (Former redwing connection)

Oh please NO. Smith got absolutely TORCHED the game I saw him in Washington. Think Ceci and Jultz combined.

 

[joestevens29]

Come on, Holland.

I can't believe the desperation to get rid of such a good player.

I don't know who Armstrong's boss is, but maybe it's time to fire the guy. What they paying Saad, Hayes and Kapanen 11mil? 12mil? Then so many overpaid d-men.

The guy has done enough tinkering, although someone else in.

I would do it…Would still have to move out some salary even if retained at 50% though… right?

 

[Canovin]

I wonder if Buch secretly demanded a trade and St. Louis is trying to get the most out of him

Holloway, Broberg, and a 1st round pick in 2025 for Pavel Buchnevich (retained). K thanks, Armstrong.

All day long with 50% retention. Foegele would likely need to be sacrificed though. You’ve gotta think some team would give up a decent pick for him as a rental. That helps get back a pick for the Oilers at least.

 

[Draiskull]

Would you guys do 2025 1st, Broberg or Holloway, Bourgault, Feogele for Buch @ 50%?

Nope

Interesting idea

It's pretty certain that D is what we are after

In a way this is a bit of a red flag right? Why are the Blues so seemingly desperate to move this guy?

Don't get me wrong though I'd give up anything not bolted down to add him half off.

Yeah, I don't agree with your assessment of Ceci. Just seeing him being the main culprit for Zacha's goal last night makes me gag. But, if the oilers play his minutes carefully, then MAYBE he'll be fine in a 3rd pair. But then having DD as a top 4 doesn't make me confident either.

It's pretty certain that D is what we are after

Just let a man dream, brother lol.

3rd team to be a broker again. Give that team a pick.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Buchnevich for Broberg one for one let's go

I see it as Buchnevich wants $$$$ and the blues rather collect prospects/picks than having to pay him.

 

[joestevens29]

Maybe like Markstrom he's sick of hearing his name in rumors and just had enough and asked for that trade as the team obviously was already shopping him.

 

[McAsuno]

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I think there talking to the devils

Smith and Toffoli would be great

 

[Tarus]

Come on, Holland.

Two years of Buch at 50% salary does sound really nice.

Maybe it's just about maximizing value. 2 cup runs at 50% should net a 1st, top prospect, and another pick

 

[McAsuno]

I'd be very happy if we could get Toffoli and Smith combined.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I really doubt it'll happen but if Holland did get Buchnevich I might have to actually... praise him.

[Canovin]

Holland says he wants a veteran D. But really he just on the phone with St. Louis trying to get Buch at 50%

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Gotta think that takes two of Ryan brown and janmark out of the lineup next game hopefully it isn't Holloway cause he's the only one who will check with the body

Big issue for Holloway is there are 9 forwards clearly ahead of him on the offensive pecking order, and without Gagner, I don't want him on the 4th line with defence only players.


Treat him like Broberg, and have him play all the minutes in Bakersfield. If something happens to a top 9 skater, then you've got him confident in his game and ready to step in when needed.
