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

[WaitingForUser]

I’ve been touting him as the final solution for the Oilers D for months. I’d be very happy with that! Even posted today about getting deep into Buchnevic talks then telling the Blues we’d need Parayko instead if they want their preferred assets. Ceci and Foegele out would work with the cap also. Wouldn’t need any retention on Parayko.

Months? I’ve been screaming for him since the Bouchard draft he is the PERFECT partner for Nurse and I would do anything to get him here shy if trading McDrai

 

[Broberg Speed]

I was gonna say after today's pickups, our focus needs to be a dman. But if you can land a guy like Buch and stack our forwards.. i'd be comfortable with our defence the way it is... with a foward group that good.

If the team buys 100% into the zone defense Oilers become the toughest out in the NHL with the center depth.

 

[McAsuno]

Buch is closer to Draisaitl than he is Foegele

It's rather insulting to Buchnevich for him to be only a moderate upgrade on Foegele lol. I like Foegs, but nobody in their right mind would take him over Buchnevich.

 

[Faelko]

I know he's not coming here, but yesterday they said Guentzal should be traded by the evening

As soon as the taxi driver from Sask gets off his shift we should know where Guentzel is going …

2025 1st, 2024 2nd, 2024 3rd, Bourgault and Foegele for Buch 50%.

If Holland isn't willing to move Broberg or Holloway.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

We are literally a #7 RHD D and a RW away from being a real threat

 

[CycloneSweep]

I’d do 25 first and bourgault and foegele (cap) for buchnevich 50%

With buch here next season there’s no shot for bourgault to even make our team for 2 years unless you see him playing 4th line

Nuge-Mcdavid-hyman
Kane-Draisaitl-buch
McLeod-Henrique-perry
Janmark-carrick-brown/Ryan/holloway

Bourgault doesn’t have that kind of value

 

[Old Boys Club]

2nd + Lavoie + Connor Brown for Toffoli @50% and Colin Miller @50%

Fits under cap with Holloway in the minors

Just like Campbell, I'd be super amazed if anybody trades for 0 goal juggernaut Connor Brown lmaooooo.

We are a real threat. We are close to being THE threat

They’d probably covet Akey as well looking at their right D depth chart. Oilers definitely have the pieces to get it done, or at least make another move of equal significance.

Just included for cap purposes. He's 725K, no downside for a team who is selling. Oilers could just waive him instead, doesn't make a difference.

Too many good teams especially with what they added for us to be called a threat. With Buch, we are the threat.

I feel like if that was the case, the team would've already waived him instead of Gagner but idk

Agreed one more top 6 forward pushes the needle to legit Cup threat. Or Parayko

 

[CycloneSweep]

What are you talking about. We are a threat right now. We have been arguably the best team in the league since the coaching change analytically and results wise.

lol- came to post the same thing @saskytaxi

 

[mkatcherin00]

Unfortunately I agree

I think they value ekholms opinion. He told them he sees all of the tools for him to be a top 4 and it takes time

 

[McAsuno]

f*** off

 

[MessierThanThou]

You mean a second-pairing RHD? Ceci isn't going to cut it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

f*** off

They do have a weak left side

 

[McAsuno]

 

[Canovin]

So what's the jury on Martinez? What injury? So lame. IR 2 days before deadline. How convenient

 

[mkatcherin00]

He probably meets a lot of people. My uncle came to Edmonton back in the very early 80s and said he always used to drive the Oilers around

 

[McAsuno]

They're the new leafs. In on every f***ing player. No teams should help those assholes with the way they cheat the cap every year with the LTIR bs.
