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

Not expecting a massive name. Expecting a depth defenseman.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Lol

I'd take cheating the cap for a Cup in a millisecond.

They’d never let us but I’d feel sick winning through cheating. Competition should have integrity, the Cup should be earned fairly.

 

[sepHF]

Does this make anyone else laugh?

Getting really tired of people saying "they're not cheating they're just doing what's allowed in the CBA" on the mainboard/social media. Sure, LTIR use is allowed in the CBA, but a player staying on LTIR if he's cleared to play is not. Mark Stone 100% should be required to have diagnostic imaging done on or around their last game of the season and have it evaluated by an independently hired specialist. If he's deemed healed and fit to play then he should be forced off LTIR. In fact they really should force any player on LTIR to undergo thorough examination before playoffs to see if they are actually LTIR eligible. The fact that the league doesn't do this already kind of shows how much of a laughing stock the NHL is as a professional sports league.

The trade deadline needs to be moved to the middle of February.

 

[CupofOil]

You just know that Colorado is going to make a big move too

Did you miss the Middlestat trade? Unless you mean ANOTHER big move

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Then you have some Oilers media calling this 'All in' which is embarassing lol

All in is throwing in next years first, Brobeerg, Holloway and other prospects ont he table

Brad Holland said that his dad doesn’t like to swing and make big trades. “You can do that when you’re in the big chair” is what the elder Holland told him. This was on Stauffer’s show last year. Brad found Ekholm and sold him to Ken- but Ekholm wasn’t a big swing (despite his impact in Edmonton). Guentzel is a big swing. Buch is a big swing. Don’t expect it

Ekholm was a bigger swing than either of them.

Don’t worry, the minute Edmonton tries this they’ll close the loophole.

We should try it ASAP then.

 

[Sanchez]

OILER

I think he's a realistic target

 

[FlameChampion]

Well they traded their 2025 1st on Walker. They still have 2024 first. It’s weird. Highly likely they are moving it.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

For Vegas.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Vegas getting 75 % retention too lol. They are getting Guentzel too. Conroy is such a POS

 

[CupofOil]

Ekholm was a bigger swing than either of them.

And Ken executed the trade for Ekholm not Brad. The analytics guys hate to give Ken Holland any credit, it's just silly at this point.

 

[oXo Cube]

For Vegas.

We're talking about Toffoli not Crosby

 

[mkatcherin00]

in terms of a potential Guentzal move to VAN. Canucks have novody that can make plays like Crosby or McDrai. They have a bunch of hard skilled grinders like Miller or a soft as diarrea Petey who doesn't come close.

 

[LevelingSolo]

IDk if the defence core worries me that much, the Penguins and Capitals both won with a pretty average defence group

 

[frag2]

Don’t worry, the minute Edmonton tries this they’ll close the loophole.

I almost kind of hope we do it, become the sacrificial lamb that’s made an example out of, just to close the f***ing loophole

But Oilers too classy to f***ing play the LTI game.

Jeezus christ

What a shit Gm COnroy is

 

[McFlyingV]

I think he's a realistic target

They've added depth without subtracting depth so there's no reason now not to upgrade on a Foegele or Ceci. Going to be a bit annoying if they don't do one of those things, but at the same time I could also see Foegele getting streaky at the right time and having a big playoffs so who really knows lol.

 

[Soundwave]

IDk if the defence core worries me that much, the Penguins and Capitals both won with a pretty average defence group

Unfortunately they had .920+ goaltending. I don't think we get that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

We're talking about Toffoli not Crosby

Why not both?

Probably because management knows we’ll be f***ed over if we try.
