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

[frag2]

Jeezus christ

What a shit Gm COnroy is

Calgary MO.
Do whatever it takes so Edmonton doesn’t win, even if it hurts themselves in the long run

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

Were f***ed as is not trying
I don’t get why Edmonton is always so passive when it comes to LTIR shenanigans. Every other team seeming looks for ways to game it but us

So if Oilers end up with Henrique, Carrick and a Edmundson tier defenseman, will it be a disappointment?

I say yes.

Even moreso because Henrique is old and not likely to help beyond this year and we traded the first for him.

 

[Wreckus]

Bet Vancouver & LA are pissed at Calgary & Vegas as well on the Hanafin trade.

Vegas is making good use of the system. Look around the league. We just need an injury prone plug and play 9m player. Gotta play the game to keep up.

Anyhow not playing out as expected but happy with today’s move. Pick for retention pretty much eliminates improvement on the back end so a middling back up will have to do.

I completely forgot about Pickard lol. I don't think they are touching goalies. They have enough on their plate

No, it's about what I expected. There's a chance they get him signed beyond this year and Ekholm is also old, has he not helped?

Would have liked more defensive help but I don't think trading a 1st for Walker was the answer.

Almost kinda wonder if you're better off just paying more instead to get a Provorov or Chychrun or Buchnevic who could be here for at least two years.

OILER

But Ken has his man.

 

[mkatcherin00]

My prediction. COl will add somebody like Tofolli. Van or Veg get Guentzal.

This is our all in year, Brown's cap carry over and likely a Campbell buyout cap hit will be on the books next season. Then we are looking at whether Drai will come back and then Bouch's extension followed by Connor's. This deadline is looking pretty pedestrian at this point after a poor offseason. "All in"

 

[mkatcherin00]

Conroy gets a no name russian dman as part of the return. He is loving them russians

He spent his first, that is all in for him. Holland won’t move Broberg or Holloway and we don’t have much of value outside of that.

He went all in for his 2 guys and he will get a depth defender. That’s it. All signs point to that. He already pretty much gave his end of deadline presser.

Henrique is older at the time of the trade and is not the same caliber of player as Ekholm.

I would have liked more impactful additions.

No. We addressed the clear needs with nothing but magic beans in a shitty draft, and kept Broberg and Holloway who we will need next year on the cheap . Can re-sign these 2 new additions in the offseason probably for hometown discounts.

I said last week there were going to be a lot of pissed off people who wanted the bright shiny names but we don’t have the prospect pool thanks to brutal drafting the past 5 years or the cap space Vegas gets to outright cheating every season.

Should have gone all in for Zub and Guentzel.

 

[McWeber]

Can we somehow call up a certain 5 million dollar goaltender only to have him slip on the ice and say he threw out his back?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

You could say he "russian" to trade for them

Like 1 year older lol

Which impactful additions (realistic) did you expect?

Sorry. Was referring to a D.

1st round picks for huge LTIR contracts incoming.

1 year is significant when you’re in your mid thirties.

Would have liked a Buchnevich/Guentzel tier forward and a Zub tier defenseman. If not both then at least one.

 

[Stoneman89]

What a complete bunch of scumbags. Just watch Stone suddenly arise from the ashes the middle of April. I really want them to miss the playoffs badly now.

 

[mkatcherin00]

stupid campbell trade man. We would have a shit ton of cap space without him here lol

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Goddam it why did hanifin have to go to Vegas of all places

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Florida calling out Vegas’ bullshit. About time.
