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

[CycloneSweep]

He did earlier, no worries. Though.

So before we traded for a guy who can play top 6 wing?

 

[MessierThanThou]

Imagine the cap space if we didn’t sign Jack Campbell…

Would Holland be this popular if he wasn't succeeding the worst or second-worst GM in the history of the league?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Can you show it? Was it a tweet or an article.

I thought I saw it earlier, I wonder if it was just that Uber driver guy making things up again, Apologies.

Don't worry Cyc, we can quit now.

Nah, it was after that, I thought I read it in this thread, but see my post to Tony.

They still have a means of doing it, it will just take some work, but it's probably easier to not.

I know it’s not even close to a reality, but it would be funny if someone like Crosby was fed up with the VGK bullshit and just said trade me to Edmonton with 87% retention because this crap needs to end.

Vegas is literally a motherf***ing fake franchise

f*** panchod haramda Conroy and Calgary. f***ing pathetic professionalism shown by him.

Can’t give Tanev to a divisional rival but can give your #1 Dman to another division rival

Hard not to be jaded about the cap circumvention. Hope Vegas gets absolutely boot f***ed by whoever they play round 1. Watch them get Guentzel too.

I don't get why there aren't any rumors about Campbell being shopped. It's the most logical thing they should be doing imo.

It says alot about him and how low their fanbase has fallen

Even some Canuck fans. They are in the playoffs and cheering it lol. How effed up is that. They must really think low of their team to be giddy about their rival loading up

 

[Broberg Speed]

Imagine the league deny the Hanifin trade lol

I wouldn't be shocked at this point. How much backlash can the league take?

Can sign UFA for cheap when the team wins a cup

Or the team doesn't win the Cup and then they never win a Cup because there's no way to improve.

Campbell has been available all year. He was even available for free.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Funny how the Bettman fans and the Vegas fans pop out of the woodwork on hf... ever notice that?

This. JC has been shopped since the day he was sent down. Nobody wants him it’s buyout city for Jack this summer I’m afraid.

Because we would have to unload all of our trade assets to get rid of him..

and that might not be enough

That is not true at all. Unless they are AHLers they will be at least 1.1m for a Derek Ryan type. This is the fallacy too many live in.

I don't mean trying to get assets for him. I mean we'll give you draft picks, maybe even players, if you take his contract (ie cap space).

It's funny because you guys would be having a conniption if the Oilers traded a legit NHL player to Calgary at the deadline.

He has that much negative value? There has to be some bottom feeder that would be interested in giving him a shot if you pay them with picks.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Trade deadline week and the weeks following playoff elimination are good times to take a forum break.

The outrage gets a little over the top around here.

Not hearing rumors cause everyone has probably said no already.

 

[Jarvi]

Why haven't we heard anything about attaching picks/Prospects to get him the f*** out? All we know is no one wanted Jack straight up, no shit, no one wanted Jack except Holland before his career imploded.

Guess we need to save those picks for more Xavier Bourgault's for the system

 

[foshizzle]

Ekholm was a bigger swing than either of them.

No he isn’t. His impact has been - but at the time- Ekholm wasn’t a big swing.

 

[McDrai]

Do we have a bust Russian prospect in the system that we can offer to Conroy for Anderssen?

 

[dem]

Arguably the most impactful position on the team… and he’s unplayable.

And he comes with a 5 million dollar cap hit for 3 more years.

Yes. Epic negative value.

Yeah, but what do we have to surrender to get teams to accept a $5 million AHL backup?
