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

[Cloned]

Bargain bin option:

Berabanov + Rutta

Berabanov can play in the top 6 and Rutta has played on top pairings before.

Christ VEG 1st pick is next year or 2026

They did this just to mess with EDM

I think what concerned me most is that we lost to a Vegas team that was missing Eichel and Theodore.

Yeah I agree, now they added Hanifin and potentially the likes of Guentzel. Watch that fraud Stone come back 100% healthy for G1/G2 in the playoffs for the 1st round. f***ing joke.

You got a valid point

I love watching flames fans getting excited about the picks they got. Meanwhile Pachal is a top 4 dman, Coleman and Mangipane are on the top line and their starting goaltender hates their GM.

Vegas is not even giving them a first until 2025 or 2026 and there are conditions. COnroy just handed Hanifin over

f*** is it ever funny to watch you guys absolute lose it shitting your pants over hockey trades.

Saw this tweet on my TL. Boils my blood even more.
No cap relief for you Oilers despite Keith retiring! James Neal must score 21+ goals in order for the flames to get the Oilers 3rd pick. He only scored 19 goals? Well too bad Edmonton, you have to forfeit the 3rd pick regardless!

Yet teams like Vegas can f*** with the cap using LTIR over and over again, and the NHL doesn't give a shit. f*** you Gary Bettman.

 

[Old Boys Club]

VGK still have their 2024 first, another underpayment trade initializing. Incoming Buchnevich trade for a whim and a song.

You want an award for fans being rightfully annoyed about Vegas doing the same shit every year without any problems from the league? It isn't just Oiler fans being annoyed about this. Gonna sing the same tune if Vegas knocks us out in the 1st or 2nd round again too? Might as well bookmark your ridiculous post.

On the bright side what an absolute hilarious return for Calgary. Might not even get the pick til 2026 lmao

 

[McDoused]

I still think Carolina will grab one of Guentzel or Buchnevich.

 

[McAsuno]

You heard it here first. LTIRing Martinez and somehow still being able to acquire Buchnevich or Guentzel after.

 

[soothsayer]

What I didn't expect: Holland breaking his policy of not trading a 1st for a rental . . . for Adam f***ing Henrique. Good job, fellas.

I have already posted on this, it’s hard to ignore that conroy seems to be actively ensuring teams that will face the oilers are getting a boost here.

I've hated the Leafs and Flames my whole life. With a real passion. But I think my hate for Vegas has now surpassed that level. I want to play them in the first round and be the team that eliminates them. I think our boys would be highly motivated for the task.

 

[McDoused]

So right now we have 1.2M in space. If we wanted to upgrade on Ceci that would be 4.45M available. Clearly we are going to go out and get a 17.8M player double retained.

calgary’s Gm is god awful

Conroy cared more about not retaining salary and trading players to western conference teams than actually getting a decent return.

I don't mind the trade for Henrique using the 1st. I'm annoyed if the management only acquire a depth 7th d veteran d man tomorrow or Friday and then gets satisfied to call it a day.

Hard to be optimistic when this team still lacks a top 6 scoring winger and a top 4 RHD to replace Ceci meanwhile Vegas is shooting out trades like they're the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

[Old Boys Club]

VGK might actually get BOTH Buchnevich and Guentzel. I was memeing at first, but they have the space for them with retention and it's totally going to happen. VGK will be able to add 3 top 6 players and a top 4 defenseman because of this ridiculous LTIR rule.

I had a jersey from when they first came into the league. Buried it last month. I tried throwing it in the garbage can, but it kept circumventing the lid.

Flames nation realizing that the player they select in 2026 might not even play for them until 2030. Lol

It's a money in money out league, for 31 teams that is. One team seems to have an ability to generate infinite cap space.
