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

[FlameChampion]

Who all remembers the great claims that Edmundson was 1st round pick quality?

I sure do!

He’ll never be as magnificent as the great Chiarot

 

[Magnum23]

Can we just rid of Brown stain? Crazy how many people defend him on reddit.....they will go as far as saying that they are ok with his zero offense ..."he skates hard, and does not give his opponents a lot of time with the puck" lol

 

[FlameChampion]

Why do the leafs always acquire a bunch of bottom pair D?

Shanahan loves them is my guess

 

[LTIR]

With CBJ our opponents, Boqvist could showcase his skills to Holland.. Peeke another target if looking for #6/#7

They now have 6 bottom pairing defenseman!

Benoit
Lagesson
Lyubushkin
Timmins
Giordano
Edmundson

Brodie is playing way over his head at his age.

Liljegren shouldn't be a regular in the top 4.

McCabe is a nice #4 but.

Rielly is their only top pairing guy.

Some of you have ridiculous unrealistic expectations

Some of you are never willing to place any blame onto management for it's own inactivity.

A significant Ceci upgrade is a bit ambitious sure but I don't think demanding a 2RW is ridiculous or unrealistic at all. There were/are plenty available. Some have even moved for relatively little.

Maybe he'll click with the 2 new adds. Willing to give him a bit more rope.

Foegele is not consistent enough to be in the top six, so upgrading him would be nice.

Eberle and Larsson

For

Foegele, Ceci, Broberg, Xborg, 2nd

It would be nice to upgrade on Foegele considering he is leaving anyways.

 

[McJadeddog]

Eberle would be a great 2nd line RW addition for certain. Foegele would likely have to be going the other way you'd think to make the money work though, so its not a huge upgrade really. Eberle > Foegele I suppose, but its not a huge difference really, as Foegs hits and is scoring at somewhat the same rate really. Somewhat creates a hole in the 3rd line as well. I suppose the 3rd line would become McLeod-Henrique-Perry in that case.

Larsson isn't coming back to Edmonton. His mother refuses to come here after the passing of his father and he wants to play somewhere his mom will actually come to.

Maybe if he was a UFA you might be able to convince him to come on a run, but even then I have my doubts.

Maybe they hope they'll morph together into a top-4 defenseman.

He absolutely does not.

Yeah I love Larsson, but he isn't coming back, and its for a very good personal reason. People need to stop talking about this, it ain't happening.

I think they could get him at 25% and still keep Foegele. Lots of assets with double retention though

Sorry he absolutely does not what? Can you expand on what you mean by this please?

 

[Soli]

Why are you pretentious

You’re fortunate there isn’t a dislike button.

 

[McShogun99]

That would be amazing. Maybe Paul Coffey would let him wear #7? (I'm being nuts lol)



DO IT. DO IT.

If we can't get a Ceci replacement then we might as well load up at forward.

Lmao ok jan

My friend texted me "I don't understand the Henrique trade" then I texted back "What don't you understand?" then he said "Why trade for him and then send him packing?". Then hasn't gotten back to me.
Am I missing something?

 

[mkatcherin00]

Hmm so Henrique at LW with Drai and Kane. Slowest line on the team lol

Your friend must have talked to @saskytaxi

 

[TB12]

I hate the flames but in think you are spot on. When the ownership starts nixing gm moves you know there is power struggle.

Murray is an idiot.

I'm not a flames fan but it's a hell of a lot funner when both oilers and calgary are competing against each other

Nope. It's a hell of a lot more fun when they now get to suffer their own DOD. The amount of shit they heaped onto the Oilers during the DOD makes me enjoy the shit of the beginning of their slide from mediocrity into being truly horrible.

Adding on to that a crap GM that actively helps other Pacific division teams and well EAT SHIT FLAMES.

Foegele absolutely does not have to be move with Holloway in Bako. Just takes a bit of creativity.

Your friend must have thought that we sent him to Tampa Bay because they needed to retain?

Yes getting Eberle is not a huge upgrade imo. If they both don't score I would argue that Foegele brings a little more than ebs with his size, grittiness and hustle.

But if Eberle finds his scoring touch, our offense and finishing ability definitely improves. I don't trust Foegeles to score any big goals for us during playoffs, Eberle has that ability - when he wants to do it that is.
