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

[Oilhawks]

I've wanted them to sign Stecher as a cheap RD since he's been bouncing around a bit, so I'm pretty happy with his addition as a depth D.

 

[Seachd]

I hope Moverare gets claimed by anyone.

For the 100th time Kesserling requested a trade. He felt our depth was too much and he would never play here.

It's also likely an astute observation by him. He likely has been toiling away in Bakersfield and isn't the player he is today if he didn't go to the yotes.

4th for Stecher, hopefully retained salary

 

[jeffff]

Absolutely nothing wrong with picking up Stecher, good depth d-man. Depth is not only a necessity in the playoffs but it helps down the stretch as well.....I should sat down the stech.

Who cares what Kesselring wanted? His rights belonged to the Oilers. What was he going to do, refuse a recall if he got a chance? Not sign an RFA deal and just sit his career out?

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

He looked decent with Vancouver from what I remember but this isn't a Ceci upgrade

A +5 in 47 games on Arizona is talented lol.

Or a miracle…

He can move the puck, that's always good with this group of forwards.

 

[McJadeddog]

Oh the irony after dealing a bigger better right handed shot in Kesselring

Well that is the risk when you trade magic beans, some of grow up and lead to golden eggs. Most don't, but some do. Kesselring appears to be one of the cases where it did. Its the risk you take

Yes he would have refused to sign much like Reider and that forward we shipped to the canes did (can’t remember his name Riley Nash I think). If he didn’t sign he would have either gone back on the draft or been a UFA. This exact thing happened with Lombardi and Stoll as well. Both refused to sign and ended up on opposite teams after going back in the draft.

Stecher and a 7th to us for a 4th per Friedman.

 

[McFlyingV]

Stetcher's a nice pick up as depth. From what I remember of him skates fairly well and can move the puck alright. Hoping we're still in on one more trade though. Preferably Carrier.

Carrier @50% in Ceci out should open enough space to still add a 5-6M forward with retention I'm pretty sure. Lets see if Kenny has the balls to really go all in.

I think he's a Ceci side grade - but one thing I'll note is I probably play Stetcher over Ceci because he has less of a tendency to cheat forward for offense.

That drives me nuts about Ceci. He makes higher risk reward plays like that and they're always awful - all risk no reward.

I get it that he's a good skater but like man... Hands / Shot / passing of stone.

I don't think that was an option for him, he was already signed.

Follow Jordan Schmaltz on Twitter. He is on fire this morning.

Can retrieve pucks

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That's a pretty minimal price but definitely hope there are other moves coming.

Are you thinking Marino? Can you provide me with a report of that?

hopefully 50% retained

Yeah Ceci's puck retrieval is horrendous. I really do think Nurse would look so much better with a mobile puck moving D that doesn't get them constantly hemmed in.

 

[oilers4life5]

We collecting 7ths. Going to draft some studs.

Trading Kesserling was a mistake plain and simple. Said it then. Saying it again now.

Kesselring was already under contract for the Oilers. He played 2 years for our AHL team. There was no going back into the draft. There was no going to UFA.

 

[PBandJ]

No retention. Gonna guess we're done then.
