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

[foshizzle]

Stetcher has solid third pair numbers and can transition the puck. Does this mean Ceci or Kulak are going to be moved?

edit: saw no retention on Stetcher...that makes no sense

 

[McFlyingV]

If Carrier doesn't move somewhere else I'm going to assume he was never an option, Predators are playing well, seems like a weird decision to move a good player now.

Not really. It would be very similar to the Flyers moving Walker. If they're not close on contract talks they might as well get something for him. I don't honestly believe that Nashville thinks they have a shot at the cup this year. They're probably just happy to get some playoff experience for their young guys as they retool.

Why? In theory
Ceci out, Carrier in, Foegele out Eberle in. We would even be ahead in cap

We can still fit in Foegele even if we get Ebs.

Carrier most likely not coming here.

 

[iCanada]

Oh didn't see that. Then waive Brown and you pretty much haven't added any cap with the Stetcher acquisition.

Yeah we can still fit some players in for sure. We've got 2.1 million in space and Stetcher will only use 250,000 of that.

We currently can't add Eberle without cap out.

Carolina waived 3 guys today, and is said to be in on Guentzel.

Keep Foegele - should work out with 50% retention on both guys.

 

[Old Boys Club]

I still think they're going to do more, at least they're not done trying.

They were in on Tanev and have been in on some big name FWDs. The org knows Ceci isn't good enough and that there's a hole at 2RW. They didn't acquire Henrique to play him on the wing. There's more to come IMO. Maybe I'm just being optimistic.

 

[CupofOil]

Stetcher I remember being pretty good.

He's good depth, I like that better than like Edmundson.

Still would like a Ceci upgrade and a winger though.

Agreed, I think Stecher was the best of the #7 Dman options. Moves the puck pretty well actually.

Thats not how that works. We had an "effective 2.1 million in cap". Which means we can add 2.1 mill of aav.

Hopefully Ceci, but I don't think it would mean that Stetcher is in the top 6. He's injury protection for the bottom pair is my guess and honestly having Broberg-Stretcher as your 7-8 D is pretty good insurance come playoff time.

Hey if that happens I’ll be happy.

 

[Arpeggio]

That would be a good result for us considering the Vancouver and Vegas rumours.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Nope. Both at 50% puts us over the cap a whole Foegele.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Money in money out would be needed to make any further trades

Not true - still have ~ 1M in cap space

Dude, please stop with the insulting names.

 

[iCanada]

We currently can't add Eberle without cap out.

Yes we can, just need retention. After this move we have around 1.85 million to spend - Eberle has only 1.2 million cap remaining.

If you retain half or 75% of that he's only going to take up 0.3 to 0.6 million AAV. Salary cap is accrued daily and averaged.

 

[Arpeggio]

Dude, please stop with the names.

It is funny how much people hate on Bob. Dude's just doing his job the best he can lol, as far as I know he's a pretty good guy.

The retention is irrelevant. Whether it's 1.1m or 550K, the Oilers still have to move out money to make a more significant trade either way.

The dude is a straight up schill, of course some people dislike him.

 

[Wreckus]

Makes me wonder if a deal between Edmonton and Seattle has a verbal deal agreed upon if Seattle can’t extend Eberele.

Tonight after the game or tomorrow may be interesting.

Good go there instead of the west lol

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Stecher isn't a big difference maker, but he's a better player they got for less.
