Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Broberg, Holloway and Ceci are Gone, Do We Add Another D Before Camp?

[Lay Z Boy GM]

What do the Leafs want for Nick Robertson? Does he make our group to small?

Personally I think we’ve got just enough smaller guys right now. We’ve got enough top 6 wingers and I’d rather have size on the wings in the bottom 6.

This is completely off topic, but I saw an article about Petr Nedved, so I looked him up, trying to remember when his brief stint with the Oilers was. I have no memory of his 2nd stint though...

did he not spend it injured?

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Man Nedved was such a perfect fit, I was so sure he’d play with us for a few years. He would have been great with Hemsky.

I can’t blame him, probably hard to say no to a supermodel wife.

Edit: I don’t even remember his 2nd stint with the Oilers.

That wrist shot he had. Used it so many times after we got him at the deadline. What a beauty.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I definitely think we should make sure whoever it is is buriable. So that's 1.125 unless that number has risen lately. But I agree with you in that every 100k matters. You'd think PTOs will take what they can get (although maybe some bottom feeders are offering decent cash but they want a good team)

I mean these guys and their agents aren't dumb, they know the situations with the team, so they know the "dollars" will be offered.

06-07 season. Off waivers from the Flyers IIRC.

The year that could have been. Nedved and Hemsky were magic together. Even his second stint when he Nedved and Sykora played together before Nedved got injured was pretty nice to watch. The real unsung hero during the 03 season though was Adam Oates. He turned Horcoff and Stoll into face off specialists. Paired with all the young guys playing for the roadrunners during the lock out year that team was a result of the end season run of 03/04.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Corey Perry at Smackdown with one of his kids (I think he has more than one) got to get into it with a heel who wore a Tkachuk Pathers' uni to the ring, can we take a moment to thank the Hawks for having a tantrum so the Oilers could finally bring him in.

 

[McDoused]

youre crazy, 2 first for a 32 year old D man?

Not sure you read it correctly.

 

[McDoused]

My problem with Robertson isn't that he's not very fast. We need bigger physical wingers in our bottom 6.

Ideally Ryan and Perry are off the roster. I think Lavoie has a realistic chance at being our 4RW. I would keep an eye on the waiver wire if we need another winger (assuming Kane is injured to start the year).

Yup IIRC.

He started the season with the Flyers as a -20 in 21 games.

It's too bad the way things ended, because his story was amazing and he was solid player for a long time.

 

[McHelpus]

So apparently we talked to Giordano. He is almost 41 years old.

I worry his tank might be completely empty, but he had solid results against non-elites in Toronto.

I think hes a good option as a 6/7 but I dont know if hes an every day player.

He would also have to publicly say how he chose us over calgary because he wanted to win lmao.

 

[brentashton]

Shattenkirk is interesting.. haven’t watched him too much for a few years but if he can skate I know he’d be NHL caliber and reliable enough.

As far as Crosby, god it would be a dream to have him join the Oilers. He would definitely choose Colorado though and part of me would love to see it, except I’m sure they’d f*** us over and win the Cup.

Maybe if we had some Olympics the last few damn years McDavid and Crosby would be buddies, winning two golds together.. stupid NHL.

He’s fallen a lot .

Well, we did bring in Manning after he broke McDavid's collarbone. Why not bring in Kneeordano too?

I mean the guy is as old as dirt for a NHLer (says the guy older than him!) but maybe as a #7 he'd be fine?

 

[LTIR]

He could be being offered 3 and want 4...

Would've bought it if it was July 7th or even Aug 7th and not Spt 7th.
No player or GM would do that to themselves or the club.

My worry with guys like Perry, Ryan, Giorano etc is that these guys are going to play more than they should. If they are playing good than fine. But I just feel the leadership core in general prefers veteran players. I hope Jackson, Bowman, Knoblauch, Coffey etc have their eyes open.

Yup, it's tough for coaches not to trust the Vets.

Do we have a better option on left defense, not really but thinking our right side might need more work first.
