Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Dermott on a PTO, Will We See More PTO's? Can We Get Some Toughness Too Please?

I wonder if we start seeing guys hit waivers this week.

Vancouver waives Woo and Brisebois, so it begins

Why didnt they just resign Desharnais over Stetcher and Brown? Very confusing stuff.

and he's junk

 

[Louis Cypher]

Haven't we reduced our roster yet? Didn't see any assignments or cuts.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He makes 200k more than both. Stetcher and Brown are garbage, terrible signings.

You don’t seem to know how the salary cap works

At the time they didn’t know they’d lose broberg. Plan was to pay Broberg 1-1.5.

Wanner, Hoefenmayer, and de Jong to the Condors earlier today.

I think he hindsight they probably wish they kept Vinny, but in hindsight they probably would've traded Holloway/Broberg or been more aggressive in re-signing them.

Oh well, them are the risks. I'm not the one being paid millions to figure it out lol

Edit: Although truthfully Brown and Stetcher are probably here either way. Maybe just not on the big club like it looks

Probably not, but if they extended Desharnais an extra year to reduce the cap hit it might have worked. I just don't understand why they would give Brown 3 years.

and he's junk

Better than Brown and Stetcher

Because that wasn't the choice.

He makes 200k more than both. Stetcher and Brown are garbage, terrible signings.

He makes $200K more than both, because that's different that what you were originally saying.

 

[Jumptheshark]

You have so many bad takes that are just full of assumptions. Maybe you keep your opinions to your own board, Oiler hater.

LOL at "Vegas got lucky with Stone's timing". If you think that was luck I have some ocean front property in Vegas to sell you. "Luck", my ass.

I already sold him on some great swamp land in florida and a house being built on Saturn

Garbage based on what?

Yes but Desharnais is an average bottom pair defender. Signing him for the cost of a 6 and 7 d means we would be running 6 d all season and have games of only 5 d if we get injured.
He wasn’t worth his contract and imho, in his time last year Stercher looked as good as Desharnais

 

[McTonyBrar]

Garbage based on what?

Garbage based on their careers

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Garbage based on their careers

Who should they have signed to take their spots instead?

They are signed to be in the 6-8 spot on the depth chart.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

People coming down off the brown delusions? Guy should not be anything more than a popcorn eater.

 

[McDNicks17]

Some fans still mad at Stecher and Brown because they were brought in rather than the garbage PTOs they wanted.
