Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Forwards & Goaltending Under a Microscope, Which Bottom 6 Forwards Do You Keep?

Dineen was quite good and capable in his time. At some point you have to replace aging veterans with young players. If Oilers moved Kulak 2 seasons ago- Broberg would still be here

Dineen is an AHLer. Would get exposed over a full season.

Young players sure.

Well seeing these trade returns, Gibson shouldn’t cost more than a 4th

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

lol Buffalo is a sad joke

 

[Sanchez]

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Holland f***ing us over even after he’s left the team.

Always, have you seen Nurse

 

[Canovin]

7.7 is too much for us anyway.

Sign Glass, Boeser, Formenton to 1 year show me deals. Cup run deals. We need some of these to hit.

Where’s Virtanen?

Jarventie is a better player than Formenton right now. The kid is like Elias Petterson

They should honestly fold at this point. They were bad like us during the decade of darkness and have still managed to be bad up to this point. I would have completely lost interest in watching hockey if that were the case with the Oilers

If Buffalo trades Byram+Doan++ for Dobson they're actually doing well considering the circumstances

 

[La Bamba]

Dennis King is fantastic. He uses data based analytics. It makes no sense to have 4 left D. One of them has to go.

true but Kulak at 2.75M is incredible value

if anything, Ekholm is the one to trade. oldest, highest cap hit, and likely best value.

Walman - Bouchard
Nurse - RHD
Kulak - Emberson
Stecher

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

That’s a pretty decent extension as well.

They will not, I suspect they'll buyout samuelsson

 

[McDoused]

In what world does a 23 year old 70 point 1st line player get traded for a guy who scored 7 goals and a low end 4- high end 5 defenceman?

God i hate Buffalo just giving away good players to the west.

 

[Oilhawks]

Ah, there it is

Don’t think the Oil could afford that extension

 

[McShogun99]

Did Buffalo just trade Peterka for the prospect we threw into the Bjustad trade???

 

[Canovin]

Buffalo can pick up a free asset in Nurse if they're moving Byram and buying out Samuelsson

Maybe the 7.7m cap lowered his value. Buffalo ownership is so dumb though.

 

[LTIR]

Josh Doan?

Utah might regret that. Think there is a player there, personally.

Doan is already 23 and just became a NHL regular.

Yes.

I'm expecting Buffalo to trade Byram and Josh Norris for Elias Petterson

Wouldn’t surprise me. Vancouver probably thinks he’s still a superstar though.

How about Byram to VAN for Evander Kane :/

 

[soothsayer]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Nurse isn't waiving his NMC to go to Buffalo ...

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

He probably meant Pettersson the defenseman.

 

[FlameChampion]

The good one then

17.1 mil in cap space...trading Arvidsson would open up another 4 mil for 21.1...HUGE!

https://puckpedia.com/team/edmonton-oilers

Keep in mind that about 14m of that will be eaten up by Bouchard and Frederic so it's really about $3m.of cap space. They have to move Arvidsson if they want to improve the roster.
