Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: Help Wanted

[McTonyBrar]

lindgren is a sneaky good LD. Exact type of player we need, of couse. Now expect to get some washed 7D

Lol really? From what Rangers fans have said, Lindgren is Ceci but less skill/heart

 

[Jumptheshark]

Listen to them all the time. All they do is speculate.

That is their job

Thats all?

Don't blame a guy for not wanting to commit medical fraud.

Ha. You mean the guy jogging in the summer in the river valley who waited till camp to do surgery. That guy?

 

[North]

Nyqvist to Minny. DeHaan to Rangers and Lindgren to Avs.

Vesey too?


lol I disagree. Even if we want changes, what assets do we have?

I want Holland back

Calm down.

 

[McHelpus]

Thats all?

When you have capspace its very easy to make trades.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Calm down.

Holland got us Ekholm.

Bowman got us Kapanen and Klingberg..

 

[North]

Holland got us Ekholm.

Bowman got us Kapanen and Klingberg..

I didn’t realize the trade deadline was over.

This overreaction is pathetic and getting old.

 

[McDrai]

After today's game we have 2 days to get back to Edmonton and then start a 3 game home stand. Today and tomorrow would be good times to get some trades done IMO.

That’s not how we roll though. Our management usually books a hotel conference room downtown the day of and then try to pull off a last minute trade or two

 

[McShogun99]

Holland got us Ekholm.

Bowman got us Kapanen and Klingberg..

But he didn’t have to give up a Reid Schaffer for those two….

It's not even his injury that would be in question. He could easily argue that his conditioning isn't up to par. And it likely isn't. That alone puts him at an increased likelihood of reinjury.

I listened to that Friedman segment on Hello Hockey.

Friedman says he's heard that Evander Kane wants to prove that he can be a big factor in the playoffs for the Edmonton Oilers. His injuries during the SC Finals are on his mind and he feels like he needs to prove he can still be a big benefactor.

I want him back so bad... but not until the playoffs

Of course, he was a bum/scrub until the player is traded/waived and the Oilers were not in on it.


Lindgren is now a top2 shutdown D

/s

Kane would be a big asset to have in the playoffs. Let’s say worst case scenario that his offense drops off a cliff…he still brings physicality that our team sorely lacks.
I don’t really understand the narrative of Kane wanting to screw the team over. He wants to make sure that he is ready to go for game 1. That includes getting some games in near the end of the season. I’d rather have Kane on the books than Arvidsson who has been terrible this year and has a history of vanishing in the playoffs

 

[soothsayer]

If his contract is insured it’s insurance fraud.

Who is paying his salary? Unless you know that, you can't make this claim at all. An insurer would be all over this if they thought they were being defrauded lol.

 

[Zerotonine]

This is how it should be. If Kane wants to sewer the Oilers' chance of bringing in another star player, which is necessary to win the cup, because he wants to play a few regular season games, then he's out.

R u serious with this? Guy wants to possibly play and you shit in him?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Friedman also said Oilers have discussed goaltending and, because of Gibson's healthy issues, it seems unlikely.

He didn't say no though. If Pickards pulls a Skinner tonight, we may go for one

 

[soothsayer]

I did not shit in him.

 

[Zerotonine]

I didn’t like the signing for several reasons. First- I remember folks like Kevin Weekes saying Kane will get 7M in the open market and Kane penning his farewell to Edmonton- then circling back to the oilers for a lower amount just showed that GMs around the league weren’t interested in him- despite the playoff performance. Lots of apprehension out there.

Then there was the San Jose thing. Everyone knew San Jose would be penalized and Kane would be made whole again. Turns out the ruling was Kane gets topped up by San Jose to his full 7M salary. Oilers could have signed Kane for 1M and San Jose would have had to pay the balance. Why not wait for the ruling? Third, why give this player a 4 year deal and a NTC knowing full well he poisons the well wherever he goes. It’s who he is. Holland went full Holland- helped out San Jose so they pay less, paid Kane and gave him everything he wanted. It was bad…


McDavid had almost the exact chance from closer in and Bob saved it in the same period

Yeah was pretty much minutes after mcdavid ce down on a decent rush and probably got off a better shot for sure and Bob just brushed it off easy peasy and didn't even need to go on his knees either lol

 

[Oilhawks]

Gibson can't be the only option, unless they're not seriously looking

And why does one f***ing game matter? They have a season+ body of work to pull from

What an idiot org

The teams in a tailspin. The needs have been obvious for a while. The last thing this team wants to do is get in a bidding war.

 

[Zerotonine]

I did not shit in him.

You basically did. U said of he doesmt wanna sit out the entire regular season so we can benefit from the cap relief then he can basically get bent and piss off

That's right, I said if he's tying the team's hands by maybe-maybe not going to play, and for less than two weeks, which he could do in the AHL, then he's out so the team can use that space on a certainty.

 

[Tarus]

You can learn whether someone is accountable or not.

Never heard the phrases "talk is cheap" or "lip service"?

It requires no effort to act contrite in an interview

 

[McDoused]

Thats all?

What do you mean?
