Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: Help Wanted

[belair]

Well as of right now they haven't had Kane for the entire season and Brown + Henrique + Arvidsson + Skinner have essentially given them close to league minimum production for the price of 15M. I think that's probably a good place to start if you're looking for upgrades with moving cap out.

Brown and Henrique have been effective 5v5 players that have outscored when our scoring lines are not on the ice. The Oilers have been a team that has struggled the depth on that area of the roster throughout the McDavid era.

I don't think you're being realistic if you think we're finding more impactful bottom six players offering up closer to league minimum in lieu of the $3m-$4m the Oilers had to pursue these FAs.

Hahahaha Friedman saying that Henrique also has one

So anyone with big plans in their mind. NOPE.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Maybe we will do the same, for Savard.
2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th this year lol

They won't trade for Savard, though they will overpay for someone underwhelming.

What they should do is trade Pickard for Quick and Skinner for Vanecek, they go into next offseason with a wide open goaltending position to sign Adin Hill to big money if he makes it to UFA status.

I mean we have almost 5.5 million or whatever in space. It's no excuse

I mean he can make moves for sure. We will see what he does.

I just view the roster as having a lot of holes or items to fix.

5.2 will run out quick if hes trying to fix F, D and G. Like I said he might have to target lower cap players.

Here's the tweet from freedman in case anyone wants to see it.

That's just bleak as f***.

 

[McDoused]

any mention of what they are looking for?

we are looking for a D.

Only on the Oilers you can have NMC added near the deadline

Vegas has their 2nd this year OR their 1st next year to spend. And a couple of decent prospects so you are right.

Dallas is the scary one.

Vegas doesnt have a first next year. They have one in 2027. Their prospects aren't great either compared to what other teams, like the Oilers, can give up. They'll get outbid by any team after the same player.

And the follow up…

Vegas does have their first next year…if they don’t spend the 2nd this year.

 

[Canovin]

You know who doesn't have a NMC, Stuart Skinner

For real this time

Crushing it.

So basically Jackson spent 10mill and 3 NMC on a third line lol

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

That's just bleak as f***.

We have hall of fame talent on the ice with a micky mouse management team.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Jackson giving every one of his signings a NMC before hiring a new GM is diabolical.

 

[McHelpus]

Guess I was right. That must bother you LMAO

Now I just looked at puckpedia so I really don't care if i was wrong, but why would they hide this info? How is that allowed?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

And probably Kasperi Kapanen.

Jackson giving every one of his signings a NMC before hiring a new GM is diabolical.

And then hired f***ing Stan. lol

It’s less. We are already using LTIR for the year.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

we are looking for a D.

I meant the ducks sorry.

 

[GM BoJack]

Jeannot wasn't worth it but Hagel definitely was.

The point was that, if they wanted a player, Tampa’s front office will pay the cost.

 

[oXo Cube]

Can't make this shit up lol

If Kane is healthy before the playoffs we should fire everyone and I'm not exaggerating.

? That's not what I'm seeing on Puckpedia. It shows their 2026 1st was moved in a trade with Calgary.

"The summer of Jeff Jackson" turned out to be a disaster
woof

 

[Soundwave]

Most other contenders have management groups that actually help the team, here they just shoot the team in the foot over and over again.

Friedman to Jackson: "I know what you did last summer"
