Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | If Babcock is Our New Coach Will Players Want to Come Here?

[Wreckus]

People laughed at Marner for being a playoff no show too ... the same shit will happen here, when he only has to be the no.3/4/5 guy, he will relax and the points will come in the post-season.

Maurice is too good of a coach too to get nothing from a player like that. When you have more depth around you, the pressure melts away.

That Florida team is going to be 3-4 lines deep, it's going to be a nightmare to match up against them.

All they need now is a goalie. Could be their major weak spot next season.

adding this:

I don’t see Florida as this guaranteed cup threat still, their team is old now

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Looks like another retool for Ottawa

Steve Staios right now

Marchand is getting up in age but he's still an effective player, the rest of the group is not that old, getting Brady makes them younger.

 

[McTonyBrar]

The window is officially closed for me.

Because a crybaby ran away to his sister?

FWIW I do think Brady Tkachuk is one of the leagues more overrated players on name brand value. He's way more Dustin Penner than he is Jarome Iginla.

Still super frustrating to watch our rivals consistently bring in real talent while we sit on our hands signing 20 point players to 5 year contracts.

 

[Zguy370]

Nope lol unless you want to watch Dickinson, Murphy, and Jarry lol.

Frederick?

Ya, it’s a shame the oilers didn’t trade for Brady.

 

[DraiGuy29]

Is there any point in even watching this upcoming season?

Nope. Oilers lose in first round, panthers win cup, mcdavid leaves to USA. Fin.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Precisely. What the f*** do people expect ?

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Damn the McMann deal looks pretty good for Seattle 6 x $5.75 million

 

[McDrai]

Our big moves this offseason will be re signing Dickinson and Murphy while trading Nurse away for a player that is worse than him lol

Yeah I'm surprised he took that little, he could have gotten more as a UFA.

Basically because our idiot coaches couldn't run a PK last season, we ended up having to overpay for Dickinson instead of acquiring McMann at the deadline who we could have signed for like 6.25 or something probably.

The big splash will be bringing in Loui's son, Jake lol and Bowman selling hard that Babcock will fix everything else.

I expect the Oilers to hire somebody who understands 5 year 20 million dollar contracts for 4th line centers is a bad idea. Still waiting.

But sure time isn't up yet. Maybe this is the Summer they'll actually add the top 6 winger they've been looking for since Taylor Hall was traded.

Don't forget superstar goal scorer Jake Debrusk

Honestly I think its time Canadian teams stop drafting these American cowards. All they do is run away to the team they know who are favored, who have no tax and where there buddies are playing.

Brady is now the coward who ran away from the team he is leading just like Hughes. Pathetic.

The return was solid for Ottawa, I think you draft whenever you think you got a hit, drafting the lesser talent cause you are afraid they'll ask for a trade 8 years in the future cause of their country or origin is silly.

I think they have plans to sign Tuch. Word is he’s looking to make a move West to be closer to his wife’s extended family.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Florida is going to get Hellebuyck or something huge, and we are going to sign middling trash like we always do.

good call....

ffs

 

[Wreckus]

Pending on what Murphy's contract is going to be, wonder if we will see a Nurse trade before the Murphy signing is official.

Maybe Girard, a forward, and picks from Pittsburgh for Nurse?

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Precisely. What the f*** do people expect ?

I don't think the window is closed but this is a pretty f***ing important summer for the club.

All I want to see is competent management with some type of plan.

 

[Soundwave]

McDavid and Matthews are gonna pull a LeBron/Dwade and sign with Vegas for under market rate in a couple of years or some shit, lol.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Well at least thats good news

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Both tkachuks are useless in the playoffs anyways

I'm not so sure about that...

Let's re visit this next playoffs.
