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

[Paralyzer]

Oilers and NMC

That's really not bad at all. By the time 3 years has come, if he isn't performing that well, we either can trade him, or we buy him out, and the buy out is less than 1M in cap for 2 years.

 

[foshizzle]

not sure if legit or not

Then Gustavson to the Oilers to help them with the cap space....

Wonder if we can pry out Ulmark with all of the Sens locker room shit

 

[Jarvi]

LOL Even Floriduh fans are going dumb over this hahaha

Nobody claimed their fans were smart, their management is leagues smarter than most though.

They got a unicorn of a top 50 player. Thats worth "all of our assets". I think Bob was very overrated for their runs, they could probably get another cup by just adding a mid tier goaltender for like, a couple 2nds.

This is what you pay premium assets for, premium players. Not 4th line centers and depth that doesnt fit.

Yeah I think Bowman's "plan" for this summer was to run it back with mostly the same team and bank on a new coach bump, but if teams like Florida and Minny (Larkin?) are making such big swings, I suspect some panic might start to enter into the Oilers front office headspace and they'll try desperately to move Jarry so they can throw a bunch of money at Bobrovsky or something.

They'd usually be oblivious, but with the possibility of McDavid not re-upping and all that entails next summer has to be dawning on them. Other teams are big fish hunting, Oilers are not even at the lake and I think that's even going to start to dawn on clueless Katz who will demand something be done.

Florida making such a big swing is something Katz will even notice.

Robertsson is a guy I'd like to see the Oilers make a push for. If they were willing to make room for Rantanen, they should for this guy.

Sadly, don't think Dallas would want to move him to a playoff rival that bumped them out of the conference finals two years in a row, even if another team is threatening offer sheets.

I do believe Nill is the kind of GM that would trade with a rival if he thought it was either making his team better or was the best value for a guy they can't re-sign, but Robertsson is such a special talent that I think he would be the exception to how Nill normally conducts business.

On the off chance they were willing to trade with us, I think they would be asking for RNH, Nill has seemed to be a fan of his in the past and Duchene and RNH seem to have chemistry from the brief times they've gotten to play together.

I'd guess a package of RNH, Howard, and the 2018 1st rd pick would be of some interest to DAL, but I don't think it would be their best offer and some offers will have prospects of a caliber that we simply can't match.

NMC’s don’t matter if Babcock is your coach.

So Brady gets traded for a 1st round pick and basically 3 2nds. No roster player moving. This is the most blantant corrupt league sabotage to hand florida another player I have ever seen. Shame on Ottawa for bending over and allowing this to happen.

What are your options., ? other than having a disgruntled American on your team known that he wants out to only play in the US

 

[KCC]

not sure if legit or not

Minni has been the #1 spot people have said he is likely to go. It makes sense. They are getting really close to being a contender and Larkin fills that center position they need.

I didn’t realize he could extend in two years. I thought his contract ran longer.

He already told them he wouldn’t be extending with them once his contract was up.

I think they just decided they wanted him gone sooner rather than later.

 

[McTonyBrar]

f***ing Lardo.

Exactly my thinking, no need for Staios to have this distraction on your team any longer, so he was kinda forced to get him out

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Weren't there rumours that Connor was trying to recruit players to come to Edmonton also? I wonder how thats going.

We see the US Olympic guys all want to team up and requesting trades (Tkachuk, Larkin, Hellebyuck) but nothing about Canadians doing the same.

Canadian players don’t care about this shit. US players don’t either, they just don’t want to live in Canada when the US is a choice.

Nurse for Celebrini E5

 

[oobga]

"well at least it's not Frederic bad!" is certainly a defense.

Comparing to Nurse and Frederic deals are the easiest ways to cope

 

[oobga]

People are talking about Florida going after Hellebyuck or Larkin. I'm over here thinking they're going after Brady Tkatchuk.

These bros were so damn useless in every big game this year. Of course they still won stuff, but it was the rest of the team in spite of their play.

Guess you can never discount how their annoying style combines with the power of Gregory Campbell over the refs. Gregory might be just what Brady needs to actually be useful when the chips are down.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

f***ing Lardo.

Based on his no-show in the playoffs
Sounds true

Hey, now. They just re-signed Jason motherf***ing Dickinson. They can afford to kick up their heels for the next 8 or 9 months.

Players WANT this man

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

So… should I worry about Ike wanting to leave? Or is it the Olympic roster players that want to leave Canadian teams?

 

[soothsayer]

For anyone who wants a translation:

"For the Sens to trade Brady Tkatchuk, there must have been some pressure. That pressure came from within the locker room too. Brady's teammates were concerned that Brady was not just the dumbest person they ever met, but that he may have active brain damage as well. They wanted him to go somewhere he could get the help he needed."

Yup OTT should tell him to play out his remaining contract. Man what a sham this league is becoming.

Larkin, Brady, Matthew, Q. Hughes, Maybe Davo, Maybe Matthews

Freaking crazy

McDavid is gonna have to super team to get his Cup, I won’t blame him if he does. Matthews and McDavid to San Jose in a couple of years.
