Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Lavoie Vs. Pederson Vs. Sutter Vs. Gagner Vs. Caggiula

[Fourier]

You must make a decent coin to be able to live in NY. I mean relatively speaking. Are you Manhattan or in the Burroughs? I thought you said Manhattan during pandemic or at least you had to travel through that during pandemic. I remember some of the convos we had during that difficult time.

The trouble with a lot of the most utilized economic gauges is they don't seem to track true inflation and consumer cost very well. I mean costs can double and you'll see some indicator saying there was like 6% inflation...

The cost of living increases are unprecedented, and the most seen since they started keeping track in the 50's.

With respect to paragraph 2, what you are saying just is not so. It is true that there are various ways to measure inflation but the numbers that go into these calculations do track many different costs much more accurately than you suggest. Though I'd be curious as to what you call true inflation.

With respect to the bolded. You were alive in the 70's and early 80's.

Current inflation rates feel unprecedented because we have lived with low inflation for the last 30 years. 2022 was very bad. But the current inflation rate, that is in 2023, is actually lower than it was for almost 2 decades between 72 and 91. What is unprecedented is the speed at which the BOC raised interest rates.

I just want to say that Klim backwards is Milk. How did I not realize that until now?

Don't feel bad. I literally have it in my username and didn't realize it

I hope you also realized she’s a smokeshow.

Wonder if this was also part of the plan. Gagner always was gonna get a contract but question was when. Now with seemly a setback it’ll be later in the year

That's probably why I didn't realize anything else about her. Watching Wolf of Wall Street she is rather distracting to everything else.

Have to assume so. It was very well documented that he had the surgery quite a while ago, so I'd assume who ever gave him the PTO would've asked the question to where he is at health wise and what is actual plan is

Should have edited your name to KlimAndCookies in the Playoffs lol

The nucks are trying to be competitive, traded away a forward who would help them for a goalie they don't need and gave up a pick.

They definitely need a capable backup goalie, especially with Demko's questionable health.

 

[FlameChampion]

Makes sense if hes willing to start in Bakersfield. He would be good for the young guys down there too.

Would also make sense if Sutter is willing to do the same after being out for awhile (if he can even play). Oilers kind of need guys who are willing to play in the AHL since we can only carry 12 forwards more or less.

I don't know how effective Pearson is after all those botched surgeries.

That and I wouldn't be shocked if he asked for a trade

Just wanted to make sure you still had a pulse, LOL.

Yeah man, goddammit I really missed out on that one.

Didn't the Nucks essentially have to make a trade to be cap compliant?

Maybe, I think they were largely fine.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Cap compliancy was a critical part of this trade. But still spun an expensive forward with injury issues into a quality NHL backup goalie.

Sure, lets go with that.

Nope. Still gotta be mental about this. Only sane thing to do here.

Good idea. I think facts are good things. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vanco...s entering the final,his contract worth $1.8M.

They traded away cap, which they needed. It was a necessary trade

I still get the feeling that Ekblad could potentially end up being available at some point and could be a target for the Oilers.

Panthers are going to be without him and Montour until late Nov or early dec. The east is so tight that if the Panthers fall behind early in the season, they may not be able to recover in such a competitive conference. They’ve also got some important pending free angents and not enough space to sign them all.

From the Oilers side, Ekblad would fill that top4 RD need pretty perfectly and Jackson used to be his agent so he’d likely wants the player here and could help facilitate a deal.

It’s hard to know how Ekblad’s value would be around the league, when he’s in the lineup and on he’s a legit top pairing guy but age and injuries are a concern, I’d say Chychrun might be a good comparable but he’s younger and has an extra year at a much cheaper cap hit compared to Ekblad.


Starting point could look something like:

Ceci + 1st + 2nd + Lavoie + Foegele (expiring contract for cap purposes) for Ekblad + minor leaguer or two to even out contracts.

Panthers don’t retain anything on Ekblad and get back a mid pairing RD on a manageable deal in Ceci, while freeing up almost 4M in space to help extend Montour, Forsling, Reinhart, Lundell, and they get a couple draft picks and a prospect to help replenish their depleted draft stock.
