Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Post Draft, Pre Free Agent Frenzy

I'm hearing Jake Guentzel is a Tampa Bay Lightning. Pretty wild

Pretty crazy considering the fact that Tampa’s window to win is closed. Seems like a bit of little brother syndrome due to their biggest rival recently winning the cup.

If Tampa sign Guentzel, Stamkos is gone. Dallas, Nashville, Boston, NYI and New Jersey strike me as good bets to sign Stamkos.

Tampa, Vegas, Florida etc window probably never going to close because players want to go there and they pay less tax.

A sad reality

I don’t know if the window is closed. Solid core still and everyone still wants to sign there.

No way is their window closed.

They will be IMO a top 5 threat to win the cup next year

Seeing the pick Holland had to use to dump Kassian end up being half the package for Utah to bring in a top4 rightie kind of hurts.

You mean the guy we drafted but refused to sign?

Reider?

 

[FlameChampion]

Reider?

Marino

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

That was the number one sought after guy was he not?

Yeah I'd say so

 

[LTIR]

That would be quite the waste of 2 million. Both of these players are cooked and should retire

Neither is cooked and would be good bottom liners who could move up if needed. At 1M you could easily just waive them without much cap hit.

I would take both at 1M over Bourgault or Lavoie at 850k

Shiny new toy for Oilers fans who haven't seen him. He's slow and 5 on 5 he's useless. Won't be an NHL player.

We are in a must win season, he's not the answer.

He isn't useless.. but yes he was too slow for NHL last year... maybe/hopefully he got some work done on foot speed

 

[WaitingForUser]

Marino

Right I forgot he was our pick but didn’t think he would play so refused to sign

[FlameChampion]

Does Savoie require a qualifying offer?

I assume Fanti becomes a free agent? Ungur probably placed him

 

[aspin3]

What? Why giving up on Savoie already?

 

[oil Leaks]

I’m interested in seeing other potential players who did not receive a qualifying offer from their teams. We could use one of those.

 

[FlameChampion]

That’s interesting on Savoie. Maybe didn’t train properly or something.

 

[Hemsky4pm2]

Savoie does not appear to have NHL level commitment to physical conditioning. He has been injury prone too. Reminds me of G. Reinhart. I am sure Savoie will have a decent career in Europe.

 

[MoontoScott]

How many of these aforementioned guys have arbitration rights?

Hard to believe that a few years ago Savoie was considered a bright prospect for the Oilers.

I think just Hamblin, Lavoie and Hoeffenmeyer. So none of them really have cases.

Holloway and Broberg don’t.

Yep. Seravelli confirmed it for a 3rd round pick. Get f***ed Canucks hahaha.

Dude Maroon is COOKED. Watch him play, has been cooked for a few years

The Lightning also offered Montour, Zadorov and Tyler Johnson a contract. Not sure if there is any traction with the 3.

It's pretty crazy imo that all this so called "tampering" goes on

 

[FlameChampion]

Wonder how much action we see today accross the league.

Just a weird offseason so far prior to the draft/free agency due to NHL scheduling.

Jackson hasn’t really done much. But he’s not the only one. There are quite a few guys who need to be signed accross the league.

Does anybody on the thread follow Brock University? What kind of season did Ungur have?

Maroon was pretty good in playoffs this year.
