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

Marchessault is like two weeks older than Duchene.

Though Duchene may sign for half what Marchessault might get.

Who would you rather have playing with Draisaitl? Can you imagine Marchessault with McDavid? He would be the perfect complementary component for either.

I think you need to find a way to fit him on the books. Have McDrai reach out to him.

That Bertuzzi deal is rich. Kyle Davidson continues to throw money at stupid deals.

There's no way drai can expect more money than McDavid right? Right??!!

Florida taxes. It’s probably what Reinhart should get since his year is probably an outlier. But if it was in Canada, it’s pretty 10+. Pretty lame.

Oiler legend.

Man, I would love to take a run at Marchessault. Interested to see where he goes. He's the heart and soul of those Vegas punks, he'd bring in some swagger and fit perfectly. Not showing any songs of slowing down.

Had a lot of really.good things to say about the Oilers in his Chiclets interview last summer.

 

[Faelko]

I’m not sure why the Oilers have interest in Perry, way too slow for the type of game they want to play.

Getting a bit nervous that they’ll roll with the same D to start next year, maybe they think it’ll be easier to upgrade Ceci at the TDD?

So Jackson just going to wait to the last minute to sign Brown/Janmark?

I really hope we address 3C.

Feels like the players are the GM’s here.

I think Perry was/is good in the room. But he wasn’t very impressive in the playoffs. Not sure he should be on a contending team at this point.

Why get a 3c when McLeod can flounder all year and we can spend assets to trade for one.

We just need more from our bottom 6 so we aren’t overplaying McDrai in the regular season. Hopefully we have more of a complete roster going into the season. McLeod/Ryan down the middle isn’t it.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

Well of course he can. Mcdavids deal was signed in 2017.

There is ZERO chance drai takes anything less than $12.5M

A home town discount would be $14M in my opinion but he will likely get more.

The deals aren't comparable for so many reasons including RFA vs UFA and cap hit % to name a few.

 

[CupofOil]

That Reinhart extension is ridiculously good.
I gotta admit, it pisses me off that these Florida teams are always getting the discount deals because of their location and tax advantages.

 

[Canovin]

Robertson on the top line with McDavid and Hyman. Marchesault and Debrusk with Drai. Use RNH as the 3C

Carrick off to NY. 1milx3 years, good for him to get a little security.

I wouldn't have minded him back, but for way closer to league min vs. 1mil (3 years is also way too long, but at least it's always buriable)

if that Debbie Downer Rishaug tweet is true, could be a bad/quiet day for us.

Starting to dislike Rishaug on days like today.

Man imagine losing Brown Janmark and Henrique. JJ might be playing too hardball

 

[Seachd]

Puck Pedia has Brown signed at 1x1?

Edit:

Brown & Henrique is probably asking 2.5+ million and terms.

EDIT: see that as well on Puckpedia for Brown. Good signing if true.

Janmark is probably exploring the UFA market before he signs.

 

[Faelko]

I like those players as well but I wouldn’t overpay for them. I think it was rumoured that Janmark wanted some security and that’s easily done, not sure about Brown.

Edit: There’s the Brown deal.

 

[FlameChampion]

Its one thing to lose them if they are asking for too much.

But honestly we just don’t know what is going on at this point. By the end of tomorrow, I guess we will have some idea on him. /crosses fingers

 

[CupofOil]

I would do unholy things to get a manager who runs this club like Vegas runs theirs.

You can't GM like that in Edmonton. Only a GM in an attractive destination can be as cutthroat as Vegas is.
