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

Stauffer seems to insinuate that our Defense will stay the same minus a #6/7 signing.

They cannot consider keeping Ceci.

He did however state that the Oil are looking to sign a top 6 to play with Drai.

Gross

Chicago going to be a bubble team this year? Hall, Burtuzzi, Martinez, could have sworn they added someone else too..

Martinez is cooked. Vegas tried to bury him on LTIR at the end of last season, but then he came back before the season ended. I imagine they didn't like that too much (an honest player).

 

[Wreckus]

Not surprised that the D will stay the same for the most part since I doubt any team would trade for Ceci.

Team/players love Ceci so not surprised

Not necessarily. Just a new D wouldn’t be a free agent

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Yeah it's either a Ceci upgrade or add a top 6 forward. Not enough cap for both.

Don’t worry. Davidson will give like $5-6 x2

 

[Macblender]

I don’t mind same defence. Ceci is serviceable and upgrading the RD spot at the deadline becomes a priority. Where he is the guy out for salary to do that

Ceci would have been moved already. Could be that Jackson wants to leave any trades for the new GM, or they figure he can go out at the deadline anyhow

Maybe a position best filled at the deadline.

Brown at 1m is amazing. I was hoping for 2 years on the cheap, but I'll take it.

Like I've been saying, he's starting to find his game again. Elite on the PK, and now that he's found his legs again, he can be a reliable top 6 call-up when needed. Not all season, but he can play the odd game and not look horribly out of place.

The issue is, we have been looking to upgrade on Ceci for the last 2 years and he has only got worse.

Got to love when a player was overpaid for them to return the favour by taking less. Need to give Brown some extra love this year. I think Brown mention how much Oilers fans cheered for him when he scored his 1st goal this year so I am sure he already felt the love.

Sorry yall if they are bringing back Nurse - Ceci I consider this offseason a failure before its even started.

 

[Chet Manley]

Today we get a RHD. This has to be the year right? RIGHT!?

 

[Ruok]

I feel like a new GM should have been in place before the season ended, even if not officially. They knew they were moving on from Holland, just have a for sure plan in place

Ok.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Why are people bitching about the defence? We went to the Cup final with it LOL

Why aren’t we looking to add a 3C?

Gross enough to take us to game 7 of SC finals. We can add someone at trade deadline.. for now i will he happy if we just resign Desharnais

https://x.com/i/web/status/1807779610928591029

That's so cheap.. Great for NJ I guess

Least with 1 year left, Ceci can be added at a deadline to make the money work.

I am not sure there’s really a great RD out there anyway.

But I hope we find a way to bring another C and RW in with whatever cap we have left.

Bob said a 6-7

Whose out there worth grabbing today?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Going into next season with the same defense is not good enough, full stop.
