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

Don't Like this. If we lose Foegle and Kane and don't sign Carrick we are even softer than last year.

Kane @ $4m if he returns to form is still a good deal. I don't see us upgrading him on a trade.

You have to be on the teams roster at the previous deadline to sign the 8th year

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that. Is this something that has changed recently? Because I was under the impression that during the Hyman negotiation the Oilers tried to acquire his rights from the Leafs so they could offer that 8th year to get the aav down.

Ever heard of Ekholm? Kane?

Yes I have. Kane fell into their laps. Please continue with examples.

Kane at 5.1 mil is bad, not to mention it's only going to get worse. Dude always seems to be battling injuries

They're just locking up all the AHL players first. Chill guys.

You say injuries like he's got a bum shoulder or back. Scored 24 goals with his damaged wrist and a sports hernia is an easy fix.

You're not going to find a better replacement in free agency for 5M. You absolutely roll the dice and hope he bounces back.

You’re making my point for me, thank you.

Keith Gretzky is awake at least.

This is great, he's going to have a legit shot at 4C

Really? That sucks. Teams losing their UFA should have a last-ditch opportunity to reclaim some value. I was hoping we could extract at least a 2nd or even 1st for Draisaitl from one of the 10 teams he's open to if we aren't able to resign him next year. $13.5M in available cap + 1st is a lot better downside than $13.5M and no pick.

Chiarelli left the team in shambles. Some absolutely minor credit for drafting decent but probably would have undone that with trading them for trash if given the chance. One playoff appearance. Holland was imperfect but a million times better

I’m not saying the team isn’t better, as they quite obviously are. But some boneheaded contracts affecting the cap don’t give them much room to improve where they need to after a cup finals appearance. It’s going to be a quiet day for the Oilers.

Jesus. Why would anyone do that?

 

[Arpeggio]

This a legit source at all?

No.

Chiarelli left the whole core and coaching staff for Holland. Woodcroft saved Holland’s ass. Being left McDavid and Draisaitl on long term contracts is not shambles. Skinner also saved Holland’s ass. Also a Chiarelli leftover

Re-sign janmark

 

[dem]

I’m a little surprised there has been zero word on Janmark..

I wonder if he’s getting a bit more attention than anticipated.

Vegas should sign him because then him being on LTIR would be legit and no one would bat an eye.

 

[McBooya42]

6 years for Tanev. The league needs to step in on this one...

Like he will play for 6 years lol.

Unlike Brown we owe HIM a favour. He was just as good as Brown last season and made what, 1/4 as much as he did?

lol- how am I making your point- and who are you quoting? Okay- I’ll wait for a suspended puck moving D man this year too. If it happens- I’ll give you all the credit.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I don't even understand why people want Kane back. He was pretty useless on this run, is an aging, injury-prone power forward, and doesn't have chemistry with Draisaitl.

Holloway - Draisaitl - X should be the template for the second line. Enough playing Holloway on his off wing.
