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

Not this season. He missed an entire year of hockey.

 

[LTIR]

He is still trying to convince his family that Edmonton isn't all that bad place to live compared to SoCal.

Has Henrique actually signed somewhere else or is this still speculation?

That and that he will be taking a lot less in Edmonton compared to what he could get from a place like SanJose

To me.. if you let all these Kane rumours out of the bag you better fn do something.

Now this is hanging on the team all year.

For the record.. I’m Pro Kane. I think his contract is fine.

Nah, I think he's just using the Oilers to get more money, because of course.

Not this season. He missed an entire year of hockey.

We'll see, that will definitely put him behind the 8ball

He wouldn’t need to use the Oilers, he can just reference that disgusting Monahan contract and get paid off that

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.

This. You nailed it. People are in love with what he used to do- not what he is. The hope is that he will somehow reach that year 1 level- when in reality- there is no chance in hell he will

Sounds like Vinny is gone to market

"Don't have the space to fit in Desharnais". They have $12m in cap space right now Ryan. Not that I was big on them re-signing Vinny but this thought that the Oilers don't have cap space to do much of anything is silly and uninformed.
If he said that they don't have the space to sign him and do other bigger things than I'd agree with that.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Rono likes the idea of Kase, I've always liked the player

Skinner is going to be disappointed.

Meh. Vinny had his moments but he was scratched in the playoffs for a reason. Don’t think he’ll be missed much on the PK as it seemed even better once we was off it

But genuinely happy for him going to get the bag from a team willing to pay, he earned it

 

[McTonyBrar]

Marchessault to Preds wtf man

 

[Skolman]

Toffoli to the Sharks..

Money talks

Pretty sure they just mean space on the blue line. As in he's lost his job to Broberg or someone else.

 

[dem]

Marchessault headed to Nashville?

Bah

 

[bucks_oil]

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.

That's right... and Dubas wouldn't "bend the knee".

I'm trying to look it up, haven't found a great link yet, but it appears Tobias is right. The Holland/Dubas feud must have been concerning a sign-and-trade of Hyman, which I suppose would be the loophole. Toronto signs him to 8 years and immediately trades him to Edmonton.

Canucks miss another player ha!

 

[oXo Cube]

Ondrej Kase?

This team aware you can make more than 1 actual move every 3 years?

 

[K1984]

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.

You’re struggling grasping what the point is.

Point is players that aren’t available (or are impossible to acquire due to cap hit) become available during the season that you don’t expect. Kane was one. Ekholm was one.

The means in which they become available are completely irrelevant, but that matters to you for some reason, as if it doesn’t count unless the management group has to fight for it.
