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

[Skolman]

Ugh. Why does it have to be Vancouver

More opportunities for 97 to expose is weak skating & hockey sense

 

[McFlyingV]

Lol. Gross. GFY Desharnais. Glad you got the bag but to go to a rival like that. Yuck

Lol McDavid is going to turnstile him. I like Vinny, but he can't handle that kind of speed.

Well, I guess we might have to accept Bowman might be our new GM.

Man do I hope Seravalli is wrong. Bowman would be an absolute disaster hire on so many levels and make me long for the days of Bob Nicholson as Team President.

Gimme Janmark and Skinner signings. Right now.

f*** all this waiting

Insert the Blink 182 "WTF man" meme here if it's Bowman.. talk about f***ing clueless, Jackson. That would be such a bush league, monumentally stupid decision. I don't know how it would be him though, because Jackson stated in his call with media that they weren't allowed to talk to guys who were involved in other teams' front office stuff at the time... that's not this asshole Bowman who was locked out. Unless he (Jackson) straight up lied...

LOL wow. Guess they were so impressed with Vinny, they gave him the money LOL

he needed to go for the money considering he's a late bloomer and might not last long in the league, so I'm happy for him.

 

[Oilhawks]

No. He was riding a bus recently, he had to go to the highest bidder. I'm happy for him. I bet two years ago he was thinking about life after hockey

Plus he will suck against the Oilers. We are too fast.

Yeah, he was scratched in the playoffs for a reason.

Pretty unlikely he will be on the ice when McDavid it out there.
Good for him that he got $2M but I would have rather the Oilers signed Vinny at $1.5M instead of Josh Brown.

Not sold on Skinner, can't play a lick of defense.

 

[Tom Brady]

This site always crushes or is very, very slow when there is big events, hopefully they will fix it one day.

tight group, we saw half the team develop and buy in during the playoffs

Xenforo cloud server update on July 5th !!!..lol.. Such a clunky mess..

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Janmark about to sign for the Flames E5

Janmark about to sign for the Flames E5

I literally just had that thought

To cheap to put in more servers

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I bet our team will be saying to dump it in VD's corner and watch him turn it over.

 

[McFlyingV]

Not sold on Skinner, can't play a lick of defense.

In the right role I think you can easily shelter that even in the playoffs. He'll have a full season to learn how to be a low risk player on a cup contender if he signs here. His skating and finishing ability would be a very welcomed addition in the top 9.

 

[ozhenson]

I will have trouble looking past this one. I am at a loss for words if the Org and JJ have him circled as our GM.

Please do not be true.

It would probably kill the team for me. And I hate that so much it's pathetic.

 

[oil Leaks]

I hope the Stan Bowman rumors are fake news.

 

[tiger_80]

Nobody signed Desharnais? I thought he played well enough to get a contract from some club.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Foegle and Desharnais are dead to me

Foegle and Desharnais are dead to me

Kidding btw...

 

[tiger_80]

It's a pipe dream but Marchessault would be awesome with Draisaitl.

He's on a decline, but will get huge dollars. Maybe something like 5M for 5 or 6 years.

Who’s paying for it? I dont see many subscribers here. I’m not one, but I’m not complaining about a free site.

 

[belair]

I will never for the life of me understand the emotion when it comes to who gets management jobs.

Is it not apparent that Jeff Jackson is the guy running the ship right now? And his priority when it comes to hiring a GM has everything to do with that person's contacts and the rapports they've built over the tenure of their career.

Who out there today would be at the top of the list?

This isn't a situation where the new guy comes in and puts his own people in. The assistant GMs, the scouting department, the coaching staff. They're all here already.

Waste of energy to get up in arms about this stuff.
