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

[CupofOil]

Oh wow, that is a pretty expensive deal for what he is. Not sure I like that one too much. Love the player, don't get me wrong, but that is full freight for certain

How in the world is this expensive? If we get playoff Janmark, it's an underpayment actually. Even at his worst, he's worth roughly that as a top notch defensive 4th liner/PKer.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Why would you even want to be involved with them?

Because I believe in innocent until proven guilty.
Tired of the social media police.
If they are found guilty, then no thanks. Until then...

Sure to be a really unpopular opinion around here, but i have time for Michael McLeod.

The only player of that group that would warrant any look would be Hart because he has a tremendous skill for a 25 year old.

You'd have to be Bryzgalov desperate though, and we are not ... anymore.
We have our own "Stan" problems atm. That's enough.

Likely had other offers, so price point goes up a bit, but glad that he chose to resign with us.

As much as I like Kane when he's healthy, the truth is this team is probably more well-rounded if they swap Kane+Ceci for Henrique+4-4.5M Dman.

You're probably right. I just don't see what 4M top 4 RHD are available right now. Would love to be wrong though.

It's 1.45. Not 4.45.

Lol, your gonna find you opinion extremely unpopular. Not a chance any team in the NHL touches any of those players. Even if found innocent.

He has been under paid last 5 years of his career , he is a bargain PK dynamo playoff beast

If they brought Henrique back:

Nuge - McDavid - Hyman
Skinner - Draisaitl - Arvidsson
Kane - Henrique - Holloway
Janmark - McLeod - Brown

I dunno guys, looks like moving Ceci to make this happen would be worth it. You could flip around Kane and Nuge too, and have an elite third line there. Lots of options.

That would be the greatest forward group on paper since the dynasty Oilers lmao

Jeff Jackson at his end of season press conference: “I have no interest in being the GM.”
He forgot to add: “…..because I would f***ing CRUSH it!”

 

[WaitingForUser]

Not one overpay I repeat not one overpay by our management today and the team got better

Haha hold up, someone is complaining about the Janmark deal?! Hahahaha

Ceci getting traded gonna hit different.

Would either need to be a trade or TDL deal. I prefer offseason trade to get the D pairings meshing, but I can settle for a TDL deal.

Outside of the Perry deal, which isn't even that bad, I really liked this. Was some smart moves and didn't do anything stupid like Drop everything on a single goalie.

 

[McDNicks17]

Is he too slow? Too weak? I thought his attention to detail defensively was the part of his game that has grown since he's graduated. A lot of sites have him listed as a C.

That line needs a center who can win pucks and distribute.

He's decent defensively, tries pretty hard and has some nice hands. Not much else though.

I don't think he ever really even played center in junior.

Not worried about having the popular opinion or offended those with it.
Let the courts decide their innocent, not the more righteous than thou social media police.

 

[Jet Walters]

Kane for Laughton would be a heist. Don't let the main boards see that one.

Kane and Ceci for Laughton and Ristolainen. That makes it a little more divisive for both fanbases. With Arvidsson and Risto on the roster the Oilers would be guaranteed to have some deadline space to add, with one most likely on IR.

No time like the present.

This was an exceptional 1st day of free agency.

Jackson said he would love to have Henrique back, Henrique has not signed anywhere where teams other than the Oilers have been locking up high-end talent, My thoughts Henrique watched all the Oilers' moves today and wants to stay, and Jackson has told him they are trying to pull off the moves to make it happen

Ceci trade and Henrique re-signing will feed generations

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

We are absolutely ripe for offer sheets right now though lol. Someone's got to go asap.

I get the exact same feeling if we somehow move McLeod and Ceci and add say Henrique and maybe Boqvist we are laughing.

I think it’s quite obvious with the evidence that’s already been presented. But sure, you do you.
