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

[Shizuka]

Sure, but who cares he's not good enough and the team is very aware of this. They liked Foegele too

I know I'm a broken record on this but I'd really like to see how Stecher would look with Nurse. Don't stick Broberg with that responsibility if you don't have to.

 

[TheNumber4]

All hail Jeff Jackson.

There's those huge 2024 NHL Draft balls again.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Great Day but I don't get the math. Are we not way over the cap now?

Jeff Jackson today...

You should change your name to "JJthebrain"

 

[Arpeggio]

The Perry signing seems completely unnecessary now, he wouldn't even be in the top 12 to start the year. They must know that Kane has something serious going on. Since they mentioned hip, I bet he's getting surgery and will be out for quite a long time.

 

[McFlyingV]

I can't believe we actually just upgraded both wingers by a massive margin on our 2nd line and kept the rest of our bottom 6 intact from a team 2 goals away from winning the cup, and that was without their 5 million dollar power forward winger for most of the finals.

I said this a week ago, but the Oilers are going to finish 1st in the West and are going to win the cup this year if they stay healthy. That's my prediction. This forward group is deeper than any forward group in the NHL and we haven't even gone through the trade deadline yet.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Can we declare best FA day?

The Summer of JJ will be talked about for years to come.

 

[Paralyzer]

Great Day but I don't get the math. Are we not way over the cap now?

Yes but we can carry up to 10% extra of the cap until Summer is over, and in that time, we will find out if we have to:

-bring down Stecher, J Brown, and Ryan

-Trade

-Put Kane on LTIR

We are sitting pretty right now.

 

[foshizzle]

Can I be critical?

I’d rather have Boqvist over Stetcher. He’s never played on a good team and we can fix him. Go get him?

Stetcher is the far better player right now

We need a Right Shot centerman who can win draws in such a big way. I am done with Ryan. Weakest link on the team.

 

[Shizuka]

$2.5 or so over the cap I think. Kane might start on LTIR? They might move J. Brown to BAK (his money won't count against the cap)? Don't know how it's going to work yet.

I think, going by the numbers, Ceci was the best PKing Dman on our team during the regular season, and one of the better ones in the playoffs. It's too bad he makes 3.25m, because at 1.5m or so he'd be useful on the 3rd pairing and killing penalties. I'm guessing he's one of the more likely candidates to be traded though, as he doesn't have a NMC/NTC.

I think it's possible McLeod gets moved. He had a very underwhelming playoffs, and I think that's a big reason why they moved on from Vinny D as well.

Ceci was a great PKer because he is good at icing the puck. When he his trying to get a breakout going in the d-zone or keep possession the play goes back to the opponent more often than not

 

[Da McBomb]

This day keeps getting better and better. I'm liking JJ

 

[McShogun99]

A bunch of us bashed Holland for trading a 4th for Stecher and 1st for Henrique and JJ just goes and re-signs them for 2 extra years plus swapped the 1st to next year to get a prospect the scouts were high on. We’re pretty much getting maximum value now for that 1st and 4th.

 

[foshizzle]

They have $3M of dead cap, or are you just counting random money as part of it?

3M browns bonus, 1.1M for Campbell, 1.9M for Neal, and Perry’s bonus (can’t remember what it was) ~1m

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I don’t see how oilers get away with LTIR Kane for playoffs so do the oilers trade him? Going to miss some size on the roster if that’s the case.

Kane + Bourgault + ceci for a D upgrade

 

[Soli]

Stetcher is the far better player right now

 

[jukon]

All I have to say is:

I'm loving the JJ era.

 

[AlbOilFAN]

What Fu**ing day boys

Kane on LTIR is actually a good thing. Our top 6 is flat out ridiculous, and the Janmark - Henrique - Brown third line all extended, so Kane missing most of the season and coming back healthy and motivated means suddenly you’ve got a 30-30-60 powerforward that you’ve essentially picked up as a deadline rental for free

I think Perry was mostly a locker room signing but the contract was a little high for that. It should have been league minimum that could get bonuses up to 1m. The only, slight, issue with Jackson today but it didn't really prevent him from checking off all the boxes.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That place must be at Defcon 1 now

Loooool

They think the season starts tomorrow and dont know how we'll get under the cap by then.

 

[TheNumber4]

Wonder if one of the soft eastern conference teams that Panthers dummied would be interested in Kane.

They're definitely softer without Kane in the lineup to ride shotgun and keep cheapshot artists honest (at least in regular season.. playoffs guys will run other guys regardless, knowing they can get away with that cheap shit).

That would be a concern for me if there's no one there to hit their star guys back, since you're not really going to get the chance to even up with the perpetrators in the playoffs.
