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

It's going to be expensive to get cap compliant. Don't let the price tag shock you.

 

[FlameChampion]

I predict Ceci for a 3rd and we sign Suter for league min + performance bonuses. One last kick at the can. Would likely not play much, like Perry, but important depth for playoffs.

Suter is cooked. I don’t see it.

Oilers must know either they got a trade or someone making around 5mill a year won be available for most of next year.

Most of us our thinking Kane gone til the playoffs but on another site it suggested Leon( I do not believe it)

I fully expect the oilers to exploit the loophole and the nhl to step in

You think they would purposely go over cap without any plan?

With 8 dman signed, I wonder if Brown will go to the AHL if all guys are healthy. He won’t get claimed with a 3 year deal.

Feels like JJ has a move in store with the defense though.

We have the recent Patrick Marleau precedent to look back on. Reused narratives.

I never said that. You did.

Didn’t he have a poor attitude or something?

The highlight of Foegele's career with Edmonton is that if you squint while he's carrying the puck into the Ozone he looks like Mcdavid for a second. Then you unsquint your eyes and realize it's Foegele and nothing is going to happen.

Warren Foegele might have the least accurate shot I’ve ever witnessed.

If he had hands he would be a 30 goal player that is coveted, but unfortunately for him and his pocket book he doesn’t. Good in almost every other respect than hands.

 

[Jumptheshark]

We have the recent Patrick Marlow example.

I never said that. You did.

Patrick marleau got traded with a 1st and 7th..that is not painfull and he was 38 and useless. Kane is
32 and still has some fight in him.

MOst of assume McLeod is gone

 

[Oildrum]

I'm guessing it won't be until after the wedding

McDavid announces the Drai extension at his wedding. Biggest day in Oilers modern history.

I don't like McLeod. Good riddance. He's not enough.

 

[McDoused]

Apparently July 27

So it'd be close to a month. Maybe it gets done before that then

It will be Leons present to Connor.

 

[McHelpus]

I never said that. You did.

You said it will be expensive to get cap compliant, I asked if you think they purposely went over the cap without a plan? What did I say that you didn't insinuate??

 

[Jumptheshark]

I don't like McLeod. Good riddance. He's not enough.

And that is where either Kane is LTIR or Traded. If you are suggesting Nurse and the last 6 years of his contract? It would be so painful to trade him it is not worth it.

Stop engaging.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Stop engaging.

I already got it from the man.

JJ said it's well known around the league by the players know how great our leadership is, how well our players our treated, and know that Katz is an owner that will provide anything needed to support players.

Moneybag Katz rarely get's flowers around here. But I've always maintained we're pretty lucky to have a home town billionaire with a passion for hockey and bringing a Cup home here. As an owner, he's doing his job which essentially entails opening his wallet. And he's always been more than willing to open his wallet.

 

[Cloned]

I’m gonna follow my own advice lol.

 

[Yuke]

Nah but it's a testament to the bad drafting that we don't have a bit more youth knocking on the door in case one of the old farts gets hurt.

Has more to do with trading draft picks for short term players

 

[soothsayer]

This might be best forward depth in the cap era. This team, imo, has the chance of being named with the 2007 Ducks, the 2009 Penguins, the 2010 Blackhawks, and the 2022 Avelanche as true juggernauts. That's how crazy their forward group is right now.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

I wonder what happens with Lavoie with us being pretty flush with wingers now.

I hope they can keep him around and find him some playing time. He’s a big strong kid who can score. I’d like to see them give him a legitimate opportunity before cutting bait.

 

[Canovin]

I’m okay with trading McLeod as Noah Philp will be next in line to play 4C

I wonder what happens with Lavoie with us being pretty flush with wingers now.

I think he will sub in when Perry isn’t playing well

Oh, Skinner didn't want to be the guy having to set up the cherry picker every game. Very surprising.

He’s probably not going to get much time unfortunately as Ryan is likely the 13F. Part of me thought maybe Ryan would retire but it isn’t looking like it.

Lavoie really has to turn heads at training camp to be the 12/13F.

I kinda feel for him. Hes had a couple nice AHL seasons but doesn’t feel like hes getting much of an opportunity here.

It's not a stretch at all that we'd shut down Kane. It happens in the league. The downside is that I believe it means we wouldn't be able to accrue cap space.

But just look at Hall in Chicago. He spent the whole year on LTIR.

The worst case scenario is that we'd have to move assets to make space when Kane returned. If so, we could spend those assets when the problem showed itself. It might not be an issue, if we have another player go down on LTIR
