Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Post Free Agent Frenzy, Will JJ Show His Pimp Hand Again to Upgrade the Defense?

[McShogun99]

Any interest in John Klingberg at league minimum? Seems like a no brainer to me as a guy who wants to reestablish himself in the NHL?

Doesn't he have a problem with his hips and isn't signing a contract until the mid point of next season?

For league minimum? Not much risk in that.

 

[Soundwave]

Here's a question, I'm pretty sure you can't mutually agree to terminate a contract (player and team) and then resign the player to a new contract ... or can you?

If Nurse terminated his contract we could offer him a new 8 year deal at even more money than what he figures to make from here on out.

Like

12/10/8/7.2/7.2/7.2 is what is left on his deal

If you were allowed to terminate the contract (agreed upon by both parties) you were able to resign him to like a 8 year deal like

10/10/10/7.2/7.2/7.2/5/5 = 7.7 mill cap hit, but Nurse would effectively be getting 10 million more dollars because of the two extra 5 mill per years tacked on while still making the exact same amount for the next 6 years.

I think the player has to go through unconditional waivers if their contract is terminated, although I guess what happens if the player says he will only sign with one team?

No you cannot do this.

Doesn’t he have back issues and probably not playing?

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Besides some extensions, we’re likely seeing the roster going into next season as is. I’m betting Kane starts on ltir and they don’t trade Ceci until they see how Broberg, Stetcher, Brown look and also let the trade market develop.

We’re probably starting the year with a combination of Broberg, Kulak, Ceci, Brown in the 4-5-6-7 spots with Stetcher starting in Bako to get up to speed. He’ll probably be called up and in the mix before Christmas if they feel comfortable trading Ceci or if they send Brown down for Stetcher but giving Brown a 3 year deal probably means they see him being on the roster.

Wouldn't that mean the RFA's will have to skip training camp? When would the earliest Kane could go to LTIR?

 

[DrDrai]

I haven’t played any kind of sports video game in a lot of years. Now that they’re all web-based, do the games automatically upload and update all roster changes?

My kid has some PlayStation pass, I downloaded NHL a few days ago for fun. They have a place to download rosters that people upload. People put a lot of work to keep it updated apparently.

No need for NHL 25 I guess haha

 

[Fourier]

You can be 10% over the cap until the season starts.

There are two ways to go with LTIR, in-season and off-season. Differences in the two are subtle. To go in-season, which is slightly more preferable, they would have to be under the cap on day one with Kane on the roster. Depending on what Broberg and Holloway get this should be possible by waiving J. Brown, Stecher and Ryan.

 

[stewy04]

All I have to say is playing NHL 24 with all the recent signings is pretty fun. Not a bad offensive line.

I signed Nylander in free agency then traded him for skinner and Savoi. Savoi on 3rd line with Henrique and Kane In the game is fun.

 

[Louis Cypher]

You literally did the same thing you berated me for. If you can't see the obvious idiocy in that, well i'm not surprised. You're saying JJ made those deals before free agency? Think about that for a second, and then think about if that's allowed, and then think about how that would go if JJ said he was actually doing that in an interview. Maybe, just think before posting?

No I said Holland had those conversations before free agency.

 

[LTIR]

He was fine on the Oilers and at 775k that's a steal.

Who do we ship out? Brown? Holloway?Henrique? Arvidsson?Skinner? Janmark?

Kane,McD and Drai, Hyman, Nuge have NMC

A PTO perhaps to let him fight Perry for #13/#14 spot even after assuming Jarventie, Lavoie and Savoie start in AHL

 

[Broberg Speed]

I think Stecher is going to surprise making the team out of camp. RD with a $787,500 cap hit for two seasons.

He said he wants to wait until he’s healed, but I’d be totally fine trying to get him signed for league minimum and immediately waive him to get him in the minors.

This version of the team is just too deep. There is no place for him.

Disagree. Yamo would be fine in a depth role. He’s a glue guy in the locker room too

That's 12 players including Perry and Kane. Assuming we run 13 forwards we still have room for 1 forward (2 if Kane is on LTIR).

Lavoie and Pederson might fill those slots but adding 1 more forward doesn't mean we have to move anyone out.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Ship has sailed on Yamamoto. He was a good transition player on a developing fringe and then entry level playoff team.

Grinding out a four round playoff reinforces the importance of hard support depth that are durable and can withstand the marathon grind game of the second season. If anything, the Oil could use a heavy ice player who can win puck battles, engages physically and offer some functional toughness shotgun support.

Keep him far far away from the Oilers

 

[Mr Positive]

Keep him far far away from the Oilers

Why? Seems like a great reclamation project to me, if he takes a small cap deal

I don't like him much but I also know that 2nd pair RD seems like it will be our main point of weakness this year. I'd rather not hinge everything on Ceci and Stetcher

 

[McBooya42]

No I said Holland had those conversations before free agency.

And you know that how? "Facts? Fans don't know shit about what goes on. Stop blowing smoke."

 

[guymez]

Whose ice time would you take to give to Yamo?

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Disagree. I want my depth players to either be big and/or physical (Kane/Holloway/Perry), good defensively and kill penalties (Henrique/Janmark/Brown/Ryan), or have a good enough shot/scoring ability to contribute the odd goal(Perry/Kane/hopefully Brown)

He doesn't have any quality that I would consider valuable for a depth role.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Whose ice time would you take to give to Yamo?

Perry, Ryan. Take your pick.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

I think Stecher is going to surprise making the team out of camp. RD with a $787,500 cap hit for two seasons.

Stetcher didn’t play much hockey in the second half of last year and then had surgery. I’m guessing they give him some time in Bako to get up to speed while they evaluate the Ceci/Broberg/Brown situation.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Two to four months recovery time and he missed the playoffs completely, he should be ready for camp.

 

[The Nuge]

Whose ice time would you take to give to Yamo?

Nobody. I’d have him as the Gagner replacement. He can be the 13th forward and locker room presence, who comes in when there’s an injury, or someone’s struggling.

He played a minute and a half a night on the PK his last year here, and has a 20 goal season. That’s pretty much what you’re describing. It’s better than counting on a guy like Lavoie who doesn’t PK, and has never scored a point at the NHL level
