Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Savoie Gets an Audition With the Trade Deadline Looming

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
My personal ideal list for the goalies:
1: Gibson
2) Vejmelka
3) Binnington
Anyways, all 3 would be upgrades especially on the 1A and better than Pickard. Get it done. So tired of watching our sieves

I like Vejmelka the most for a goaltending target.
Easiest to get, hasn't performed worse than the others, shouldn't require more than a mediocre draft pick, and comes with no or little cap increase freeing us up to add the defender the team also needs.

Even Buffalo's management given this amount of time has figured out that moving Cozy is not very astute unless they get alot more....
Maybe they move Tuch....for a player and another in development.

All the ice around outside I will just think about hockey even more.
The Oilers can fit him in. Next year cap is 95M minimum. This year we can move Arvid and keep Kane on LTIR the rest of the season. We got 9M. Cozens makes 7.1M

I'm here, I'm bored
Is there a rumour that he's available? Or are you saying there's rumour that he's available?
If he's available, to me I'd drool over that even more than Rantanen. That's our elite 1G for years. I just don't see why the Isles would do it.

Not only is he not available, he's got a full NMC.

Just piggy backing off a speculation thread on mains. If Isles continue to flounder, could see them selling off and retooling. It is probably pretty rare, but fingers crossed that Bowman would at least take a shot at it.

Sometimes miracles
I mean that would be interesting, Dobson is on LTIR right now, so I don't know what his status is for helping the team right now.
Parayko would instantly make this team close to a contender again
I didn't say anything about fitting his cap, aside from the bit about management not wanting to use most of their capspace on that player. I know they could make it work, but I don't think they want to. They obviously don't value youth, judging by their moves this offseason; so why would they use most of their capspace on a guy that isn't close to a sure thing and is 24?
Their moves this past offseason scream "win now", and I don't think Cozens is that in their eyes. I personally think it could work out great, but I doubt management agrees.

Dobson is back tomorrow.
Even without Dobson [as in still injured], Sorokin himself can steal games
It wasn’t so much the trade- it was the overpayment. Servalli was talking about this too. The Oilers were the only team to give up their 1st in a trade last deadline. Better players were moved for less. As we we have seen this year- Verbeek is a GM easily squeezed- it’s hilarious he squeezed Holland

I watched Parayko at 4 Nations and want no part of him. He kills plays by carrying the puck up himself, leaving the forwards stuck at the blue line waiting for him to get there. He's a bigger Nurse in that regard. We can do better.
And Kapanen. They can easily put Kapanen on waivers again and trade Klingberg. Both were low risk acquisitions
I've definitely thought that there may be an outside chance of Sorokin. Isles are on a downwards trend.
Leave Dobson and Bouch out of it, IMO. I'd rather stick with Bouch despite the recent struggles.
iirc, private models also rate Sorokin even higher as I guess isles defensive metrics are even worse than public models suggest. There is not much I wouldn't give up to get a goalie like this.

They could pretty easily manufacture space if needed. But they were never going to be able to accrue $8-9M in actual space. This would always have been a combination of accrual and retention even with Kane not on LTIR.
He's by far the highest risk of any of the candidates available. No track record of success, late bloomer, pending UFA, playing in a low pressure environment on that a team that's just happy to be playing meaningful games on the back half of the schedule, even the career best season he is having isn't all that impressive.
These types of guys pop up every few years and get a few teams interested(Husso and Korpisalo, even Campbell kind of qualifies as some recent examples), they rarely pan out and usually fall back to irrelevancy by the next season after someone bets on them.

That should have been Skinners spot all season. You think the goal scoring winger they signed in free agency would be given a shot next to the best playmaker in the league.
