Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | The Oilers Biggest Roster Need Is?

I'd rather go for Pulock

Man if you could get and afford both it would be a major win. Don't think Brock would come here. But Pulok might waive. Would love to get him. Goodbye Akey and a 1st. (of course some money goes with them too.)
Lou would love to get his mitts on a guy like Sammy O'Really.

If we have to trade Sammy we need to get Pulok and Chris Terreri.

I agree with this. Damn near as bad as bone head wanting to get a declining Taylor back here.

Let’s not be silly. Taylor Hall is the lifeblood of the Edmonton Oilers.

Opps might have stepped in that poop on purpose BUT i ain't trackin it around!

Thre Provorov trade thread on the mains is wild. He won’t come cheap. Too many teams out there needing to shore up defence. And it’ll be the same story next year. And the next. If we keep going after rental after rental.

Why it might be nice and prudent if we could just fill that hole once and for all with a guy like Jiricek. There’s risks there but plenty of reward.

The f***. Is Provorov being overrated based on his name value? Huge minus player last 3 years. Only 6 pts on the year, thought he had more offense in his game.

And this:

Just pulled up Ryan Pulocks advanced stats. They read like a successful defensive defenseman. What i remember of this guy was a huge transition guy pinching alot and a big clapper. Or do i remember wrong?

EDIT: Either way i hope Bowman is on the phone right now.

Huge transition guy and big shot I can get behind. I really don’t want a shutdown type. If we wanted no headache no flash defence, we aren’t far from having that already with Emberson.

What we need is someone who can make an impact. Think what Ekholm does in the O zone but at a reduced level. Think Theodore who could clap one in from the 2nd pair (before Pietro regressed). I don’t want a steady eddy back there. We need to aim higher.

Hummmm 6.15 till the summer of 2030. How to we fit RP under the cap and on our team long term?

I always liked the idea of Pulock as an Oiler. Not sure about that contract but he’s got clapper and if he’s good defensively on top of that, or like others say he’s good at outlets, he’s probably worth it.

He’s from Edmonton too right?
