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

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

You know goalies can get their own coaches right? Like what Mike Smith did

You're right, but he's the exception in this scenario. And it's not like he was some dynamo either.

Mike Smith was far better than anything Skinner was. I'm not sure what you're trying to get from this

Meanwhile fabbro having a good start after his trade.

Columbus, who had a higher waiver wire position to us, claimed him off waivers because 0 NHL teams wanted to trade for Fabbro.

LHD. 4M Cap. Or we coulda just kept Broberg. Sigh.

No, we couldn't have, because we would have had to keep Broberg for the entire season and at the full cap all season. Whereas anything with another team likely doesn't happen until much closer to the TDL, where we have accrued cap space.

Would had to trade someone and get some assets.

Yeah for sure. If they wanted to keep Broberg (through offersheet match) they would have had to make additional trades. The real option was to prioritize youth signings before going after the old guy group of Arvid, Henrique and Skinner. But it is what it is at this point.

I feel like due to the change from Holland->Jackson->Bowman we had no long term vision or plan. Felt like an off-season just winging it, and we paid for it.

Bob Stauffer bringing up Tony Deangelo's name up.

Can we go for a player in the NHL right now?

 

[McDNicks17]

Do we use the Nurse injury to not really care about dipping into LTIR for a bit to take Kasperi Kapanen for a test drive?

He's got stone hands, but if Stan wants to get faster, that's a 95% percentile skater for free.

You send Brown down and claim him.

The nice thing is you don't have to send anyone down. With Brown up, they've got like $320k in cap. Not accruing off that for like a week isn't going to make a dent.

Just in case anyone was wondering what kind of numbers DeAngelo was putting up he is playing for SKA in the KHL and he has 4G 17A 21 Pts in 21 GP +/-= +15.

Definitely strong numbers, he's got identical Pts/ Per game to the top forwards in the league.

You would have to because Kapanen makes $1M and so does Brown, but Brown doesn't provide anything the team could possibly need, where as Kapanen might provide some speed to the bottom-6.

It is interesting how the KHL seems to be a tier below the AHL lol.

There's basically zero financial considerations for claiming Kapanen.

Claim Kapanen, keep both up, dip into LTIR and lose like $10-15k of deadline space.

We like status quo
