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

[Soundwave]

Fabbro putting up Broberg numbers in Columbus, lol. Maybe we should have moved on that and/or made an offer to Columbus straight away.

One phone call to Trotz and we could have sealed the deal. Heck, just a text message.

“U up? 6th for Fabbro?”

But really it’s on Trotz. Did he even shop him before throwing him away like stale donuts?

How the f*** did Fabbro get to waivers. You mean to tell me Trotz couldn’t have squeezed a 5th round pick for a RHD paid 2.5M per year? One call to Bowman and he gets atleast a 5th for him.

Probably an understatement, but so far Trotz seems like a much better coach than he is a GM.

Did you know you can't trade a player you just got off waivers? They have to go back through the waiver priority first and see if anyone else claimed them first.

Almost every move he’s made has been a clownshow. Half these signings/waiving/trades and we’d be calling for his head in Edmonton.

Marek says the Oilers can make a trade right now if they wanted to. But prices will come down at the TDL.

But…. Do prices go down at the TDL?

Did that article just link us to Bowen Byram and Owen Power? That is complete non-sense.

Canucks board in semi meltdown mode since Hronek got injured and they might have to play Desharnais on the first pairing with Hughes.

lol I got into a Twitter exchange with Canucks fans in the offseason who were saying Desharnais would be a great stay-at-home partner for Quinn Hughes.

There's no reasoning with them.

Keep mind the previous GM is paying Matt Duchene $5.5m this season to lead the Dallas Stars in scoring. $6.5m next year.

Not really. If you listen to the segment, marek brings up Buffalo as a team in general that any team (not necessarily Oilers) could maybe go pick some assets off of cause of how much pressure there is internally to make the playoffs. Implying I think firings and huge changes could happen if they don’t make it.

Correct, which makes Stan staying on the sidelines there extra stupid. What a useless hire so far.

I'll disagree with getting Fabbro. I think we have our sites set on something bigger.

Getting Fabbro closes the door on that.

 

[soothsayer]

Fabbro was always a top 4 defenseman and that was clear to anyone who actually watched him play. Not going to name names about some confidently wrong takes on him.

 

[Zerotonine]

Said this a while ago. He is gonna fall flat on his face imo . He won't last his contract. Already made some huge blunders question is will he learn from the mistakes.

Do we?
We have our sights set on someone they think is bigger.
They also thought Arvidsson and Skinner were going to be huge impacts.

Sellers market now. TDL day is a buyers market.

It’s Jeff Marek. Take it with a dump truck full of salt. Guy only is happy if he suggests the off the wall shit and stupid rule suggestions or painting the ice blue. Smokes way too much weed. Never apologized for the John Scott situation he created.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Lurking around other teams trade boards. The amount of teams looking for 4RHD is insane. How many years have we tried to find one and failed?

Should bite the bullet and put together a package for Jiricek. If he works out it’ll solve a problem for many many years to come.


Maybe JT can yell at Hronek to heal faster.

He's too busy playing Xbox on his couch and "resetting"
