Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | The Road to the Draft June 28th and 29th

[DrDrai]

I’ll probably be roasted on this, and hopefully I do because I don’t think we make any change. But I don’t see us winning with skinner/Campbell unless skinner makes a big step forward.

I like skinner but he was victimized in the playoffs.

I would do whatever to get Hellebuyck on this team.

What the hell is going on with HFboards? We can't even open friggin links

Stauffer continues to fawn over Konecny hinting at Oilers liking him in front of Seravalli while Seravalli says Philly is going to completely tear itself apart this Summer.


Hmmm...

 

[McTonyBrar]

Oh look, a team that's doing something about their goaltending and moving a mistake contract out. Must be nice.

Dude please stop this insistent babbling. All you're doing is trying to create drama. I thought I was immature at first but you take it to the next level. Go to your teams board and leave us the heck alone

 

[Reginald Dunlop]

Oh man I've been shouting Konecny from the rooftops all year, would be costly but I think is an ideal pickup.

[Oilhawks]

It's embarrassing when a poster can't take a hint and realize their input is not valued, particularly after that same poster said they wouldn't post here anymore.

Go get some help and leave everyone else alone.

It's not like every move they made has come up roses. They basically got 1 1/2 solid but not exceptional years out of Pacioretty at the cost of Nick Suzuki. The trade for Eichel cost them Tuch who just put up a season with 36 goals and 79 points in 74 games, a 16th overall pick and Krebs. And that was with basically no competition and for a player who could well have ended up medically unable to play up to nearly the level needed to make the deal a winner.

Stepehenson is really the only gem in the three players you mention. Amadio is on his 4th team and while he may well be on a bit of a hot run he's still pretty much a 4th line kind of guy who may as a result of his play in the playoffs get more attention than he deserves. Roy is solid but Vegas tends to shoot a lot and hope for a few hits. They have had a lot of guys come and go without ver doing anythong much to crow about.

They've made 2 Stanley Cup finals and 3 Conference Finals in 6 years, likely with a Cup win included. That seems like a lot to crow about and it's largely due to their A level pro scouting.

Not all of their trades have been positives but they've built rosters that consistently contend in the playoffs without the gifts of generational players that the Oilers have because they're never resting on their laurels, are always looking to improve through proactive moves.

YOOOO

Hope: Holland somehow gets rid of Campbell's contract and gets Hart
Dread: Holland trades Bouchard and Skinner for Hart

 

[Mr Kot]

Cmon, all the ads in the world and cant afford a good server.

 

[PBandJ]

Carter Hart would be underwhelming with Helly available.

 

[McTonyBrar]

GET ALL THESE ADS OFF OF HERE f***ING HELL

 

[GOilers88]

YOOOO

Kenny cookingggggg

Our management team doesn’t do anything and is content to watch McDrai try and win a cup on their own. Don’t get your hopes up

 

[McTonyBrar]

Helly will not come here. First look at how much he wants lol

 

[5 14 6 1]

Have tuned out hockey completely since we were eliminated. The rumor mill pulls me back in

 

[YakDavid]

YOOOO

Bio says he is a phillys writer so might be true. Seems like they are having their fire sale today?

If that's the case, maybe Sanheim swap could be done?

 

[Vagabond]

Pretty much yeah, Holland has rarely been able to find goaltending even in his hey days. Got Hasek when Hasek was like a senior citizen, but generally Holland is a GM that doesn't find goalies because he lived the charmed life of having Nik Lidstrom solidify his blue line for years.

He brought in a few decent goaltenders.

Vernon
Hasek
Cujo
Osgood
Cheveldae
Legase- underrated
Mrazek
Howard

A few awesome goaltenders and a few that were solid enough to get the job done.

 

[Spawn]

And yet he and Ceci were absolutely caved by Vegas. Nurse should be elevating his partner, shouldn’t he? And then there’s the Nurse-isms that happen every game: bad icings, poor passes, losing his head in key moments… I certainly agree we should upgrade on Ceci but Nurse has never elevated his game come playoff time.

Nurse may be “the best” D on the team (I don’t think he is), but would you call him a great D man? I mean if he’s that good then trading him should net something of value, right? We have seen this player for basically a decade now and he’s a glorified Staios. He had his chance to make an impact and in the final game he puts up a -3. Regular season means little when you’re on the wrong end of a beat down come playoff time.

Glorified Steve Staios.

You’re such a waste of time.

I don’t think Nurse is a “great” player. I think he’s a very good player who is overpaid. No, unfortunately he can’t turn a 4-5 dman into a top pairing dman. He’s never been that guy. He never should have gotten the idiotic contract he did. But he’s much harder to replace than you’re suggesting regardless of being overpaid.

 

[Spawn]

Carter Hart is super meh. Overrated from his junior days. Hasn’t accomplished much as a pro.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Hart would be awesome. Great goalie brought up way too soon and on a terrible team.

Please no stat replies, cuz his stats are completely irrelevant without context and I doubt many here have that context

 

[mkatcherin00]

More of a glorified Jason Smith maybe? We're stuck with him, but imagine if Holland could unload that contract. It's the Oilers way. Stuck with atrocious contracts. Campbell being the other. Hope to God the cap goes up the rumored 8sh mill in two years

What is ten levels under super meh? That's what we had in the playoffs lol

 

[SK13]

What we saw from Cody Ceci was an elevated player. Nurse makes Ceci better, Ceci makes Nurse worse. And Ceci's flaws are magnified against a good forechecking team who targets his corner. This is two years of WOWY

This is the playoffs (holy shit):

YOOOO

The only way that makes sense to me is if Philadelphia likes Jack Campbell enough that the trade doesn't involve a huge asset flush. Obviously trading Skinner, who played a level that Hart hasn't in several years, isn't a thing that's gonna happen here.

Running Hart and Skinner, prioritizing the hotter hand, makes about as much sense as anything else these days. Goaltending is more unreliable than ever and there are maybe 3 guys who you can actually count on consistently.
