Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: The "Well, we're waiting!!!" Edition with a sprinkle of "Don't believe his lies."

[Arpeggio]

I wonder if they're back to focusing on Chychrun. Left hand shot, signed at a reasonable amount, seems to be an opportunity to grab him away from a division rival. Puljujarvi and then two firsts seems like a reasonable start? Maybe a first and a second?

 

[T-Funk]

Not sure what the issue would be there.

Nothing really wrong with that move, just the not addressing our defense part.

Just setting the tone so people arent dissapointed when Holland is done.

MATHESON: Jakob Chychrun could be a perfect partner for Darnell Nurse

If the Oilers can’t get Erik Karlsson because of the whopping compensation, the fall-back has to be Arizona’s Jakob Chychrun.

"Winger Raphael Lavoie has gone from suspect to strong prospect with his recent hot streak in Bakersfield. He had 12 goals in a 20-game stretch going into the Condors’ Tuesday game against San Diego Gulls."

Something like Bouchard + JP (or Foegele) + a 1st ? for 50% Chychrun would be interesting. I dont know though lol

Oilers scouting Chicago tonight

We're talking to the Habs for Monahans contract. LTIR that bad boy and boom cap space created.

If we brought in kane for puljujarvi I doubt people would be disappointed. That would be a substantial upgrade.

Yes the defense needs an upgrade but unless it’s Chychrun or karlsson I’m not sure anything else we have heard would be that much of an improvement.

I agree its a substantial upgrade.

People will still complain though.

Agreed on the defense.

The names being thrown out for the Oilers do not fill me with hope.

Tomorrow could be a very interesting day in Oil Country...

Karlsson taking full control of his NMC and also letting his wife know, he's going wherever he has the best chance at a cup

 

[Jarvi]

It's favorable trading four 1st round picks to run a short roster?

The Kane trade at the very least is going to cost what Toronto paid for their package, which was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. We also have to account for salary moving out. Trading Foegele would cost capital.

I think Foegele has value. 26yo and players of his ilk can take longer to hit their stride offensively. He is on pace to live up to his contract, and having a contract year next year, could probably fetch a team a pick next deadline. At least thats how I'd sell it to other teams.

And I think its favourable to put the best team on the ice we can, for a shot at the cup with one of the most offensively stacked teams of the cap era.

TBH if that tweet is accurate it doesn't sound like he's going anywhere.

20% retention isn't going to get it done.

 

[Faelko]

So the story on retention has gone from:

18% to 20% to 40% to any amount back down to 20%….lol.

In before the Knights somehow get EK65 and the sharks retain 50%

 

[YakDavid]

Doesn’t mention how much salary they’d be willing to take though.

20% from San Jose. 20% from another team

Im wondering why KH is trying to squeeze Grier?

Good point. Mrs Karlsson likely vetoes any trade to Edmonton.

Hmm this might actually be a thing. What’s his cap hit again?

That would only create cap space if you're trading someone like Pulju, Yamo, Foegele, etc. for him.

Why? She is from Ottawa so it’s not like the cold weather should be a factor. She’s not a rich spoiled brat like Prongers wife was as far as I know either

 

[GMofOilers]

So if San Jose doesn’t want to play ball there is no ball game.
