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

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

They need to being the cap hit to 8.5 at least. Really more like 8

It is interesting that SJ only wants to take it to 9.2, basically Nurse's same cap hit

Although maybe I'm okay with the 20% being the "free" retention, just as the cost of business. So maybe if we add more to deal they could do another million

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

That only creates space if we send a contract back that way.

Acquiring him without any contracts going the other way opens up zero cap space.

If the sharks wont trade Karlsson, Garvikov is going to Boston and Chychrun goes to LA who does that leave for Edmonton?

Not a whole lot out there.

Holland gets the guy he's been after all along....Edmundson.

The Edmonton Oilers Should Help The Nashville Predators Start Their Rebuild

The trade season is upon us and lots of teams need to figure out what to do. Here is a move where the Edmonton Oilers start the Nashville Predators rebuild.

Monahan doesn't create cap space.

A bag for holding.

 

[McDoused]

A bag for holding.

Or maybe a bag of holding.

 

[T-Funk]

Or maybe a bag of holding.

A bag of Holden.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

If the Sharks still want something like 3 1st rounders for EK at 20% just tell them to shove it and work on something else.

If they don’t want to move him the one season in the past 5 that’s he’s actually worth something then so be it.

 

[belair]

A bag of Holden.

A big ol bag of Nick Holden.

Ok why is that exactly? I thought if you traded for a guy on LTIR you could exceed the cap by his full amount no?

San Jose is dreaming. Karlsson at his current contract would pass through waivers and has negative value.

It doesnt really work that way. If the Oilers are already in LTIR they cant just add more LTIR for unlimited cap space.

You can try to get under the cap using gymnastics and sending down guys then put guys on LTIR to try and maximize it.

So we're down to either Klingberg or Gostisbehere?

lmao I'm done

Holland is already a bag that holds something, so it shouldn’t be a shock… and yet it is. Hope Katz thinks he is getting his money’s worth.

 

[nexttothemoon]

With Washington slowly dropping out of the playoff race (still time to recover but they are trending slowly down)... I could see several D options from the Caps being of interest.

They have no signed dmen for next season except Carlson.


Dmitry Orlov is the obvious name... not sure if he'd re-sign in Edmonton... but if the cost was reasonable (and the Caps retain say 50%... he'd be a decent pickup even if it's just for 1 playoff run). Orlov has a 5 team no-trade list though and I'd assume Oilers are on it.

Erik Gustafsson is someone I could see Holland being interested in as a cheap rental that should cost very little to acquire. Another decent offense-1st puck-mover who's having a solid year. I've always thought he's underrated... especially at his rock bottom cap hit. Basically a much cheaper Ghostisbehere.

Something like handkerchiefs? Werther's Originals? Change for the payphone?

By the sounds of it some of you guys wish you could kick him in bag.

 

[bellagiobob]

So the story on retention has gone from:

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

That's similar to my crypto account over the last week.

No one even said this. Relax and don’t jump off a bridge yet..

 

[Moregoalspls]

How can san Jose want so much for a contract they would be happy to off load. As much as I want to see him here, the cost is just rediculois from what the rumors are saying

Ok I’m super confused as to how this works then because I remember the Leafs trading for LTIR the past two seasons and being able to exceed the cap by that amount. I must be missing something I guess.
