Rumor: Rumors & Proposals thread: Vatanen gone as well

[ChaoticOrange]

So... We ever going to see Chia put a stamp on this team?

I have a feeling now its going to be trade for another weak D prospect at the draft and hope for the best.

Keep in mind Chiarelli has been on the job for one year. One.

Damn. When WILL that guy get off his thumb and do something?

 

[TheBrew]

If they can LTIR him for the year, why buy him out?

It would depend on how much salary Chia adds because the LTIR doesn't help with the bonuses that Mcdavid, Draisaitl, etc would get at the end of the year.

 

[Spawn]

My blind speculation thought. I wonder if the Oilers ask Chicago about Seabrook. Terrible year in regards to advanced shot metrics. Career year in regards to offensive production. Not saying it would necessarily be a smart move. But wouldn't be surprised if Chia asked. Would solve the Blackhawks cap problems.

So ...we ever going to wait until after draft and free agency before we start to judge an off season?

Right now, this is all just coming across as some pretty severe impatience. Got to give the man some time. The season just ended a less than a week ago and things don't reallt start to happen until the draft (or day before).

I'd say wait until July 7th or so. That tends to be around the time that teams pack it up for the year and rosters are set. From the draft until that point is the busiest time of roster turnover. If nothing has happened by that point, then it's time to worry.

Thats the type of deal i see happening. Not Seabrook necessarily, but just a guy who hasnt been discussed.

 

[Supermassive]

We can add Kilnkhammer to the OUT pile. Signed with HC Dinamo Minsk recently.

**** it I'm done with this **** team, hello darkness my old friend.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Seabrook is a big risk. He wouldn't be cheap to acquire because the Hawks need him and he's still a good player, but that contract is uuuuuugly.

 

[Raab]

I'll hinge my bet on Micheal Stone. A guy no one really is talking about.

Ah, the Griffin Reinhart avenue.

Stone and 7 for 4 and... Something. Yakupov?

Goligoski might give them some flexibility, he can play either side.

Why do we keep giving Yakupov to rivals as some throw in?

I'd really like to see Chia take a run at David Savard. I could see him being a 40 pt plus defenseman as an Oiler, affordable contract 4.25 per, 25 years old, RH shot, 6'2" 220 plus pounds...wonder what it would take to get him

Apparently fans of the in cap hell blue jackets think it will cost us RNH +...

 

[Raoul Duke]

Isn't the LTIR contract off the books (cap wise) once the season starts? If it's season long, isn't the contract gone as far as cap space? Beginning the season should be fine with bonuses not counting until the players qualify for them.
Please explain.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Why do we keep giving Yakupov to rivals as some throw in?

Because that's what he seems to be at this point. The human equivalent of a second round pick.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

4 > 7
Stone > Yak.

Not a throw in but he's clearly the least valuable asset in that deal.

 

[belair]

Then give them the 2nd rounder. At least that ones far less likely to blow up in your face.

 

[McPuritania]

Until we trade him to Philly for Ghostisberebsbebereeisbeeree.

I think that's how you spell it.

I'd love to land him. Just don't know what the deal would look like? Maybe we send them Pouliot+Yakupov for Foligno and Savard. Clears quite a but of salary for them. I dunno though if they consider Foligno a cap dump yet.

Foligno at 5.5 for another 4 years has me uninterested. Just too long.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

What is your offer sheet order preference?

For me it is..

Ristolainen
Lindholm
Jones

Not to mention that NMC he's carrying.
