Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Vegas Claims Raph Lavoie off Waivers, Everyone Else Cleared

[Cloned]

Cant wait for all of the Lagesson lovers start clamoring for Oilers to pick him off waivers.

I don’t think this is as likely as you’re predicting lol.

 

[McDNicks17]

Carolina might pay someone to take Ty Smith after the camp he had.

 

[McAsuno]

Had a pal tell me the Oilers should claim Brandon Bussi (nice name haha). 6 years younger than Pickard. He is 225k cheaper, and has had much better results in the AHL over the last 2 years.

 

[Mr Positive]

I'd grab Jakob Pelletier just for a GFY to the flames lol.

I doubt we would do anything like that. We are going to play nice with them in case they would consider trading us Andersson later in the season

Why not? Neither goalie had a good camp IMO.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The Oilers should claim bussi if Pickard isn't ready to start the year, plus creates competition

I'm not sure Bussi is any better than Rodrigue.

Kind of seems like he's a regular AHL goalie getting the "Boston goalie factory" bump.

Seems dumb and there aren't any of those.

Sure, but I literally can't hurt to see if there's something there.

but we'd have to play him on our NHL roster. If we just send him down, Boston just picks him up again.

Losing accrued cap space or waiving Pickard could both hurt.

Ok drama queens. Remember all the angst you’ve put yourself through over Josh Brown these past few weeks ? Turns out those hysterics were not a good use of your time or healthy for your mental well being. Yes, he was signed for three years. But it’s a buriable contract and management is capable of doing their job.

 

[McTonyBrar]

What I find really exciting and impressive, in a funny way, is that Stauffer and Seravalli were for sure 100% certain Josh Brown wasn’t going to be waived. Bowman keeps his cards close to the vest

 

[MoontoScott]

My guess is that some team does claim Lavoie this year.

A lot of offensive skill (albeit some short comings) and league minimum wage. 1 year contract.

If I was rebuilding a team then I would say why not?

edit--oh, wait, I posted the exact same thing last year.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm super happy Bowman put Brown on waivers.

 

[MoontoScott]

Pelletier on waivers--after being hyped by the Flames media for a number of years.

 

[McShogun99]

So apparently Bowman wasn’t high on Brown and he didn’t sign him obviously. The coaches were high on him and wanted to keep him. But the GM won that argument

Everyone's eye test won the argument. Every game I watched him play he stood out in a bad way. At least Stecher, Dermot and Emerton didn't stand out at all, which is a good thing.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Pelletier on waivers--after being hyped by the Flames media for a number of years.

Their fans on mouthbreatherpuck.com are angry lol

(He'll never be) the "Next Gaudreau" (RIP)

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Pelletier seems like a guy who would have been in Europe two years ago if he wasn't a former 1st rounder.

You don't see too many 5'9'' 170lbs 4th liners in the NHL.

And he's constantly injured too

 

[Cerebral]

Has Ty Smith ever played the right side? He’s a local guy and I’d be open to giving him a look over a guy like Stecher or Dermott.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

but we'd have to play him on our NHL roster. If we just send him down, Boston just picks him up again.

Probably, if they do, then he didn't make a difference for the Oilers

 

[Heavy Dee]

So camp just a big waste of time except for PTO Dermott likely getting a contract. This roster was picked two months ago.

Good thing we wasted all the opportunity to at least let Draisatl gel with his new wingers.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Probably, if they do, then he didn't make a difference for the Oilers

where does Picard go?

 

[ottawah]

If I was Edmonton, I'd pick up Brannstrom and not sign Dermott..

I'm guessing you have not seen a lot of these two players? I wouldn't base it on draft position ....

Brannstrom has been jettisoned from 3 teams in 3 months. There is a reason.

 

[soothsayer]

Carolina might pay someone to take Ty Smith after the camp he had.

I remember people arguing that he was better than Bouchard early in their careers.
