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

[belair]

I prefer the Oilers do the Rangers a favor and take Lafreniere and Miller off their hands

We may not have the space to do that, but I like your thinking.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Blah blah blah. Same arguments.

An RFA with limited history of playing well was offered what he was worth and chose a significant overpay.

This whole issue is tired and I’m not indulging it anymore.

Yet you still do.

This team made it to game seven of the Stanley Cup final.

We didn’t lose a Pronger level player during the off season this time but the way some people are behaving you’d think we lost several world beaters and completely missed the playoffs for a decade.

LMAO Lavoie back on waivers lol

They should do that and claim Entwhistle to try him at 4C for a bit. He's big RHC.

Lavoie back on waivers Wtfff hahahah

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

can we stop roasting Stan for waiving Lavoie or was that still bad of him?

 

[K1984]

Stunning that an elite of the elite organization like Vegas would simply waive such a hot young player. Horrific asset management. How could they possibly expose such a quality young player that lit up the pre-season!?

Right? Am I doing this right?

Lavoie back on waivers

said this yesterday. Lavoie isn't NHL ready.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

What the hell was the point?

 

[oXo Cube]

So we can claim Lavoie and immediately assign him to the Condors now right? Much ado about nothing.

said this yesterday. Lavoie isn't NHL ready.

Surely if this is true then he pretty much isn't a thing right? Can't be a lot of successful career paths for one dimensional wingers who aren't NHL ready after 200 AHL games.

wouldn't other teams lower in the standings get first dibs? maybe DVD knows no one else wants him

I can’t believe Vegas would risk losing a young piece like Lavoie on waivers. Idiots!

If he was NHL ready, he would be on a NHL roster given he was just offered to all 31 other teams. Nows hes been waive twice in 3 days. Shows it isn't just the Oilers that think he isn't ready.

Vegas chose Schwindt over him.

Oilers get first dibs regardless of who places a claim. If the oilers are the only claim we can send him down to the AHL. IF another team makes a claim along with us, we still get him back, but can't send him to the AHL without waivers again.

This turned out well for us, our org just got 41k out of Vegas for nothing.

I think what happened is they just put claims on both in case they didn't get one or the other.

 

[Oilslick941611]

What the hell was the point?

they put claims on lavoie and schwindt thinking they would get one, they chose Schwindt over generationally overhyped on here Lavoie, so he's back on waivers.

I guess every team DOES have one or two Lavoie’s…….

Today I am the wrestler and @Jarvi is the guy in red.

 

[Mr Kot]

Vegas paid us 41k for the transaaction. Do we have to give the money back if we reclaim him?

 

[belair]

Trouba can’t defend. Oh my goodness. He needs a babysitter.

The Rangers would love to be rid of him.

And like I said, that desperation is the only reason that they'd be paying the cost of retention.

Nurse needs a partner that can handle his workload. And that defenseman also needs to come from the current market of realistically available defenders. He also needs to come within the Oilers' very specific cap structure and not cost the farm.

When Nurse's best season came in a year where he spent the majority of his time paired with Ethan Bear, I don't really have a preference for the type of player. IMO it's more important that we not blow every disposable asset trying to find the perfect fit.

Your close. You still need to post 682 more times the same thing. @Jarvi can you please grade K1984 if he’s doing this right? Or does he need to be more of a prick?

 

[MessierII]

They probably didn’t anticipate they would win both claims.
