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

[JeffSkinner53]

Yup, heard that segment while driving. But some here saying the Oilers have league worst goaltending. I’m no Skinner Stan but he gets too much hate from some. Rough against the Canucks but an otherwise great playoffs

Hard to.be harsh on Skinner playing behind a defense pairing like Ceci-Nurse

 

[Mr Positive]

Our analysts have no idea what the Oilers are doing so this makes the situation just as confusing. So they aren't accuring cap anymore?

We are accruing cap space. LTIR only tanks that if you exceed the cap with it. Ira Cooper explains it quite well here



The Kane LTIR thing combined with the other cap hits is just more shenanigans to set the cap before the season. If I heard correctly it helps us perhaps with LTIR later. So first we have to spend the accrued space, and then we can spend Kane's

Edit: and the setting the LTIR is really dumb. It seems like to set the amount of LTIR we get from Kane we need to use all our cap space. That's because if we have 1 million in space then we would only have 4.125 million from Kane's LTIR because we'd have to use up the 1 million first. Using up the space sets Kane's LTIR hit at his full 5.125 aav. Then we send everyone down and have Kane's LTIR while having cap space that can start accruing

Haha. I’ll eat my hat if the Oilers have the best goaltending in the division at season’s end.

Just for the record and potential video that will need to be posted...

What kinda hat we talking here?

Broberg, Holloway and Lavoie for a mid second an and mid third is some tidy asset management by Bowman and Jackson.

This is a bit disingenuous though. We also got Paul Fischer and another 3rd, plus we didn’t add >6 million in cap space which would have prevented us from signing guys like Skinner and Arvidsson, you know, the two top 6 wingers we clamoured for all last season for Draisaitl.

That's too easy to eat, I vote for this one:

Sorry @harpoon

Sorry @harpoon

In the borderline impossible scenario where the Oilers have division best goaltending … haha, I can’t even write that without laughing … It’s going to be something more like this.

Sorry to disappoint.

Waiving Lavoie was so stupid

Some lofty expectations, time to reach them in the regular season.

JJ’s reign of terror continues. Other than hiring Knoblauch, the Drai extension, and signing Arvidsson everything that has happened on his watch has been bad for the team.

Forward group is old and slow, and soft to boot. The defense is flawed. Hard to be excited for this season and the future when the up and coming youth has been gutted from this team under Jackson’s watch.

Didn;t Wright sign the league min contract?

Almost 200k over league min

It’s happy times for me. Watching rookies play is like watching paint dry.
