Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: "Wheat Kings and Pretty Things, Let's See What The Expansion Draft Brings

[TheNumber4]

K so with the Ellis trade and the Leddy trade we now have two comps to compare the Keith trade to. Keith has been the lowest cost out of all. Their performances on their new teams will be an interesting watch.

 

[Oilception]

So did we officially do nothing?

How in the world is the Ellis trade comparable to the Keith one?

Ellis is still a top pairing defensemen and is 8 years younger than Keith.

I dont think Ellis or Leddy are worldbeaters but it would be very surprising if Keith outperforms either one of them, and neither of them are going to retire in the next 2 years and evaporate all the value invested in acquiring them.

Did they move?

Nope, not announced yet at least

If Lars doesn’t sing in Edmonton, that tweet Spector put out is pretty irresponsible.

Is it ok if he just dances?

 

[North]

Nope, not announced yet at least

If they didn’t move than maybe they weren’t available.

Larsson signing in Edm as per Spector. 4x3.9

Happy I am wrong. But I think the Oilers started low and were forced to come up when they realized other teams would be eye balling larsson

Why are so many people crying like trade deadline passed and everything is over?

Because FOMO and people are insane.

Ellis is definitely a world beater

It’s not at this point. But if Keith improves and Ellis takes a step back. Perceptions will change quickly on the value aspect of that trade. Ellis has never reached the heights Keith has hit, means not much at 38 years old but you never know what playing with McDrai and going to a good team from a bad team can do for a player.

 

[McDrai]

I'm surprised Nolan Patrick has any sort of value to be honest. That's a great deal for Philly essentially upgrading from Myers to Ellis. Must be nice to have a competent GM

It'll be interesting to see the expansion lists league wide. Hour to go.

He’s fallen off a bit though.

I of course have no idea what Holland did or didn't do but both of those guys are likely going to be lost in the expansion draft unless they have deals with Seattle. I would've been trying to convince them trade one, and perhaps that's exactly what Holland did. That's fine.

 

[McDrai]

Wow

 

[ujju2]

What the ACTUAL f***?

 

[McAsuno]

Seattle potentially being good right off the bat is as irritating as the knights having imminent success

 

[North]

Wow. St. Louis don’t want him in the room anymore. Can go shopping with that extra cap if Seattle takes him.

Can we fold our team and receive an expansion team instead? I feel like we could win a playoff game that way

 

[TheNumber4]

Wow

Wouldn’t it make sense to keep Tank just for the trade value??

 

[SwedishFire]

What the ACTUAL f***?

St Louis prob would lose him anyway, and now they wont lose anyone else, if Tarasenko is exposed. My guess...
