Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Where's the Beef?

Were Jackson and Bowman the ones who passed on Wallstedt?

No that was Holland and he’s gone.

It goes back before Holland and it will continue after Bowman. Edmonton and franchise goalies haven’t been a thing since Joseph.

Askarov two games so far this year and two shut outs. The guy was there for the taking and our management are so stupid they thought Skinner and rodrigue were the answer long term.

Askarov was never available with an Oilers pick.

He went 11 the year the Oilers took Holloway at 14.

 

[brentashton]

Pickard, Nurse and Akey for Jarry and Petterson?

Shake things up

Oh boy. This place will become uninhabitable if so.

You need to tell me where your crystal ball supplier is located.

Nah, just like all the other posters writing off this management for previous regimes mistakes, they read the leaked "Oilers Handbook: Things All Management Must Do to Continue Pissing Off Fans"

 

[Stud Muffin]

Who are some RHD candidates to pair with Nurse long term? Ideally we pull off something similar to the Ekholm trade and get a solid RHD for 3+ years out of the deal.

Maybe Tbe Islanders do bad and a player shakes loose

My conspiracy hat is firmly on. I do not think Katz like taking goalies in the first round or giving up a lot to get one. If that makes any sense

They could have traded them Savoie. Sharks traded essentially a 2nd round prospect a late first (Vegas) and a 24 year old goalie prospect who was playing in the ECHL last year they certainly could have offered a similar package. FYI I wasnt talking about drafting him I was talking about trading for him when it came out he put in a trade request and said he wouldnt report to the AHL.

 

[Broberg Speed]

We still all know you're a CP poster man.

gang gang gang gang

You don't have any aspirations for the Oilers to win, that's a given I figured out a long time ago.

You already used that one on the other account, David Hasselhoff. Keep track.

And we are still out a first pairing defenseman for sweet dick all if you failed to notice, herr.

You guys, just f***ing stop it already.

and we have not drafted a good one since either Dubnyk or Fuhr depending on how you view things

 

[McAsuno]

Shake things up

Please God no. Jarry works with Dustin Schwartz.

I wouldn’t have done it. The forward prospect is always more of a sure thing.

Michael Kesselring. Why did the Oilers botch this one too? Weren't all signs pointing to him being at minimum an NHL player? We got a handful of games from Bjugstad and ine playoff goal? MK is now 24, RHD, 20+ minutes, 6-5, can skate and is signed 1.4M x 2 more seasons. We chose Vinny over this player? Vinny who has no kffensive skill and is 4 years older? If the Oilers had Broberg and Kesselring instead of Emberson and Stetcher, they might win the Cup in 20 playoff games or less.

The Oilers talent evaluation under Holland was pretty suspect...maybe even putrid. Saved by UFA signings, Ekholm trade and generational 1st round draft picks.

Kesselring looked like a player. A lot of people were surprised he was shipped out in the deal.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Pens go no unless we are adding more. Jarry is signed until 2028 @ 5.375 after this one and Nurse for 5 @ 9.25.

On the main board some suggested Jarry @5.375 fand Ryan Graves @4.5 until 2029 for Nurse and a 2nd.

If you read it it makes sense and works, if you just see Jarry and Nurse, then your confusion make sense.

Also the rest of you read Nurse going the other way right?

 

[CupofOil]

That one never made sense to me. He showed well at a bunch of camps, was doing really well in the AHL and looked like he was ready for a call-up.

That's not the type of prospect you add into a deal as a throw-in. That should have been some U20 prospect in junior or a guy struggling in the AHL.

They added Kesselring, as a thrown in, on top of a 3rd round pick which should have been close enough to land a bottom 6 center rental. I will never understand that trade vocally hated it at the time, Holland loved throwing away prospects and picks.
Sadly, this regime seems to be not much better in that regard thus far although I don't completely blame them for losing Broberg and Holloway but it still stings nonetheless.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If only one of the media stooges would point out how terrible our asset management has been, but that would get their access revoked.

lol
Another account eh lol
Your losing your mind maybe it’s time you stop

That was such a dumb trade. A 3rd for Bjugstad was more than enough. That piece was a seed that Holland planted in case he wants a job in Utah

 

[Canovin]

Skinner for Gibson 60%. 3rd team involved.

 

[russ99]

So today we're just going to whine about past moves or non-moves, sounds good. lolol

 

[CupofOil]

honestly feels like every single move this org made in the summer is backfiring.
Skinner- Good move he is working hard.
Arvidsson- Much worse than he even was last year
Emberson- Not an NHL player
Dermott- Awful
J Brown- Lol
Henrique- Fine
Savoie- Could be fine, still way too early to tell.
Foegele Out- Good
Holloway- Could use him
Broberg- I can’t even shit on him right now.

What’s funny is if you don’t sign J Brown and Arvidsson you could have kept Broberg and Holloway and have probably had a better team. And I still don’t think Broberg is all that good but he is better than Brown, Dermott and our AHL guys.


What’s funny is if we replace Arvidsson with Holloway we probably have a better lineup. Arvidsson has been next to useless.

Maybe give it more than 6 games before making sweeping statements?

I see this a failure of Bakersfield to develop a 4C, with such a huge focus on AHL lifers and bottom six prospects seems a big failure.
