damnit washington got to ellers first

The fire sale has begun...

Great deal for the Caps tho.

Surprised Holland didn’t go to another team to be honest.

It’s kinda weird too that Brad Holland left if he had no other team to go to. I fully expected him to follow Papa to another team. Maybe Jackson didn’t want him here or Brad really didn’t want to be here though.

Definitely seems like a "'Ride in to the sunset "job...

He just needs to kept away from anything cap related whatsoever there, lol.

What do you peeps think of the idea of trading for Rasmus Dahlin? I can't say I've seen him play enough to know if he'd be good here or if he's still even a good player but he's probably sick of losing all the time in Buffalo and I imagine the Sabers might try to make another big shake up.

 

[Soundwave]

Pretty much all goalies here have gotten driven into ground at some point.

Talbot was driven into the ground for like an entire season(s). Least with Smith or Koskinen it was more like 15-20 game stretches. Even Skinner has been driven into the ground for stretches.

The way this team has handled goalie starts has been weird for awhile.

The amount of effort Oilers organizationally place on goaltending (trading for, drafting, development, coaching):

Good luck prying him out of Buffalo. His contract would make it impossible anyway, even if Buffalo went insane.

Ok.

Moving right along.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Eller got flipped back to the Caps, so things are moving.

Besides O'Connor and Beauvillier, Marcus Petterson, the Oilers should be all over getting him.

Not sure he'd have much left on the tank by the time he gets to the postseason. If we're adding bottom six depth, I'd like them to be a bit younger and a bit quicker.

Nurse is getting paid "Elevate your partner" money

I just want the team to function. So if we drop that idea that Nurse has to elevate his partner. Plus, which Dmen do that? It's not like Makar has to play with a Stecher or Dermott

I wouldn’t mind them picking up Kahkonen and test driving him. Same cap hit as Pickard, waive him and run with a Skinner/Kahkonen tandem for a bit.

I totally agree. If we aren't happy with our goaltending then we should be trying out guys. Even at 28 I think there's still starter potential there

Man Toronto got lucky picking up stolarz. He has carried Toronto this year. We're so stuck on skinner we don't even look around

Didn't we have Stolarz with us for a tiny bit?

There's only one guy on this roster that would convince them to trade their captain.

He was who we got for Talbot from the Flyers.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Marcus Petterson should be our target all day. Bowman can f*** off if he doesn’t at least inquire about him

How are you going to find out if he does or doesn’t?

Get media to ask questions and stop just making excused for Stan all the time.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Ah so you aren't paying attention, fair enough and continue.

Also, it should be asked, if you're done with this team, then be that. It will save time and grief.

Being worried about the Jacket's situation is weird and pointless.

Cool so you're a child. Don't use logic people or it means you're not a fan of a particular team when a proposal is god awful for the other team. I could literally pull up all the proposals you come up with and you'd be continually ridiculed on the main boards if they saw it.

 

[LTIR]

David Jiricek for Evan Bouchard as a base. Additions can ne discussed,

Any interest for the Oilers ?

Never mind!!!!

Pass

 

[McDNicks17]

Add Dobson and it's interesting.

Dobson + Jiricek for Bouchard

Assuming Bouchard wants more than 6M per

How are the Blue Jackets getting Dobson though?

For McDavid?
I would pass assuming McDavid isn't willing to extend here.

Shoot

Okay and if he says he did but for whatever reason the Pens trade him elsewhere are people going to meltdown?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Interesting, California is really nice for rich hockey players.

Nurse+++ for Fowler

Buddy. Just drop it. Nobody is trading for Nurse and this team doesn't improve moving assets to dump his contract. Have you seen how this team spends the money it gets? Generally not well.

Perfect, then we best just quit. Sound good, we wouldn't Stan to have to work too hard.

Yep. We should quit being a hockey team. Because that contract alone prevents us from ever finding success. Hopeless.

He also carries a $2.45M cap hit which would really tie the teams hands at the deadline.

Nurse also wouldn’t waive to go to a bottom feeder.
