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

Hard pass on Jones. Thats family hates Canada part of the reason Caleb left.

So when does Brown get flushed down?

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

The opportunity will not get better than now with a bunch of new mega contracts kicking in over the next few years.

I recognize that it's generally a bit silly to get mad about imaginary moves we all make up on here, but I will be so immensely frustrated if the Oilers don't sell everything not nailed down to load up the roster for this run.

This is the year 100 percent

 

[AddyTheWrath]

The annual cap hit doesn’t matter at all.

It matters if you try to bury him in the AHL doesn't it?

Now start calling everybody a few times a week for a good tandem option for Skinner. I give Picks credit, but I do not want the same duo for another run. This years run is going to be tougher than last year.

Give me Vejmelka, Gourde and Carlo and I will be a happy happy man

Demko unhappy in Vancouver now too. It’s all falling apart.

Oilers literally killed two franchise eras with playoff victories over the Flames and Canucks.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Seravalli says Oilers have a lot of time to see if Klingberg fits in until the Deadline. He is not a big believer in him at this point in his career. If he can play, it gives the Oilers a chance to not make any moves until the deadline where new defenders may become available

Where you see this? Guy has been brutal since returning. Think he has played 10/11 games now.

On the main trade board.

You hate to see it, but more importantly you love to see it.

That’s a shame

Well shit, they have to rely on Shitlovs again!

I wonder about trading Skinner to a team like Carolina for Jesper Fast.

He's currently on LTIR, so you could add him to the LTIR pool while getting rid of Skinner's cap. The pro for Carolina would be getting a player that they drafted and can actually play in the lineup.

And Skinner gets to stay on a playoff team.

The rumor as I've heard it is that Demko is one of several other Canucks who are also sick of JT Miller.

Unless fast returns during the playoffs, we gain nothing but the skinner cap space

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

They would never trade him to us at a sane cost, but Boeser would be unreal for the cup run.

 

[soothsayer]

I would take that in a heartbeat.

It is quite amazing how closely the Canucks collapse is following the Calgary model. They've already accomplished losing to the Oilers in second round, are in the process of nailing the "hire hard-ass coach who wins Jack Adams in bumper year, miss playoffs next year" arc, and are well on the way to ostracizing all their star players and having to trade most of them in the offseason.

Wouldn't be all that surprised if both the coach and GM are terminated in the offseason as well.

Klingberg thread disappear?

 

[McTonyBrar]

From what Stauffer said, the hunch was correct. Oilers are giving Klingberg a run until the deadline to see if he’s still got it. If he doesn’t, they will go for a top
4 defender.

He also said the defender they may get at the deadline may not be available at the moment

 

[Jumptheshark]

Klingberg thread disappear?

there were two of them. You may have the poster with the valid thread on Ignore

 

[AddyTheWrath]

That would be the point. Who wouldn’t want another 3M to spend?

I know Ratmouse Andersson has been discussed and Conroy said he wants to re-sign him but with Calgary fighting for a WC spot, Andersson came to mind first, even though Bob could be talking about anyone.

That's another reason why getting Klingberg makes sense. It's easy to say we should get someone established, who skate and has some physical edge, oh and shoots right. Except, there are fewer sellers than ever these days, and we don't have a lot of futures to compete with on the trade market. This is a massive sellers market and every buyer wants what we want
The fact that Klingberg might solve our issue makes the signing worth it, even if it isn't league minimum.
