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

Ryan on waivers. Josh Brown to AHL

With those two moves- I think they should be out of LTIR and back to accruing space again.

Rumour is Nemec and Mercer for JT Miller

I would be surprised that Quinn Hughes would give his endorsement to his brothers to pick up Miller.

I thought Hughes and Petterson were closer but who honestly knows. That dressing room is a mess:

Waiving Ryan is just a sign that Bowman/Keith convinced Toews to come here.

Oil are now in full deadline test mode with the Klingberg and Philp adds and making the waiver decision on Derek Ryan. Klingberg is essentially a Dollarama Erik Karlsson type who will test a cheap, low risk option to add a high octane puck mover. They couldn't burn up all of their cap and trade assets on one player and this puck moving type is most expensive to acquire. Philp gets a decent runway to evaluate as a
4th C option though I expect they might look for veteran coverage with a hard game.

Still expect a top 4 D add which will burn the bigger trade assets. Though the player type, two-way or shutdown cycle breaker, hard ice and PKer is easier and cheaper to find than elite puck mover. So wonder more about mid-range term guys like Connor Murphy or ... even Ristlainnen and a 3/4 C option with a heavy, playoff style game. Might even be a pure shutdown guy like David Savard who has a career 60.7% defensive zone starts with deep established coaching trust with hard, goal suppression situational play

Operation Test Drive is in effect.

Post Deadline/Playoffs Game 1:
- Top 4 Dpuck mover or shutdown
- #6 D puck mover Klingberg
- 3 or 4C with hard ice, grind game
- Evander Kane
