Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | With Klingberg in the Mix Who Are Our 7D After the Deadline?

[FlameChampion]

Oooof.

That's atrocious.

I wish I had a live feed if MacKinnon's reaction.

If they didn’t think Rantanen was going to re-sign or didn’t want to pay him 14x8 they are in a tough spot.

 

[Oilslick941611]

No need. Our stars like it here.

I just knew there would stupid idiotic FOMO going on with this trade.

We are 4th in the league.

And like you said our stars enjoy it here

The Oilers would never have balls to do what COL is doing lol

FOMO

We are 4th in the league. Why would we trade a superstar?


This is just silly.

 

[FlameChampion]

Yo

Youd have to think hall at 3 mil would get you a third though.

Yeah but that would require another retention slot which would be there last

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

So Colorado also gets a 2nd and a 4th. If they go out and get Miller with the extra cap space, they're still a very dangerous team.

Seravalli saying the trade that went down wasn't even the biggest deal being talked about in the last 24 hours. What else is cooking? Sid?

 

[McDNicks17]

Chicago getting their own 3rd back from Carolina.

Offer sheet incoming!

They apparently won't pay anybody more than MacKinnon's cap hit, so it was either get him to take 12.5 or trade him I guess.

 

[Mr Kot]

So THIS is why the forums is slow as shit lol

 

[YakDavid]

Yeah but that would require another retention slot which would be there last

you would use it on hall and not rantanen. Just feels like they gave away hall and have cap savings of 1.625.

 

[McFlyingV]

That is a monumental downgrade for Colorado. They just became significantly worse. Necas outside of his hot first 2 months this season is a mundane complementary top 6 winger. He's another Elias Lindholm.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Pittsburgh about to deal.

Crosby to Edmonton

They did the trade knowing Dubas is gonna gift them Crosby.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I know Bizz is reaching/hoping - but if Sid goes to the Avs...

 

[Messrules11]

Not only that but they pay Rantanen while Colorado and Carolina say thank you. Now these two teams can still squeeze another deal before the trade deadline.
Besides Bedard and maybe Teravainen Chicago has no one, isn’t Bedard still ELC, surely Hall’s 6M wasn’t a backbreaker.

 

[belair]

Yo

They got a 3rd and spent essentially no money. Hall nightclub got them that 3rd, but it would've cost them over $1m in actual dollars retaining half his remaining contract.

Chicago cares nothing about cap space.

I mean when you know you can’t sign him and don’t want to lose him for nothing, it’s a decent return.

Yeah honestly they could of just stayed out of the deal and traded Hall @50%. I don’t know if he gets a third but it wouldn’t of been far off. Davidson got bored I guess

 

[McFlyingV]

I mean when you know you can’t sign him and don’t want to lose him for nothing, it’s a decent return.

Why exactly can't they re-sign him? The cap is going to increase as much if not more than his raise would be. I'd dump Mittlestadt long before I'd dump Rantanen.

Unless of course the player had zero interest in re-signing.

 

[FlameChampion]

Would sort of line up with Franks tweet that Rantanen wasn’t the biggest trade rumour he heard today lol. Super doubtful though.

He either doesn’t want to sign there or Colorado doesn’t want to pay him more than MacKinnon

They didn't want to hurt MacKinnon's feelings being the highest paid player on the team. At least, that's what people are saying lol.

Yikes. This sounds like John Tavares!!

I saw some mention that the Avs refuse to pay anyone more than Mack's $12.5 and are firm on that. If true, Rantanen likely made it known that he wouldn't be willing to do that.

All the talk is Rantanen wanted around Draisaitl money and Colorado has a hard cap of not paying anyone more than MacKinnon.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Just for fun, how big of a package would you give for Sid 50% retained this year and next?

 

[McFlyingV]

So that is just a hilariously laughable reason to trade a superstar winger for Elias Lindholm 2.0. If Edmonton did that with Draisaitl because McDavid makes 12.5 I would be losing my mind.

Any prospect and picks you want. Imagine Sid as our 3rd line centre.
