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

[Forgot About Drai]

NYI claimed Boqvist off waivers. They've now acquired 3 defensemen in the last few weeks, two of them being right shots. Maybe they're getting ready to move someone out.

Pulock at 6M is actually pretty great value.

I would love to make that work.

If you look at the LW depth on Vegas... it makes total sense for Saad to head there.

That's exactly the guy I would have my sights set on.

I mean granted with the type of production from Pods/Arvidsson it's not like there wouldn't be a top 6 spot open here for him too.

Could quite well be that the Oilers treatement of Jeff Skinner didn't reflect too well to Saad and he maybe feared he could end up in the same doghouse.

Thank god for revenue sharing, now those trash can US teams can support the Canadian teams instead of the other way around.

Bettman will probably try to move the teams not making money asap though

I actually don't think Bettman is going to act reactively with anything. The mature NHL big business model is now built upon stability within established franchises and continuing to build and expand into new American big and mid-size markets with increasing franchise fees, national U.S. market coverage important for critical revenue diversification imperatives in broadcast rights and sponsorship. Big money is also bringing cartel partners increasing wheelbarrow's of money through limiting the supply side of cartel expansion The mobile home immature business model phase of traveling Wilbury franchises is long passed.

Bettman is a shrewd businessman with a central premise to maximize profits above all.

Isn't Vegas over the cap now?

Bowman strikes out again. His big add is looking to be Klingberg, which is just not good enough at this stage in our window.

Ladies and gentleman a public service announcement. Call and/or hug your parents if you can. My Dad has just passed away unexpectedly with more I wish I could have said or done to show my love.

Sorry to hear that friend. Hope you’re doing okay and condolences to you and your family.

Back to Atlanta or Phoenix for the Jets.

The dollar has gone through a couple cycles of ups n downs over the years. So maybe by then the dollar will recover to hanging around 80-85 cents to the US dollar and not be so burdensome

God bless your family, my friend. I know the pain as my father died in my arms a few years ago

Vegas gets to have their own internal cap that's 25% higher than the league's posted limit

 

[Oilhawks]

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning toward a bridge for him, despite the risk.



This is where it's going I guess.

Figured

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Sure, like what? Again, I don't think you know how any of this works.

Think like 1% harder about all of this and stop having me defend that stupid f***er Stan.

This is my complete lack of surprise. I was tempted to make a bold statement about it, but doubt creeped in.

Still, predictable.

My condolences man.


Never hesitate to tell your family you love them. You never know when it might be the last time.

Looks like it's official as per TSN on Saad

 

[CupofOil]

Saad signing with Vegas is shocking I tell ya.
Oh well, nothing much was lost here. Onward and upward

 

[Canovin]

Calgary and Vegas always in the way of who we are trying to sign. Carolina always in the way of who we were trying to draft.

 

[bellagiobob]

Sad has scored in only 3 of the 47 games he has played in this year. Hoping that trend continues.

 

[Canovin]

Just curious if Saad ends up in waivers after the trade deadline and the Oilers claim him, is he eligible to play in the playoffs?

 

[stewy04]

I think we're all gonna start loving Daddy Katz pretty soon with this big cap increase and having an owner not afraid to spend to the max. It's gonna be the opposite of the 90's when we were on the other end of the spectrum. But hopefully Toronto or someone doesn't go throwing like $20 million at Connor lol

They shouldn't have a chance to

 

[Oilhawks]

Yup. He was likely guaranteed a spot on the Golden Showers (with his agent likely pointing out their depth has been decimated). May have looked at the J Skinner bouncing in and out of the press box and figuring he could be in that situation quite easily as well.

Too bad he had to go to the biggest scumbag franchise in the league, though.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

While I would have been down for the Saad experiment, our 2 biggest needs up front are physicality and elite finishing. He doesn't check either of those boxes.
