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

[Mcnotloilersfan]

So what assets do the Oilers have to get an impactful player?

2026&2027 first
2025,2026&2027 2nds
2025,2026&2027 3rds
Savoie (though I have him as untouchable due to contract, unless he brings in someone cheap with term)
O'Rielly
Akey (see Savoie)
Rodrigue (in a deal for a younger goalie)

Something something Patrick Russell


Everyone has declined this year and it’s pretty funny to see their reactions.

Now now. Patrick Russell was never going to score a goal.

So not a whole heck of a lot

you can argue against plus/minus all you want, and that his defensive game has improved, and both are somewhat correct. But, what you can't argue against is that Knob still hasn't shown much, of any, trust in him. It's also quite clear that neither 29 or 97 have asked for 53 on their line, because if they had, he would of gotten shot with one of them. The mistake on 53 came on July 1, when none of the Oilers management group in charge of the signings (Jeff Jackson) seems to ran it by the coach and it's team leaders if they thought if Jeff Skinner, and the type of player he is (over 1000 games played in the NHL, plenty of game tape), was the right fit for this team.


way more effective than Arvidsson playing with a guy who has been playing at an MVP level. and a guy who has ZERO trust of his coach and the team's top 2 centres.

So your whole argument is Knob doesn’t like him? If so, I agree

That's a fake account btw haha.

I think we found the only worthwhile reason to bring back Pulj

goalie is priority #0, nothing else matters

 

[soothsayer]

Just go ahead and bump goaltending right back to the top of the list.

 

[Heavy Dee]

John Gibson, PLEASE

Guyzzz the trade deadline isn’t for another month!!! Can’t expect Bowman to just, like, trade good assets for good players. Only like six of those have happened since December.

The Oilers are a very good defensive team. With Emberson emerging and Klingberg looking decent we really don't need a top 4 D

Forward or goalie please!!!!!!!!

Even if you're taking that angle - Were they not short sighted in letting the situation become so toxic they traded a multi time 100 point power forward for a third line C a hit away from retiring, someone no one has ever heard of, and a mid to late first round pick?

once in not multi time
