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

Listening to Stauffer before I had to turn it off when he started talking about Danielle Smith being the only politician who fights for Alberta- he mentioned Rantanen.

What he said was “he is throwing a curveball” he quoted the time 5:47- and then proceeded to say that last year when Carolina traded for Guentzal - they got burnt when he didn’t re-sign. Would Carolina trade Rantanen if they couldn’t re-sign him before the deadline. Obviously he is hinting at the possibility of Edmonton. Staples poured cold water on that idea saying Edmonton wouldn’t have the assets - Stauffer countered with a lot depends on the player.

Anyways- thought I’d throw this out there. A whole lot of nothing- but fun to dream about

That’d be wilddddd. All this time Knob was running McDrai so he could ready the world for Nugentanen.

I don't think they'd get away with that now.

From the CBA: "The Commissioner may take whatever steps he deems necessary to investigate the circumstances under which a Player is Loaned on a Conditioning Loan. If the Commissioner has reason to believe or determines that the Club has used the Conditioning Loan to evade Waivers, or otherwise Circumvent any provision of this Agreement, he may take such disciplinary action against the Club, as he deems appropriate."

I think it'd be pretty tough to argue that it wouldn't only be done to evade waivers.

They spoke about this on the Got Yer Back podcast. He can be sent down. They aren't trying to avoid waivers and easily have a case- guy missed a year of hockey and is still working his way back in shape. He'll be back up when the season resumes

It would be. It'll never happen. Bob likes to throw this stuff at times. You could give it a listen. It's on the segment with Staples today

Jamie Oleksiak's name doesn't come up much but I wonder if it should.

Wouldn't Soucy be cheaper both in terms of cost and AAV?

Interesting to think about but has a team ever traded a top player a month after trading for him?

Stauffer is always teasing crap haha

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Watching the CGY-COL game. Pretty nuts that COL has used 6 goalies this year in total.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Rantanen is really struggling in Carolina

 

[Oilers88]

Rantanen is really struggling in Carolina

That's because in his heart he's already an Oiler

You'd have a really tough time with that arguement after he's already played NHL games.

Did Boob Stauffer say anything on Oilers Now of interest other than the Rantanen thing?

 

[guymez]

A better thread to put this in...

I admire their aggression in addressing issues

But imo they are too aggressive. Lots of chaos there

For example I loved the Blackwood trade, but not the Blackwood signing.

Maybe they'll be vindicated about the Rantanen deal but that's almost reckless

Rantanen playing his way to a trade to the Oilers at the deadline

You absolutely wouldn’t. The NHL would have no case since the player would have a) agreed to go down b) the player says he wants extra reps c) he doesn’t miss any NHL games. It’s also a 2 week break. It would be a non-issue and this isn’t cap circumvention or trying to get rid of a salary. It would be a non-issue.
