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

[soothsayer]

Right after Theodore banged his wrist.

I've come around to the argument that Vegas doesn't have the assets anymore to effect their usual plan, which has probably finally caught up to them. I know people say they will always find away, but I don't think so this year. They simply don't have the trade chips to bring in a big-name player in what's going to be a competitive trade market. Is their 2027 1st and Zach Whitecloud really going to beat out a package from Edmonton or LA or Dallas for the player they're all after?

I think they're actually screwed here, and that makes me happy to think about.

sure but is a random February game, not exactly Game 1 of the playoffs

Also fair, I've just missed Leon a bit.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Vejmelka to Edmonton would be pretty sweet. I know nothing about the guy, do we know what the rough asking price would be? what would it cost to extend him?

Ingram got injured in the last game before the break and it sounds like he is not ready to go

I mean that's obvious, but it's that time of year, and Vejmelka would really fit nice for the Oilers.

Frank also said the their was a team willing to take Yamamoto for free, which wasn't the case. Our guy on the other hand, Gazzola(Speedy Turtle) refuted such and was correct in the end.

 

[CupofOil]

Agree
Can't believe how invested I am in this - what I thought was a garbage all star - tourny

Tournament has been great, hockey players in particular have a lot of pride in wearing their home country's jersey so it shouldn't be surprising that they're going all out. I was skeptical of this tournament thinking it would be a severely watered down Olympics but the players are really invested as if it was a Cup finals, been a fun watch.

If it were the Olympics wouldnt there would be suspensions for fighting?

To be fair, I'd be gloating pretty hard too if Canada won that game.

that would be very albertan of you

Do you mean how Detroit acquire him and the rights to Klim Kostin for futures? So the rights to Kostin was the "expensive" add? Because that looks like free to me.

Didn’t we drop yams for free?

I mean unless we're counting Detroit not returning the Futures as a loss lol.

wasnt it? detroit took him for nothing and then bought him out.

The point is Frank framed Yamamoto's value as neutral, which was wrong since he was immediately bought out and an asset was required to move him.

Detroit wanted Kostin and took on and bought out Yamamoto to get Klim. We would've gotten something of value for Kostin had we not had to throw Yamamoto into the deal to shed cap.

 

[Biltmore]

Please no more drafting pint-sized twerps pretending to be able to play against adults.

 

[oXo Cube]

Holland successfully dumping Kostin on someone else was also a big win.

*ducks*

I guess we should draft big guys like Jesse Puljujarvi and Magnus Paajarvi?

Holloway and Broberg weren't exactly well received here and a big reason why we fired Tyler Wright.

Ironically Bourgault was the consensus BPA and he didn't pan out either.

This is why you pay your scouts to see what the casual fan doesn't see.

Kostin filled a role on the team, what did Yamamoto do for his contract?

What DO our scouts see, exactly? Because they've been awful for a very long time. At least we've moved out of the "Draft coke machines from the Oil Kings" era.

Neither one filled a role on the team that has any actual value.

Getting away from both of those players without taking on extra cap hit was a winning move. An underrated one on Holland's resume, even,

Neither did, it's why neither are here.

Truth, I look forward to our 4 hit games in the playoffs when other teams are hammering and injuring our top players.

Kostin was perfectly fine until he priced himself out of here.

 

[Arpeggio]

Yamo did score 20 here, that's filling a role I'd say. Neither player has done anything since leaving, and Yamo scored 20 when he was making just over a million.

Neither player ended up being worth their contract once they got raises.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I mean that, and he wasn't that good at all around hockey. I love Kostin too, but the team is much better with more well rounded players.

Like Corey Perry in the same role as Kostin is LIGHTYEARS better and team is MUCH better for it.
