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

[Faelko]

It's just really redundant with the forwards they already have. Another skilled oriented winger that is small? Maybe if they didn't sign both Jeff Skinner and Arvdisson it would work.

He very likely takes Skinners spot next season and I doubt he gets more than a cup of coffee this year.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I wonder who he ends up playing with. His favorite player growing up was Nuge, so I think it would be pretty cool to have them play together. Maybe something like this:

Arvidsson - McDavid - Hyman
Skinner - Drai - Podkolzin
Janmark - Nuge - Savoie
Perry - Henrique - Brown

I would start him with Henrique and Perry, the line could use a speed & skill infusion, it gives him 2 good mentors and 2 people he can feed that are legitimate scoring threats, plus they have some size to give him a little more room out there.

Those small guys we haven't aren't as fast or skilled as Savoie. Nor are they as good defensively

@Jimmi McJenkins What’s funny?

Man this is the softest team in the NHL. No thank you.

 

[McDrai]

Excited to see Savoie get a chance (hopefully in the top 9 instead of just a few minutes). Would be nice to see what we have in the org before trading assets at the deadline.

Lol you know, Janmark and LW1 are not doable things lol

I mean no, but I guess a coke machine could help lol

Oh I thought you meant healthy scratch for Savoie for some reason.

I often wonder if the HF board was up and running in the 80s who would be the whipping boy on the oilers

Coffey is the obvious slam dunk answer.

Easily, Paul Coffey lol

We called up Savoie to bring some energy and speed into the lineup.

Not sure what your beef is, unless you think don't need help in that area as well?

I am not at all against giving Savoie a shot, but it could get tricky. If he plays well for a few weeks that shouldn't mean we don't go trade our assets for an upgrade.

This could be like the Klingberg signing where if Savoie plays well we don't end up adding a top 6.

Anyways it's nice to see different players getting a shot under this new management.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I realized that after, yes he could be, but I was saying start Savoie on LW with McDavid and Hyman, and swap him if he has some struggles.

Fuhr

 

[FlameChampion]

Funny thing with Savoie is that during training camp I was more impressed with his play away from the puck. Created some turnovers.

I was a bit disappointed with his skill/speed. I honestly was expecting more. Interesting though that he won the fastest skater in AHL.

Hopefully he gets a few games.

 

[McDoused]

I find Canuck fans so insufferable.

Their management group signs M. Petterson to a long term deal and O’Connor to deals which is fine. But they act like they know everything about the players after seeing them play for a couple games lol. Allvin and Rutherford are all seeing and all knowing. Well until they aren’t.

Blind believers living in their own little world.

I'm fighting the good fight on the mains. It's hilarious that they were upset for overpaying guys like Desharnais and Heinen. They had to pay to dump them. Then they go ahead and sign Drew O'Connor for 2.5M.

One of them is coaching for the Oilers right now. I'll let people guess who I am referring to!

Fuhr.
He often was back in the day. He even had a very public spat with the fans.

 

[Fourier]

anderson

Actually, I think this community would have loved Anderson. He was kind of an enigma but he played hard and was not a guy who made a lot of obvious mistakes.

Coffey was the main guy who took heat from the fans. Messier often took heat from Sather. Lumley before Gretzky turned him around would have been run out of town.

Haha yeah. I made a joke on there that DoC is basically Heinen v2.0 who they just traded.

With respect to Holloway, Savoie is much more skilled

That remains to be seen at the NHL level.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Fair, he as a prospect, is far more skilled.



Podkolzin is a beast. Damn man. lol
