Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Y'all Got Any Good Goalies?

Fair enough, that's more what I was thinking (and the shot he's known to have) I wonder if the Flames claim him lol.

It also comes down to what else can you do to contibute. He is a big guy, if he is good defensively (He is not) and could kill penalties as a good skater, or hit something. I hope the Flames do, they would likely be worse...haha.

Minnesota’s revenge for getting curb stomped 7-1 was claiming a fringe D. Woop

I can’t wait to see how the Oilers broke that clown team just like they broke the Rags

If Bouchard is out any length of time it will get interesting.

 

[Soundwave]

In the sense of his draft position. They have tried to get him going for 5 years, and nothing has worked. Nothing here screams player.

GF%, Scoring, 7 hits in 27 games. Pretty putrid for an 11th OV pick.

Last two years it looks like the wheels have fallen off the wagon, but prior to that seemed like he had ok production.

Who in their right mind would sign Pierre fricken Engvall to a 7 year 3M AAV with a modified NTC deal?

If you got him at 50% retained he would be your perfect 4C lol

You sure he isn't related to

Wahlstrom is probably like completely busted at this point. Iffy injury history too. Never even really teared up the AHL before being thrown into the NHL.

How has the league not done anything about this? What a complete joke.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dermott claimed by the last possible team. Though seeing the Wild's left side is decimated by injuries that's not a massive surprise.

Still, once the Wild are healthy(/ier) I'd expect the Oil to get him back in January after the roster freeze.

Oilers won't take Dermott back. Kane will be back. More players will get waived

Hard to say. We have ZERO LD depth.

If they're the only ones that claim him (which is likely), he can go straight to Bakersfield. I suspect that'll be what happens in January.

 

[TB12]

Isles just waived Wahlstrom and Engvall wow. Dermott got claimed by the Wild.

Friedman is a joke. "Lotta stuff going on, not sure if anything will happen." Just repeats that shit ad nauseum 100x a year.

It's vague as hell and he's right either way. Guy is a loser gossip columnist and everyone just repeats everything he says, as useless as it is. Absolute joke of a profession.

He would look good in a bottom 6 role. Fast too. I didn't mind him in Toronto when I watched him. He got sh** on a lot.

He actually knows his stuff. Are you sure you're not talking about Dreger?

I'm scared for Bouchard's injury. Why haven't we heard anything concrete on it yet?

Nope I'm 100% sure that he is a clown and a joke. I know you hang off his every word because that interests you for some reason. Guy gives 100 rumours and maybe 1-2 are correct and actually happen. He is a tabloid-level journalist, gossip columnist. He may as well be dishing on celebrity couples. His job is a joke and I do not respect the man. Embarrassing profession.

Nothing but what Knoblauch said after the game.

I find it amusing that he said the Oilers are looking for help on both or either RHS/LHS for the blue line.

No shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[K1984]

The Mooch/Leech, Lindholm has 3 goals in 30 games for the B's. 7 years at 7.75m. LOL

Looks good on him. Hilarious that he turned down over 8.5 with CGY. I REALLY wanted CGY to sign this fake tough guy soft mooch.

Gaudreau (RIP) really elevated this guy in CGY

That was among the most telegraphed bad contracts I can ever remember.

No idea how a bunch of hockey people can sit in a room and think that deal was a good idea. A consortium of 4-5 completely random fans on this forum would probably have better judgement.

think a lot of this stuff happens out of desperation. Supply/demand. I would have never given him close to that.

I think there’s a bit of “we’re the Bruins and things always just work out for us” in that deal.

I don’t know if Lindholm at his current best is even worth $7M.

 

[CupofOil]

Sounds like Parssinen is on the outs with Trotz.
Could be a good, cheap reclamation project and replacement for Ryan.

The Oilers already have a cheap Ryan replacement in the organization on the top line in Bakersfield.

He's an excellent complimentary player, but I don't know if that's worth above what Hyman makes.
