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

[CupofOil]

Yeah well, Ken Holland told everybody that trades are hard to make and you can't squeeze other GM's.
What a f***ing fraud he was.

That's exactly what popped in my head when seeing this trade and also "Can't squeeze other GMs" after the Keith trade. He made some good moves but man was he out of touch with the salary cap world.

 

[Faelko]

Pat Verbeek is a f***in moron. Rags are lucky to have gotten rid of that cap dump trash.

Interesting how the Defenceman have moved this year. If market values are set by comps, you’d have to think our RD pick up at the TDL should be dirt cheap (but of course it won’t):

Trouba Cap Dump traded away for free
Fabbro given away for free
Walman given away with free assets on top
Ceci given away with free assets on top

Ceci doesn’t belong on your list…lol

How is Ceci in this conversation?

He wasn't given away. We got a player who could be useful for many years

Well he’s a “top 4” defenceman traded. We paid a 3rd to dump him, and the Sharks sent back a 40 game experience decent tweener.

Well, there's no reasoning with this.

I think you're inventing stuff. The Oilers did alright, the 3rd kinda sucks, but what can you do, Stan was busy.

Did my list come off as a list of fleeces for the D acquiring teams or just a gathering of D deals done this year?

I meant it as just a list to see what established Dmen cost in this League.

You forgot to mention Emberson is better at hockey than Ceci.

 

[TheNumber4]

Ahh you guys are saying Ceci had value cause we paid a 3rd and got Emberson back. Okay I guess he wasn’t “given” away. But his value was still low for a top 4 Dman that played in the Cup finals.

You forgot to mention Emberson is better at hockey than Ceci.

I don’t disagree. Mostly about even at this point but cap hits considered, we came out way ahead in a 1 for 1 swap. But we still had to pay a 3rd on top.

By tweener you mean bottom pair stud?

I mean doesn't make much sense. Ceci has been one of the worst defenders in the entire league this season and Emberson is emerging as solid 3RD.

The Oilers should have made a 1 for 1 deal earlier in the summer, because it may have been there, but they had to give up a pick because they waited and were in a bind.

Sure you can call him that. His game has come around from the start of the year. I’d say Stecher is starting to separate from him though.

And Trouba blows nuts and is overpaid by like $5m. My list wasn’t a list of stud defenceman. I thought the mix of good and bad should have shown that.

For people who wanted Shesterkin

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

For people who wanted Shesterkin

Still do, but not a surprise with Trouba's money gone.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

For people who wanted Shesterkin

Man, that AAV is just so crazy for a goalie. I know he's excellent, but goalies are so volatile. Even the best ones. I guess they really didn't have much a choice. Without him, they aren't gonna do much and NY will never fully rebuild.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Anaheim makes it easy for the Rangers. Too much money though for a goalie

 

[Shanahanigans]

Top 3 goalie in the league but man giving a goalie that kind money just scares me. They can fall off a cliff at any time.

 

[Fourier]

For people who wanted Shesterkin

That's the number I had expected. Glad he is staying out east. I did not want him going to Vegas or Colorado.

 

[McAsuno]

For people who wanted Shesterkin

season, lets ride.

Meanwhile the top 4 defenceman

 

[Captain Controversy]

Not surprising. Especially with San Jose

 

[Mr Positive]

So? Forwards and Dmen fall off too. We have Skinner and Nurse on our team, who both struggled after big deals

 

[TheNumber4]

This year and last he’s not even top 10 in GSAX.

 

[Oilhawks]

Meanwhile the top 4 defenceman

Some were convinced that the poor start was largely in part to his loss

Mr Game 7 aside, they probably win a Cup one of the last 3 years with a better RD to pair with Nurse

 

[Tarus]

So Shesterkin signs the contract he reportedly rejected back in the summer just a few hours after Trouba is dumped

This is how conspiracy theories start
