Rumor: Rumors & Trade Proposals Thread | How About the RW Kenny?

[McTonyBrar]

From Frank's DFO show today.

Seravalli called Ekholm this week before my source told me it was happening so hopefully he's right about Yam. I want to keep Foegele

 

[Old Boys Club]

TVR and Sheary from Washington would be great adds, could fit with 21 man roster if you waive Broberg & Shore and get 50% retention on Sheary

 

[Drivesaitl]

Its just my lot in life that Yams is still here. Woe is me.

Some of y'all fooled me yesterday with false expectation and trade announcements. I was ready to drive to the airport. heh

 

[McTonyBrar]

Get eyes on Gudas' results against elites. That's why he's the guy I want.

I also think it's telling that Nurse's numbers spike away from Ceci.

Gudas is not a good passer. We need a passer

 

[McOvechking]

Do we upgrade Kulak by doing something like Kulak + Yamamoto + 1st for Provorov?

 

[Jet Walters]

We could fit in Dumba and Gaudreau (RHC) both 50% retained for Yamo, Shore, plus picks. Guerin has been doing some weird stuff this deadline, so maybe he’d sell off his pending UFA’s for some decent picks. Does Dumba still play decent? I haven’t watched the Wild much.



Nurse Dumba
Ekholm Ceci
Kulak Bouchard
Broberg Desharnais

What kind of results has Gudas ever had in playoffs?

I'd rather say no on the idiot.

Oh PLEASE!!!!!

ps I don't think we have a first left. Gonna have to add some chopped cabbage. Pickled.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

Random thought. I still thought Hoffman was on MTL lol. He has been such a whatever player now to me.

Nah, myself and others had Barries back his whole time here. Similarly he had a lot of detractors here. Kind of the way it usually is here.

Barrie is an elite production D. One of the best in the world. I was reasserting just that point a week ago, and two weeks ago, and..

Barrie has elite production on the PP only. 5v5 he isn't even the best on the team over the past 3 years.
Over the past 3 years Nurse is 14th in the league for 5v5 points with 66, Barrie is 38th with 53. He is definitely strong 5v5 for sure. Bouchard ranks 53rd in the league with 49, only 4 less than Barrie but also has 34 less games played.
So we at least have Bouchard that if he gets his development back on track (he should, imo its only a slump) we should be okay.
Barries PP numbers are elite and I am curious if anyone can fill that although, our PP numbers the past few years haven't really changed much with or without him so there is hope there.

Do we upgrade Kulak by doing something like Kulak + Yamamoto + 1st for Provorov?

The issues with this is...Nurse doesn't play right, Provorov doesn't play right Ekholm has played right but it didn't go the best and is much better on his left. I love the idea of upgrading Kulak or Ceci but we need a guy who can legit play right d.

[OfCorsiDid]

Okay, then what available right shot d is Bouchard getting traded for?

Don’t expect a real answer. The thought process over there is “I don’t like this guy so let’s trade him. For what? I don’t know, but just trade him.”

 

[Paralyzer]

Ellers is off the table now

 

[Old Boys Club]

All of TVR, Sheary (50%), Bertuzzi (50%) can fit if you move Yamamoto and waive Broberg & Shore. Not sure what the cost would be but those would be great adds. RW for McDavid, Winger for the bottom 6 that can play up in a pinch and a vet middle/bottom pairing guy.

 

[DaGap]

Unfortunately, there really isn't any good right shot d available. Ceci is better than Klingberg, Ghost can play right side but not well and not defensively. Chychrun is good but plays left, Provorov absolutely doesn't play right.

Looking at guys that are really available (Not Karlsson) and compared to Ceci....there isn't really an upgrade for right D.

Yeah im thinking more this offseason

 

[McAsuno]

Seravalli called Ekholm this week before my source told me it was happening so hopefully he's right about Yam. I want to keep Foegele

I'm more inclined to keep Foegele since Yams injuries worry me as a long term NHL player.
Can't wait to see what Kenny cooks.

 

[WaitingForUser]

We will bring in another veteran RD. Bouchard isn't in the Oilers future.

Unless his name is EK65 I don’t see that happening. They need a coat controlled RS D man to man the PP and play second pair minutes. Like it or not that Bouchard now.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Damn I really wanted Eller, great bottom 6 playoff player with experience.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Don’t expect a real answer. The thought process over there is “I don’t like this guy so let’s trade him. For what? I don’t know, but just trade him.”

We can't add any more left d and if we are moving Bouchard for a defender a guy who "can kind of play right side" isn't really an option lol.

Yeah im thinking more this offseason

For sure, sky is the limit there. Although I think by the end of the season, Bouchard gets himself back up into the top 4.

Frank is the man!

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Damn, that's a good get for the west faves.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oh gee. Wheres the pic of Quick killing Kings Wins all season? Imagine having a losing record in town and your understudy who wasn't even in the league has barnstormed an 18-4-2 record playing on the same team.

Picture should be an over roasted or under roasted Quick turkey with a big fork stuck in. Probably get salmonella touching it.

 

[Spawn]

Random thought. I still thought Hoffman was on MTL lol. He has been such a whatever player now to me.

He is still on MTL isn’t he?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I don't think you necessarily have to upgrade on Ceci. You're mainly looking to keep Bouchard on the third pair and give Ekholm a partner that can handle tough minutes with him.

Ghost, Holl, Gudas, etc. would work.

Maybe TVR? He's cheap and having a good year.

I think you're more likely to see Broberg there, vs. the Oil going for more outside help.

Nurse-Ceci/Bouchard
Broberg-Ekholm
Kulak-Ceci/Bouchard

Niemo,Vinny
Murray, Demers

That's likely the defence they're going to likely roll with. Maybe you'll see Holland target someone like Holden as another spare body, but I think the top 6 is set.

Im mainly targeting a Dman that can be the defensive brain with nurse
