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

If anything, trading Barrie away is the callsign that Bouchard isn't going anywhere.

He would have just gone for Ekholm if management considered him expendable.

 

[OILFAN FOREVER]

I still think Bjugstad will be an Oiler by Friday. Would be great if it was Chychrun and Bjugstad.

 

[WEMCHUD]

Would Oilers be looking at Bjugstad or Eller for 3C options?

gazolla mentioned that the oilers are interested in Bjugstad on 1260

 

[CycloneSweep]

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

I just don't really know who that could be honestly.

 

[gordonhught]

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

Eller is the goof who said that playing the Oilers was like playing a junior team (a few years back). He can go take a long walk off a short pier.

do campbell, ceci, yam, bourgeault, lavoie, 1st, 2nd for karlsson 2 mill retained and reimer

 

[Canovin]

Provorov is available. The Oilers should be all over that.

Agreed. The only exception would be if they were bringing in Karlsson. But yeah lol

I'd fund a Ken Holland statue outside Rogers Place if he's able to even trade for Chychrun at this stage.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

He is still on MTL isn’t he?

I am going crazy. I thought he was on STL lol

 

[The Safe Play]

There's other forwards I prefer more than Eller. Provorov looks overpaid and doesn't seem to bring anything we don't really already have. Sanheim is the defensive stud on that team.

 

[McDNicks17]

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.

Second pairing would be a huge jump for Broberg.

He's playing 12% of his ice time against elites right now. That's extremely sheltered even for a third pairing guy.

Relying on him to play there, especially in a playoff run, seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

I just don't really know who that could be honestly.

Im thinking of a larson style dman

 

[McOvechking]

Don’t see the appeal with Bjugstad to be honest. Sure he’s better than a guy like Shore but I’d like a better addition than him to our bottom 6

 

[Drivesaitl]

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.


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.

Just last week I was pointing out that over last several years, or even time in Edmonton Barrie was a topten in whole league production D at Evens. The numbers don't really lie. For instance over last 7-8 seasons, thru prime, Barrie has been 7th most productive D on PP, 9th EV, no slouch in either endeavor.

 

[Canovin]

I don't know how safe Bouchard is, as he's pretty slow. Look at our D. Nurse, Ceci, Ekholm, Broberg, Desharnais, Kulak are below average skaters.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why do Avs fans snoop my posts?

Do I need to mention the beast's name again?

Anyway, keep going Holland.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Im thinking of a larson style dman

I know the style of dman, I just don't even know who is out there who would be available.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Paryko but people think he is done so

He was right.

 

[McTonyBrar]

My source said these names, but remember he may be wrong, Sam Bennett and Radko Gudas

 

[DaGap]

I know the style of dman, I just don't even know who is out there who would be available.

Paryko but people think he is done so

It will be interesting this offseason

Nurse and Broberg are excellent skaters what are you smoking?

Avs getting Eller is a good thing. Bennett is available. Oilers should be all over that too

I missed this.....your source said Bennett to the Oilers?
