Rumor: Rumors & Trade Proposals Thread | Post Mortem '23-24 Season: Who Should Stay, Who Should Go & Who Should We Bring In?

[WaitingForUser]

Reminds me of the Hawks just ending the whole Kane/Toews era on a whimper too. American teams just don’t give a shit about legacy. When McDrai win here, they can stay for as long as they want and go into management.

Yeah you never see teams do that very often at all usually the legacy guys are always kept around if for nothing else than succession.

If Stamkos is leaving Tampa Bay it's because he's trying to take advantage of his last real opportunity to sign a big time contract.

But if I recall his last negotiation there seemed similarly rocky on the surface and then they got it done in the dying hours.

I am going to mis Cap Friendly..

11,000,000 contract take home in Toronto $5,139, 242
9,000,000 contract take home in Tampa 5,,487,074

That's actually crazy.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I mean last year he only got to play behind Woody's failed zone defense, same as Skinner who put up even worse numbers.

It's not unthinkable that Campbell could provide quality backup tending for the time being.

Man Campbell is done.

Let’s call it a 20% advantage. So the Oilers faced an effective 110M roster in the finals

This is from yesterday. Dear God I hope this is not true.

If true I totally called that Jake would rather not play for his hometown team and would pull a Boumesiter and go to Calgary.

So I guess so far we are only linked to Debrusk, Hayden Fleury and Pheonix Copley?

Seravalli linked us to Arvidsson last week. Apparently we're keeping tabs on him

6 mil for Debrusk? I hope it IS true.

Sure do that but who’s Leon’s winger? I’m sorry but you can’t go to next season without a good scoring winger for Leon.

We have 3 top 6 wingers in RNH, Hyman and Kane. Younger guys like Holloway and Lavoie should get some looks in the top 6 and as I mentioned they can look into other guys who might come cheaper for a chance to play in our top 6, maybe guys like Arvidsson, Olafsson, Toffoli, Mantha, Barabanov, Duclair. There’s quite a few of those mid range options I’m sure one out there would take a haircut to come here for a chance to win a cup, rebuild value or both.

If Connor and Leon are two of the best in the world and they already have guys like Nuge, Hyman, Kane as options then that group should be able to elevate one or two younger players or mid range FA middle 6 kind of guy. If two guys are eating up 21M of the cap then I think it’s a reasonable expectation that they both shouldnt need to be flanked on both sides by 5M+ wingers.

$6M for Jake? I’m good.

That’s an oversimplification based on marginal tax rates. Corporations, which hockey players are, pay far less tax than you and I. Further, there are tax shelters, deferred tax, etc. the difference isn’t what people make out to be.

DeBrusk is an idiot if he'd rather sign with a team that's starting their rebuild over a team like the Oilers who are a cup contending team and would allow him to play with McDavid and/or Draisaitl. Make the right move, Jake.

 

[Cloned]

Apparently Stamkos’ ES metrics have cratered and he’s a PP guy now only.

 

[McTonyBrar]

8th best sv% in the AHL is not an ECHL player.

He's over 30 years old and he's played in the NHL yet you are using AHL stats to back up your stance of him getting another chance?

Lol what do you mean? that would be hilarious. A classic Flames move.

Debrusk is at this best during the playoffs so Calgary will never see that version of him during his contract.

If the Flames organization spent half as much energy improving their team as they do undermining the Oilers attempts to improve themselves, they would be a dynasty.

Why do people want him so badly? Boston wants nothing to do with him.

 

[FlameChampion]

Stamkos probably going to sign for cheap with Florida just to irk Brisebois

Why do people want him so badly? Boston wants nothing to do with him.

Hes a good playoff performer to my eye. I’d like him if it started with a 4. But it probably isn’t so whatever.

I’m using AHL stats to back up my stance that he’s not an ECHL player.

Why would he want to go suck and be depressed on a rebuilding team?

How is that working out for Tavaras at the moment

He’s regressed for sure.

I'm a Debrusk homer lol. I want him here

Lol. This totally smells of another little bro move.
