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

McD and Hyman should put their recruiting hats on and call Stamkos.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Iam sure the team is sick of the drama around his ex as well.

Now we know they are both on the block. Pretty standard media tactics to start preparing a fanbase for a player exit, start dragging them a week before they're dumped

The bolts only would go as high as 3 x 8 years. The loyalty to their long time captain is absolutely ruthless

Anyone good left?

!!!? yeh?

yep. it happened. weird

for our '25 or '26 1st rounder

 

[ThePhoenixx]

So will probably cost a couple 2nds and maybe a 3rd to dump Campbell?

Do it.

Crazy. Now we can all flip out.

(i was happy to see it though, not knowing anything about this O Reilly kid)

Seems weird to move up with a future pick when we have cap space to clear and playoffs to load up for..

Someone must really like the kid

JJ said our staff had him ranked higher than 32. So yeh they think they are getting a steal here.

I think we got a good pick.

Missed opportunity to call the Flames Uranus

DAMNIT!!

 

[Old Boys Club]

BEtter be some tweaks to the main roster coming on/before monday. Not sure I could stomach more Nurse-Ceci.

Some people really love this guy and expect him to break out next year.

I was just thinking this while taking my dog for a late night walk and it's a wild theory but here me out.

My theory is that the Oilers traded for this pick because they won't be picking in the 2nd round tomorrow and wanted to get something out of this draft in the high rounds and they took O'Rielly to be a long term McLeod replacement and will use the extra cap space to bring in a stopgap 3rd liner to replace McLeod until O'Reilly is ready. 2nd+McLeod+maybe some other stuff+Campbell to somebody, San Jose, Chicago I don't know. Obviously a complete shot in the dark but bookmark this post if something like this happens. Stauffer with his crypticness and this trade has me really thinking crazy shit that something is cooking.

Interesting thought trade the second because you basically just made a second round pick to shed some cap and sign a ufa. Thats forward thinking GM stuff if that’s what it turns out to be.

lol- i had the same thought the same thing. Not the same pieces, but getting a pick because they are moving out picks to sweeten the pot for incoming trades

I don’t know if posted- but Campbell can only be bought out this window. A second window does not open for a Campbell buyout because he was not a roster player at the deadline. Just passing on the info. I personally hate buy outs

That would be a heck of a long game for a team with a short window.

History suggests late 1st rounders won't be ready for NHL for 3+ years, meanwhile we're a contending team in a window that has Draisaitl signed for one more year and McDavid signed for 2.

Spending assets beyond that in which we could be weaponizing to go all-in during this window isn't something I would do personally, but hell, I'm not the one in charge. That '25 or '26 1st we're giving up is a Draisaitl winger/top-4 dman we could have acquired for another cup run.

I’m not sure about the Campbell part of it, but the idea of moving out McLeod in order to free up cap space to keep Henrique around is intriguing now that I’ve thought of it. There’s definitely the possibility that they could see O’Reilly as a replacement for what they’re hoping McLeod will become, and if you keep Henrique around it keeps the current team better. Plus you could break in O’Reilly on Henrique’s wing to have him act directly as a mentor to what you’re hoping him to be. There’s definite risk in it, but the payoff is there.

 

[Cloned]

Conspiracy theory time:

Oilers were OK trading away their first next season because they are expecting to get a first back in another trade within the next few days.

 

[Hollywood55]

I doubt Stamkos moves to the west but imagine Stamkos on Draisaitl's wing

That’s the money shot right there. He’s older so won’t be able to handle 1st line anymore so Leon finally gets his sniper winger

 

[oobga]

Just listened to Gregor talk about how Kane came into camp out of shape last year.

Would bet your chance of a sports hernia is much higher if you are not in shape playing NHL hockey lol.

And the surgery and rehab mid-season would have had the team on his arse constantly to get in great shape for playoffs. Certainly would be easier to just ride it out and wait until summer to handle surgery and fitness himself.

If we do dump him, maybe the Oilers will leak the story of what the heck happened this year. Would be the 3rd team this guy burned after getting a long term deal.

Actually doesnt sound that crazy.
I fully expect them to be trading Campbell and obviuosly some sweeteners have to go the other way.
I think that McLeod would be a tantilizing player simply due to his speed and his ability to PK.
Would it be enough to take Campbell...it could be.
Obviously the deal would have to be done with a rebuilding team that has plenty of cap space.
One thing we know for sure about McLeod...Knoblauch saw him good this season so he knows very well what he is giving up.
