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

[TheNumber4]

Knob was elusive during his presser about Mcdavid's health and mentioned he'll be talking to the medical staff further. McD was definitely dealing with something but thankfully not surgery and probably just rehab.

Yeh I found it odd he was elusive about McD but then immediately after pretty forthcoming regarding Drai. Could be read a couple different ways.

The impression I got from Jeff Jackson's interview was that he wants to stand pat. He clearly stated he won't be aggressive at the Free Agency. He wants to keep the same team together. He named McLeod as one of the players that made strides.. good gawd.

Hopefully he's just being nonchalant about everything because I know personally that I'd like to see at least 1 big UFA signing and a few trades.

Time will tell.

Edit:

I did however like how he addressed McDavid and Draisaitl. I feel confident in that regard.

Yea pretty weird comments. McLeod regressed in both the regular season and playoffs ppg while playing with better linemates.

We must remember it is in Jackson's nature to sell a product. That was his entire job, maximizing profits by selling his players to other general managers. We will see what he has up his sleeve but I pray he doesn't actually believe what he said about McLeod.

San Jose moved up in the draft.

They now have the 1st pick and the 11th pick in the 1st round in a very deep draft. Not a bad move at all. They must have thier sights on someone.

It will be interesting if Calgary drafts Tij Iginla.

I’m pretty sure Mcdavid isn’t human. He didn’t even get surgery to repair a torn PCL so an abdominal tear is nothing.

He’s just trying to up the trade interest.

The last GM who came out and said he’s going to make bold moves and played his hand was MacT. How’d that go? lol

Yes FA believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Pretty good price.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

The destruction of Calgary continues.

If they didn’t retain that’s excellent for them. Actually getting a decent return for an overpaid, undersized, middle 6 winger.

Cap dump. And they got value. WTF is Washington doing. First PLD and now this.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Someone threw around McLeod as a sweetener to offload Campbell? I do that alllll day and then use some money to bring back Henrique

 

[Nunymare]

Friedman says on Oilers Now that we prefer to trade Campbell if possible.

Also says that he thinks the new GM will be someone who's been around for a while or has been a GM before.

Got home and that was on. 100% cringe moment.

I’m sure Flame fans will be planning the parade around the amazing cap space this opens up, but in reality it’s a way for their cheap ass owner to put $5M in his pocket.

There is no way they’re anywhere near the cap next year, this is an owner appeasing move.

 

[Paralyzer]

I don't know what Washington is doing, as well as Calgary for that matter. I'm waiting to hear Calgary retained on Mangipane for that 2nd LOL.

Also Washington is OVER the cap already and still need to fill the roster out. This is kinda mind-boggling.

That turned into giving away our our only experienced Center for Philip Larson and a 6th rd pick.

Seems impossible in the offseason. Unless taking bad cap back. Ala Kuemper for PLD.

Experienced GM? Yeh? Odd. Seemed like a fresh face was in the cards.

Saying goodbye to Draisaitl is saying goodbye to McDavid. Saying goodbye to those two is saying goodbye to respectability and hello to decade of darkness 2.0.

I'm not going to watch that bullshit again.

Obviously you're upset over the Leafs lack of success in the playoffs. Cheer up buddy. Anything is possible.

I’m as much of a leafs fans as you are an Oilers fan…now go back to CP. it was really nice when you were MIA throughout the playoffs.

Crazy that the Mods here haven’t booted this obvious Flames troll yet.

I think they don’t want to give any other teams anything to target on McDavid, where as Drai’s injuries were already known.

Agreed.

 

[guymez]

He also had Barrie Ceci and Hyman all praising him from their time in Toronto. Sometimes you get bad or influenced info

Yes but ultimately its Hollands responsibility to do the necessary due diligence.

Shouldn't you be desperately trying to trade Marner or sucking up to Berube?
