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

[WaitingForUser]

No problem!

The name I've heard talked about is Tom Wilson. no idea what the structure of such a deal would look like, but from what I understand both guys would be open to the move.

That would be a bad move Kane is already bad enough when it comes to the league looking for any excuse to penalize him. I could only imagine a guy with Wilson’s history. First questionable hit he would be gone 30 games

 

[McDNicks17]

Pageau kind of fits the rumour.

I wouldn't mind him in a swap. He'd be a really solid #3C if Henrique has priced himself out.

Love the player but hate the contract. If they’d retain like 2.5 mil it wouldn’t be so bad. But man we could use him.

If that's who it is, they'd better retain. He may become a fan favourite here. IF this is true

Tampa is ruthless...

Stamkos going to UFA


Though.. in reality.. Stamkos gave up money and he won the cup twice. Tampa doesn't really owe him anything. He won.

Is he okey as shootgun to Draisaitl?

 

[WaitingForUser]

Has anyone heard anything on Nichuskin? He is what this team needs. Skill and toughness. We cannot lose Kane and replace him with someone soft.

He bailed on the Avs two years in a row because he could keep off the powder. Stay away

 

[Cloned]

If I had to guess…

Kane for Jensen and Protas

 

[McDNicks17]

Wilson's contract is pretty terrifying.

$6.5M until he's 37 and completely buyout proof.

 

[Tarus]

Wilson? really?

The Oilers were interested in him a couple of years ago when he was due to be a UFA, but then he signed that massive contract that'll pay him 6.5 mill until he's 36/37. Seems like a really bad bet to take that on right as he's about to move into aging power forward territory with so much term left.

Oilers have proven they fix players with substance abuse problems. Look at what they did with Kassian.

 

[Shizuka]

Whoa... isn't he in their leadership group? Well dang, thanks man great to have even more clarity from you. That's an interesting name.

True but we are talking about a guy who twice bailed on a potential Stanley cup contending team in the middle of an important run. Kassian did his dumb shit in the summer at least

 

[sepHF]

Nichushkin has a 6 month ban

I'd like to keep Kane tbh. Wrist issues behind him and he'll get hernia surgery, we havent seen him fully healthy in two years and he's still been productive

 

[Hollywood55]

Tom Wilson would be horrible in the playoffs. Imagine the penalties.

 

[Vagabond]

Bro that 3rd line is so slow. Hell no

A healthy Kane will go a long way. A motivated Kostin will go a long way. The 2-way center Rico will go a long way.

Don't judge until you watch them in action. I'd rather have a slower paced line that's in your face/cycle line than a speedy Sissy half Pejorative Slured perimeter players that are afraid to hit or too stupid to make smart plays. They all can potentially score 20 as well.

 

[FlameChampion]

Can we just do Nurse for Laine? as a base

 

[WaitingForUser]

Tom Wilson would be horrible in the playoffs. Imagine the penalties.

And suspension history on a darling team like the caps compared to a team like the Oilers that always gets the shaft. Stay away

 

[Shizuka]

I kind of get the sense Kane wasn't happy with his diminishing role, being relegated to bottom 6 duty, and not having a prominent spot on the PP. But I'm also not that keen on Wilson if the rumours hold, because he is a similar type of player except a) less productive and b) slower. Maybe he fights more, which won't help in playoffs. Might help protect the stars a bit better but again, that won't stop guys from running them in the playoffs. Not sure that kind of move helps.

Still interesting and nice to hear from someone who has some sort of ear into front office like that. Big thanks to ChaoticOrange again.

 

[TheNumber4]

Lots and lots of rumblings out there that Kane is gone by Monday.

Inside rumours!? No realtor sources?!

Kane gone?! Brown for 2 years?! Drai is back?!

Give me MOAR!!

 

[FlameChampion]

Jason Gregor says Jack Campbell will be bought out tomorrow.

Let's not forget that this is the guy who also said Ceci is better than Tanev lol but it could make sense. If Campbell isn't moved by tonight, they're going to have to use plan B

I mean we are all expecting it but still would prefer some kind of trade honestly. But I am probably in dream world. This team has so much dead cap. We are going to have a junk bottom 6 again and probably trade a first for TDL pick up once again.

 

[dem]

I would not be very happy if we traded for Tom Wilson.

That contract is INSANE. Lucic part 2.

 

[FlameChampion]

I don’t mind trading Kane if we’re getting some cap space and if were using the cap space smartly.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Whoa... isn't he in their leadership group? Well dang, thanks man great to have even more clarity from you. That's an interesting name.

He is, but they're really invested in shaking things up.

From the Oilers side. McD and Drai still really want a big physical top 6 presence.

 

[oXo Cube]

I'd like to move on from Kane if he's truly willing to waive. I'd really rather not move him for a guy is signed 4 years longer, making more money, and seemingly breaking down comparably fast.

If the out is Tom Wilson just ride it out with Evander.

 

[TheNumber4]

If Kane really is getting traded I would think signing DeBrusk is basically a lock. He and his wife are from here and spend their summers here. His wife actually recently graduated as a doctor from the University of Alberta. Obviously his dad still lives here as well.

Interesting. Didn’t realize Jake was such an Edmontonian. Thought the Oilers connect was just cause of his Dad.
