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

Nurse is less of a problem if he's given an appropriate D partner (good passing puck mover). Ceci is ass.

lol man Sergachev is definitely up to their level.

You think Jeannot is Nuge level or Sergachev is Ekholm level? For real?

I agree. The problem is next year when Bouchard is up and he gets the rumoured 10M. You can’t have him and Nurse - one of them has to go especially if you want to sign McD and Drai.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I should've been more specific. Good players who are overpaid lol

Nuge and Ekholm aren't that.

Nurse is problem and they should try very hard to move on from him

You think Ekholm is overpaid? Like? How

COME ON EDMONTON! MOAR RUMORS, TRADES, SIGNINGS!

View attachment 889434

Was hoping we would see more action from Jackson but not looking likely.

Think we’re just going to see a Campbell buyout, Brown and Janmark resigned. Henrique, Foegele and Desharnais gone.

Will use remaining cap on a winger for Draisaitl and we won’t have a 3C again (because McLeod doesn’t cut it). No significant changes to the defense.

Hopefully just impatience on my part,

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Nurse is a problem that can be mitigated and he's likely not being moved. He played well with Barrie because Barrie can actually move a puck.

I think it’s time to move Nuge down to third line centre. That was the vision when Draisaitl and McDavid were drafted. Not sure why 4 coaches now refuse to do that. You have your pairs up front

McD- Hyman
Drai- UFA
Janmark-Nuge-Brown

Fans in Arizona are sitting around like

The problem isn’t Nurse- it’s that contract and roadblocks it causes.

Dump some cap already. Other teams are.

Ceci was better away from Nurse than the other way around

Ceci was also better in these playoffs as a whole

You can also face reality and realize that mitigation of a player like that won't help. Try very hard to move on, because it's best for everyone

Yeah honestly it’s brutal.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Yeah, he's not going to get moved so the only option is the deal with it by getting him a better partner. His NMC is full until 2027.

You can also face reality and realize that mitigation of a player like that won't help. Try very hard to move on, because it's best for everyone

The reality is they aren't going to move a 9.5m dman on a down season with a full NMC. That's the reality and anything else is pure fantasy.

 

[Senor Catface]

That’s the same expression Oilers fans have because we have been told it’s too hard to do

Yes totally the same

 

[Oilhawks]

Thought Ceci or someone might go to clear cap, and the draft is a good time to do it. So maybe not?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Would have really liked to trade for Marino there. Low cost, cheap contract.

 

[McTonyBrar]

No Campbell on waivers. Still trying to trade him

So is Trouba, and according to you, Sergachev. If they can be moved so can Nurse

Then you be GM and do the move. The slot is open.

Nuge and Ekholm aren't that.


Nurse is problem and they should try very hard to move on from him

And what if McDavid and Leon don't want him moved? See the problem lol?

 

[TheNumber4]

Ceci was better away from Nurse than the other way around

Yeh I would agree with this.

But if Nurse remains impossible to move. We are left with finding a partner that can make him better.

McDavid and Leon aren’t management.

Another year of teams making moves around us to clear cap and us just sitting on our hands saying "nothing we can do!!!1111!1"

At least this year our excuse is we don’t have aGM right now and the dude in charge is an agent.

We are like 4 days into the off season…

Holy heck Utah just massively upgraded their D in the span of 15 minutes lol

Sorcery. I was lead to believe that is just not possible. Trading is hard.
