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

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'd honestly rather sign Arvidsson or DeBrusk.

I guess if there's a dramatic cost difference, but stamkos will absolutely score more than those 2

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Stamkos apparently is a disaster at even strength. Im not so sure about him now, he could play on the PP but do we even need him to? I guess he’d look great on Leon’s wing, but that line might get cratered defensively at times.

For the right price of course I’d just go for it

He's a one shot scorer, play him with Connor or Leon and a defensively responsible winger.

He's a one shot scorer, play him with Connor or Leon and a defensively responsible winger.

If he can't score at 5v5 with Kucherov and Point, he probably won't score with McDrai.

Draisaitl between Stamkos and McLeod, perfect.

What's "sG"? Looked on his site for a glossary, but I'm not seeing anything.

sG: Synthetic Goals

Visualizations and predictions for understanding hockey.

He’s a competitor too. I watched a bit of that series against Florida in the 1st round and Stamkos looked dangerous and hungry for big goals.

Skinner - Draisaitl - Stamkos

Make it happen

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If he can't score at 5v5 with Kucherov and Point, he probably won't score with McDrai.

I disagree. Kucherov is a great player but Connor is a different animal and Drai has never had the luxury of playing with a sniper like Stamkos and has a tendency of drawing players to him and then passing the puck.

 

[McDNicks17]

Skinner - Draisaitl - Stamkos

Make it happen

That line would compete for the record for goals against in a season.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Skinner - Draisaitl - Stamkos

Make it happen

So we just play with no 3rd line? Because there isn't enough cap space to sign our 3rd line

 

[Vagabond]

Draisaitl between Stamkos and McLeod, perfect.

I liked what you had to say until you mentioned McLeod. Lol

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Somebody's gonna give him way too much money.

Sounds like Nashville is hunting. I think in the $5s is the highest I would go

I liked what you had to say until you mentioned McLeod. Lol

Lol fair, but until they find someone else, he's the best option, maybe Connor Brown? Assuming he's back

 

[ThePhoenixx]

He certainly might, but there's no guarantee, the rumours are that Tampa is only offering on th $3Ms range, so it will be interesting

That's a big name and a big shot for a team who wants to sell tickets and has lots of cap space. A few oohs and aahs from the new fans. Seems like a good idea to me, but it is the NHL.

He might get a two or three year deal at that higher price unless he wants to win a few more cups. That may be his thinking. To see his options.

Perhaps a few of his buddies already headed there.

 

[Seachd]

Hyman was signed as a UFA. The Oilers wanted to trade for him so they could do an 8 year deal but Dubas wouldn't go for it. Has nothing to do with what you are saying.

It has everything to do with it. The Oilers weren’t trading for him so they could sign him to 8 years.

The plan was for the Leafs to sign him to 8 and then trade him to the Oilers.

Sure, but I'm not certain, but even in those situations he gets beyond $6M flat. He's not that young and his game is where it's at. Guentzel absolutely, Lindholm will do well, but might be tougher for Stamkos to get that much. Who knows though, we've seen some insane stuff, Kevin Hayes comes to mind lol

 

[Macheteops]

Skinner - Draisaitl - Stamkos

Make it happen

They're either scoring or getting scored on every single shift

 

[syz]

The risk that Stamkos is just going to be a PP merchant to end his career is too high. Oilers should be looking elsewhere, even though McDavid on the PP with a one-timer triangle of Stamkos, Draisaitl, Bouchard would be hilarious.

 

[Echodek]

So apart from the draft, a whole lot of nothing today?

 

[OilerTyler]

I guess if there's a dramatic cost difference, but stamkos will absolutely score more than those 2

Oh for sure but a lot of it would be on the PP where we don't really need to upgrade. The difference in even strength production isn't enough to justify the cost difference.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Guys I don’t think it’s Mark Hunter as GM. Think about it:

Yes we never draft from the OHL but this is a new head scout, Kevin Pracey. He actually drafts a lot from the OHL based on history. This was his first draft with us and he said he’s been scouting O’Reilly since his Junior B year (last year).

Plus if it was Mark Hunter, why didn’t we give him the job immediately? No I think Edmonton is doing their due diligence. This is Jeff Jackson not MacT or Tambelllini. This is going to be an important hire so I don’t think they are going to be mindless here

 

[McTonyBrar]

if we’re trying to move Campbell…. Why aren’t we hearing any noise

 

[FlameChampion]

Jackson is waiting for people to call him. If they want Campbell, they need to pony up.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Hahaha, you know why lol.

Maybe they'll be a miracle and someone will claim Campbell on waivers tomorrow lolz

Seems so, things are just quiet, which is what it is. I suspect JJ and Co are working the phones

 

[foshizzle]

Well if we did to Hughes what they did to McDavid you don't think the point gets made? It's not all about fighting. Hard clean hits and some not so clean stuff sometimes is needed to keep things from going too far.

No- I honestly don’t. It’s not that league anymore

 

[Paralyzer]

Yes, Jack Campbell is the next best thing since sliced bread rofl
