Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread | Breaking The (Bank On) Hyman?

I mean get all of them, but I suspect only 2 of them, as the Kraken are interested in Strome.

Don’t they owe us for trading them a cup?

Not that either side will ever cop to it but I am curious why Larsson decided Seattle was a better idea than the Oilers.

4 years in Seattle gives like Larsson almost an extra full year of tax free money versus Edmonton.

I'm sure Larsson's agent pointed this out as this is his job and told him it was a significantly better deal.

watch Oilers gift the Leafs Klefbom's LTIR contract in a sign and trade for Hyman.

I’m curious how keeping Klefbom’s contract is a benefit to the Oilers or how it would help the Leafs to acquire it? I don’t understand.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Wonder if they'll do the same photo op, lol.

This is the exact image that I think of when Lucic comes up.

I'm getting that same optimistic-but-deep down-feeling-of-dread as I had then.

 

[Soundwave]

I want to see Holland and DNB get into a fist fight at some point, lol.

 

[Magnum23]

Honestly wouldn't be mad if we got Hamilton for 8. We paid Larsson, Klef, Russell almost 13 combined and they didn't make our blueline elite!

Don’t be too harsh on the guy, he literally lost sleep over yesterday.

Just got released from prison for a triple homicide. What's going on?

Speaking of homicide, many here say Holland is about to get murdered in this Hyman deal..

We offered him a 5th year. It wasn't about the money.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

For how negative you are about absolutely everything related to the Oilers I would think you would have all the answers for that.

Larsson's too good of a guy to trash the org but there has to be something more to this.

As I've explained and you ignore. It is overall less than 1mill in savings. I think it's 700k

At lower AAV. Which means Seattle's offer was still better.

DNB would get dusted based on how mousy he turned when Holland started to get a little thorny. Rishaug, on the other hand, sounded ready to step toe-to-toe with him. My respect for Rishaug grew after that presser, I gotta say.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Don't tease me

 

[dustrock]

Hamilton would be a huge move for this team, not sure I can think of a better signing TBH

 

[Canovin]

Is Curtis coming back from Europe?

Uh what math are you doing there?

It's 1.7 million more for the term of his contract. Larsson would make 2.11 actual post-tax money in Edmonton per year ($4 million contract) ... $1.7 million over 4 years is almost an entire year's worth of difference in take home salary for Larsson.

It's significant.

It might turn into a Larry Brooks/Tortorella situation. My theory is that Daniel Nugent Bowman is pissed off at Ken for always mixing him up with Nugent Hopkins

You do know that his contract isn't paid entirely at Seattle taxes right?
It's paid per game, based on the city the game is played in.

 

[Canovin]

What do we have to add to Neal to get Tarasenko?

Hyman-McDavid-Tarasenko

Why? Not sure what gives you the idea that Edmonton is some UFA dreamland

Tell all book in 2034. 1 for 1: the Adam Larsson story. Sorry that’s toxic Edmonton talk as Friedman would imply.

He knows. It’s been explained many, many times to him.

It's still significantly more and the majority of his games are played in Seattle. Most games being played in the US period helps him because most US states have lower taxes than their Canadian counterparts.

The savings are not insignificant.
