Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Klefbom Playing 21-22 is "very, very slim" | Holland Presser Fallout

That rumour never made sense to me.

Why would the Rangers give away Brendan Lemieux for nothing and then turn around and trade for Kassian?

Tom Wilson.

 

[Geardedandbearded]

I wonder what the add would be to get Buchnevich

Kassian, Khaira and 1st for Buchnevich and Georgiev, maybe a big dream.

its an interesting time in New York with the rangers. Are they really implementing a policy of compete now, the rebuild is over and that’s why the upper level management was let go? Or were they let go for the statement they made about the league and that was an excuse and they’re still willing to part with players like buch. From what I’ve gathered, there fans really value him and view him as part of the solution and if management is trying to compete they won’t move him but will instead resign him and move him later if the cap requires it. In this scenario no way they move him for futures/with kassian as a base. If they will take futures I’d be all over it, buch is legit. Got lots of time for Georgie too

Tom Wilson.

Don't get me wrong. I like Kass, but Wilson would murder him.

I know there isn't alot of love for Jarry, but Kassian for Jarry isn't terrible for the Oilers.

I'd prefer Ullmark in all honesty. Kassian probably has a little value on the open market. There's no reason to get locked into a goalie if you want to get rid of Kassian's cap hit.

 

[Oilers]

If that condition is met you should be tap dancing down the street, lol.

Hahaha I’ll probably be more like kucherov on the party boat

Shhh, they don't know that!

You could get both and let them challenge each other for the #1 job.

I like this idea a lot more than banking on Smith yet again.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Just realized something.. since Klefbom is out, we’d need a #4 LHD if we hadn’t got Keith. All of those LHD in free agency would be asking for 6-7 years 5-6 mill anyway… maybe even more since it’s Edmonton.

we got Keith for 5.5 for 2 years.

still not happy with not retaining. But, I feel better about it now

Maybe Suter or Ekholm but players like Murray and Oleksiak will not. Even a trade for another LHD at less than 5.5 million. So many options this offseason that didn't need to include Jones, a pick or 5.5mil on salary.

Why not, just curious?

He's just below the line for me. He didn't win any championships.

Hall of Fame should be for the elite of the elite, not the guys who had a pretty good career.

That's kind of unfair for a team sport. So in your mind a guy like Maroon has a better shot cause he has 3 cup rings?

Cup is a team trophy, individual accomplishments should count for something.

My Landeskog dream is still alive.

No.

I like Smith coming back at a certain cost for one year over being stuck to a goalie for three seasons who possesses similar traits to the goaltender were potentially buying out.

Give me Ullmark for 2-4 years, Smith for 1 and move on.

Kassian either clears cap getting flipped for a pick, gets taken by Seattle or he sticks around for another season. Not really dead set in any direction with him at the moment.

Ryan Miller & Chris Osgood has more wins than Rinne. Should they be in too?

 

[McJadeddog]

My Landeskog dream is still alive.

Well I really hope they lose him, because they are a power house team with him in the lineup. Zero chance we get him though, as he'll be asking for $7+ for sure, and potentially $8+. We can't come close to affording that. If we had some more cap space, I dunno, maybe like $5.5 M over the next 2 years, we could have maybe taken a run at him.

That's fair. I mean is his favor he has the 2nd fewest games played to 330+ wins all-time (Quick with 666gms & 336 wins)

 

[Joey Moss]

My Landeskog dream is still alive.

I wonder what he’s looking for? Hard to believe the Avs would let him walk. If he got to UFA I wonder what he would think of the RNH type deal with slightly higher cap.

Again, Keith costs $5.5, not $15.5, they can EASILY take a run at him.

The only person in Nashville who should be in the hall of fame is whomever drafts their defenseman.

Probably 7-8M per.

 

[McDrai]

Any news about whether we will be buying out Koskinen/Neal or does Holland still think we have a ton of cap space?

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Not surprising, I wonder if they flipped a coin between Duchene and Johansen
