Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Previous Poll Punted, Pristine Prospect Procurement Poll Pinned

I know Broberg has played well in these playoffs but let's not gift him a top 4 spot just yet.

As for Laine there's just some serious red flags with that man.

Broberg is a LOCK for top-4 minutes, frankly I would play him and Bouchard together, and get a younger puck mover type to play with Ekholm on the other pair.

Laine has had some tough moments, it's fine, I don't need Laine to be a hero, just score some goals and play the wing. He's can hide behind a bunch of guys here, where he hasn't had that ability before.

If you get Laine for Nurse+, the Oilers are ahead, NO question.

I’m pretty certain Nurse would accept a trade to the right market. I bet this guy is sick of the pressure and he’s making bank. He’d probably like to get his family somewhere with less attention and just rack up the dough for a few more years, maybe he’d like a chance to prove us all wrong too.

Gotta talk to the geezer GMs who might be dumb enough, or maybe Dubas.

 

[barry halls]

Kane out, Arvidsson in would be nice this summer

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Assuming we don't pull off a miracle, we need a GM creative enough to put us in the same position next year that Florida was this year. Experienced in the finals, but deeper, and pissed.

Nurse's NMC means nothing at this point. I'm sure he will want out after this playoffs.

He has a bigger ego than people think, he thinks he's part of the "core" in the same way McDavid and Draisaitl are. It would be hard to talk him into going to a non-playoff team like Columbus assuming Columbus even would want him.

Treliving loves big players and seems to think size is the answer. Maybe there is a way to get Nurse back home.

This is the one place you don't want to send Nurse. He and McDavid are tight. Don't give Connor any friends on that team to consider if things arent going well here when his contract is up.

Feel like Nurse could help make TO unpalatable though. Keep them from ever looking like a place McDavid could go to win.

I think goal #1 in Edmonton is do everything we can to create an actual contender. A team that can actually have good seasons, win the division for the first time in forever and go on runs with home ice advantage. Not some team that needs a coach bump every year to not look like they crawled out of the gutter and hopes all their obvious weak links don't get exposed for 4 rounds. Freeing up nurses cap space is looking like a must to ever build a complete team now.

When does Leon re up?

When does Leon re up?

Hopefully in the July.

 

[Wretched Oil]

Nurse isn't going anywhere.

Maybe he'll rebound with a year on the 2nd pairing.

Sending nurse there eats up a ton of cap, makes it harder for McDavid so sign there

I could see him being moved with us retaining a bit or paying someone else to

The team is absolutely looking to move on from Nurse this offseason and I think he would really welcome it.

Last year the Panthers had Gudas, Staal and Josh Mahura as 3/6 - now Mikkola Kulikov and OEL

Not huge changes, but what a difference that makes. We need to do the same

This is the one place you don't want to send Nurse. He and McDavid are tight. Don't give Connor any friends on that team to consider if things arent going well here when his contract is up.

If Connor wants to go to Toronto, we aren't stopping him.

I think he would have to be insane to go there though. New York, LA, Boston, Florida, Dallas, Colorado, Vegas, San Jose, Seattle - why not go to any of those markets? It would only be if he really wanted to win one with the Leafs, but it doesn't strike me that that is some goal of his.

Not sure of a trade situation where the Oilers don't get severely bent over. I don't even think he's movable because of his salary.

I think we can only move out one of Campbell or Nurse because of the loss we'd take.

My bet is on a Campbell buyout

Nurse ain’t going no where. That’s like the Flames trading Huberdeau. Unless you want to retain 4 million for 6 years.

The only team that could realistically take Nurse's cap IMO is Utah. They have no signed D [albeit 3 are RFA] and ~44M in cap space for the coming season.

But that would also depend on Nurse waiving. Who knows...maybe with his ego bruised after the playoffs and media thrashing, maybe he'll want a fresh start

Not sure Utah wants to start things off with the most overpaid Dman in the league.

 

[McDNicks17]

It'll be interesting to see if Jackson lets McDavid do as much GMing as Holland did.

That'll be the main thing that decides if Nurse gets moved.

Is it ego if its true? Nurse has been a real core member since he got here.

Theyll still need a Dman haha
Plus, their owner aint cheap so who knows. Offer them Nurse and XB and call it a day
