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

[McSuper]

Typically NHL teams insure their biggest contracts. In that case insurance generally covers 80% of the contract which is why I said that the Habs were probably on the hook for about $3M in real money. This makes you trade a tough one.

Now there is a player on the Habs that I could see involved in a deal for Campbell. That is Anderson. Anderson has $15.5M left on his deal compared with $13.5M for Campbell. His buyout costs the Habs $1.3M more than the buyout for Campbell would. After a brutal start he cam on a bit down the stretch but the Habs might be willing to move on from him. Now would it be wise for the Oilers to try and convert Campbell into Anderson rather than opening up space? That is not clear, nor is how such a deal might go down.

I realize that. But according to the rumours the bonuses aren't cover and they have to pay 5.5 million July 1st this year and next year.

That's pure fantasy.

Still plenty of game in Adam Henrique, who at this point in his career is still a capable second line forward on more than half of the teams in this league.

I don't think he's a realistic option for us after this season because I believe that he'll have offers around his current AAV with term.


Keeping Kane and signing Henrique leaves $10m+ on the following year's cap when Draisaitl and Bouchard's extensions come into play. That's no Bueno.

2.5M to play on the Oilers and have a shot at the cup

or

3M to play on a lottery team

I know where I would choose

 

[Cloned]

Cross Tulsky officially off the list. I didn’t even hear about this until now ugh.

 

[McSuper]

Im here for the dismantling of the Canucks.

All those trash fans crying about the series, saying thier future was bright... They are about to have a massive UFA exodus. Lindholm gone, Zadorov leaving... Myers will be the big re-signing there. Vancouver is done. Back to missing the playoffs, I hope they enjoy the Pacific division banner next year... Seems to be all they can win

Most of the players leaving were trade deadline adds. Vancouver will be fine, not on this years level but they will be decent.

They overachieved all year, losing some of those adds will have an impact. They'll probably make the playoffs but doubt they take the division again

Find it odd that Seravalli thinks they're going to sign Guentzel. I guess if Lindholm walks, but it sounded like in addition

He may get $5m from a team like the Leafs. What did he not do this year that merits a $2m/year paycut?

Centers are a limited resource in the NHL.

I think they still make the playoffs next year, but they're going to take a sizable step back. They have a huge choice to make with Hronek that will indirectly affect us because Bouchard is much better than he is, so if they overpay the Great Value version that will have repercussions.

They just paid that second half ghost Hronek over 7 million at 8 years

I like it. Guy was not a good defender. He looked like shit the 2nd half of last year

My thoughts exactly, that's a lot of money for that dude. Great news for the Oilers

He's only 26 and this was his first year in the playoffs

say goodbye to big Z and Lindholm for sure now

 

[Oilhawks]

A lot of dough for a high end 2nd pairing D man. Less than Nurse though, at least

 

[brentashton]

[McHelpus]

Almost 20 million for Petterson and Hronek is sure something.

Edit: 2 goals and 6 assists combined in 13 playoff games lool

 

[McDoused]

I like that move for Vancouver. Guy works well with Hughes and RHD are always a commodity. He was and should have been their top priority over zadorov or Lindholm.

He has lived in Orange County for 8 years. Has a young family. Will take a lot to get him to move permanently.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in years.

That's exactly it. It's not a great contract. But if you let him go, you may end up with next to nothing to fill that role.

There was a time when we were paying Mark Fayne to fill a top four role.

 

[timekeep]

Thats what I was thinking too, don't playing against Zadorov. Send him to the East.

But his playoff chirp game is outstanding apparently.

I don’t have time to listen to the clip posted of Serevalli but if he’s heard Van is going to sign Guentzel…that kinda sounds like tampering unless they trade for his rights.

Everyone tampers without ramification in Gary’s NHL.

Everyone but us-lol.

Mind you… when Millhouse was the GM of the Leafs, he bitched we tampered with Campbell. But the league probably told him to sit down, because it was Jack Campbell.

Age doesn't matter to me. I am looking straight at the player.

Pretty sure Ekholm and his agent have already talked to this guy. Man he would look good finishing Draisaitls passes.

 

[belair]

Barclay Goodrow should be high on the list if he's bought out.
