Rumor: Trade deadline/rumour/proposal thread Vol 12:clowe to nyr

[Jeff Lebowski]

I don't get this. This team isn't going on a "playoff run", it's trying to make the playoffs. Add to that, if you move Habby to the Leafs, you could likely get Scrivens back, or trade for a cheap backup, Leighton, Boucher, etc.

If they make the playoffs, they'll have as good a shot as anyone to go on a long run. They would have to be one of the hottest teams down the stretch to make it in and the teams that are hot going into the playoffs usually go a long way.

I think we should trade Omark + 2013 1st for the girl of Yak's dreams...wherever she is.

Where are you? The girl of my dreams ... : D

Oh girls, girls ... What's going on with you?: (

 

[s7ark]

I'm against it too in principal but that is under the assumption we are getting a 2nd or a 3rd round draft pick back from a playoff team, if we get offered a 1st or 2 2nds I would take that without hesitation; you don't want to send the wrong message to the team but we have good depth with our left side D and the reality is we are still rebuilding you can't forgo that kind of overpayment for a UFA you likely aren't going to retain on a playoff push that we likely have less than a 50% chance of making.

Ok sure, if someone is offering up a 1st, then we should take it. But I don't see that happening. For a 2nd, I wouldn't do it. 2nds haven't been turning out that well for us. I'd take Whitney for the playoff push over having a third 2nd round draft pick this year.

Anyone know if TSN/Sportsnet will be streaming online? Or somewhere to stream them?

Does Khabbi have any more daughters to contribute to the team?

Daren Millard, trying to sell the show, predicting 20+ trades, a surprise goalie on the move, and says Oilers will look for a forward, Whitney in play.

Also said Hemsky to NJ would be a good fit but Devils have been quiet.

Haha nobody needs to sell it to me. It's a tradition now.

Wow... That's not even selling the show. That's standing on the street corner...

 

[Spawn]

From TSN's website. I am sure sportsnet will have their's streaming as well. Since most people work on deadline day, sportsnet and TSN tend to steam it. At least they have the last few years.

Sweet dealio

Pitkanen out in CAR. Whitney could be gone unfortunately.

What are your guys' thoughts on Kris Russell and Ian Cole?

With Oilers still fighting for a play-off spot, I doubt Whitney is in play. That said, if they can parlay Whitney into Ott type of player I would not be opposed to it.

Maybe something like

To EDM--Ott
to BUF- Caron, 4th/5th round pick from Boston
Boston-- Whitney

Then maybe package a 2nd round pick from Ana with one of defensive prospects (Plante, Teubert, Bigos, Fedun) for Streit.

 

[The Nuge]

Neither provide much of an upgrade, if any

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

What are your guys' thoughts on Kris Russell and Ian Cole?

Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if we deal for Russell. Left-handed puck-moving defenceman. With Bouwmeester in, Russell is expendable. The unfortunate part is that he is small. Which is why I think we'll make a move for him. He'll likely be cheap aswell. And let's not forget, Kevin Lowe has been involved with picking him for Team Canada in the past.

 

[Wadewilson]

Ugh, some of you people are missing the point of this whole "upsetting the room"

We are one point out of a playoff spot it's a longshot, but the players look at it as something they need to rise up and can get done. That is every single player in that dressing rooms goal. Hall, eberle, Hopkins, hell even Smid, this is the first time they have REALLY been in a playoff race in the big show. As young leaders on this team that's got to be huge for them!!

That being said, what happens tomorrow will tell them what management thinks about them. Trade Whitney for a 2nd round pick, and you're saying I have no faith in you guys. Trading for only futures is not the right message to send to the kids. It's not about the chemistry in the room. It's about believing in our core players. Trade Whitney, Jones, and Bulin, I could care less. But bring back players you can sell as an upgrade for the stretch. Grab a Torres, and a Mcbain. But do it for getting stronger for the stretch. Upgrade the team, not the draft.

I'd rather have Whitney walk for nothing July 5 then have him go for a 2nd tomorrow. Management needs to show we have faith. Even just keeping everyone says we think you can do it.

Why unfortunately? He's probably upgrade on Whitney at this point--at least defensively. If he comes cheap--I would not mind him. They can always re-sign Fistric, if they want extra toughness on the back end. Better yet go after Regehr or D.Murray in the off-season.

I agree. If you make a trade tomorrow for a roster player, you need to be addressing a need now. Getting rid of Whitney just opens up another hole.

Question: How does Potter not fill Whitney's spot?

 

[McOilbleeder]

Question: How does Potter not fill Whitney's spot?

Break out pass and knowing when to pinch. Potter doesn't have the hockey IQ to do either consistently.

 

[Oil In My Veins]

@Nichols_NHLPool
Derek Morris confirms he has submitted his limited NTC waive list of eight teams to #Coyotes. Wants to stay though.

 

[oilinblood]

I would like to see if our 1st can get Jamie McBain.


I have wanted J Boychuk or j McBain to strengthen our RHD side since last summer.

(i would much prefer Boychuks hitting and sacrifice on McBains better footwork)

Our 1st in 2013? No nonono.

This is literally the only thing Whitney is bringing to the table here.

At least Potter uses his size. Potter has the better shot, better net clearing presence. Him and Whitney are the same speed wise. Whitney has the breakout pass.
