Proposal: Trade Rumors and Proposals: If Someone From the Core Gets Dealt Who Should it Be?

[BigBush*]

Teddy Purcell for Rene Bourque. Purcell is just not a fit here, never has been.

Purcell's no longer a fit anywhere

 

[Philly85*]

Please get Byfuglien, Chia. That is what we need.

And Wayne Simmonds. Boy he would look good flanking anybody in the top 9.

Fayne, Pouliot, 2nd for Simmonds and L Schenn

Laleggia, 1st, 3rd for Buff

I dislike Bourque more, he's a worse player and extremely inconsistent with his effort level, that said he costs less and we can bench him or waive him to the AHL, so I don't really care.

Theres no way that the Oilers deal RNH. You don't want a combination of McDavid and Draisaitl to be your 1&2 Cs in a very tough western conference. Although i have complete faith that McD and Drai have the tools to get it done, they don't have all of them just because of lack of experience. RNH has 4 years of NHL hockey under his belt whereas the other two guy have a combined 40 games. If anyone from the core is going to get dealt it has to be a winger. Most likely it will end up being Eberle, Hall, or Yak plus some chip ins to get some help on the back end. RNH is just too valuable for the Oilers because of the lack of experience down the middle, plus that would leave a big hole in centre depth.

Yeah, let's add Ference or Nikitin as well. Totally unrealistic.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Alright I'll take my comments back after last night, if Hall keeps playing like he has the last two games please don't trade him.

I say we just wait it out for now and then once we know how awful we might be after 20ish then consider moving future pieces to secure players for right now.

This one was the funnier one I think.

Laleggia, 1st, 3rd for Buff

 

[Soundwave]

Our 2016 1st should be able to land us a good d-man if we want. Factor in Nurse also joining the fight and next year at least should be OK. I'd really like to be able to upgrade the D during this season though.

There's definitely some positive signs with this team right now, if we could just reinforce the D to give us better break outs and perhaps get a big point shot for the PP, that would be huuuuuge.

 

[joestevens29]

would vinny help the oilers 1oa's...be nice to have a former star vet that's been there before...although he is prob done right

Help in terms of breaking their record they set Saturday?

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Just like 99% of trade ideas, completely unreasonable

Byfuglien is what this backend has been screaming for.

Ticks pretty much every box we need on the backend and the added bonus of probably being available too. Sure it may offer up trouble down the road, but I'd hope we deal with that when we get there.

So, hypothetically speaking of course, what do you see being the 'cost' of getting him? 2016 1st round pick? That and a bit? That and a lot?

The Oilers' 2016 1st round pick should be sufficient. If not, I'd be hesitant to make that the center piece of the trade.

Fayne + Yakimov + 2nd should be the alternative offer.

Well, you sold me on it... lets get it done!

Seriously, I avoid the main boards (the rumour board) because of how seriously people take their own trade proposals... they all too often act like the trade is going to happen. It is fun to speculate though... and day dream a little.

 

[backhandsauce]

Columbus needing a shake up. I'd love to pry Dubinsky or Hartnell out of there.

Suddenly, we are Habs fans making trade proposals

Yeah, there's a lot of pieces that Columbus has that I'd love to have here.

If their slow start continues on for a while I could definitely see them looking to make some moves. I can't see how they won't improve though.

 

[Raoul Duke]

He makes a nice goat.

Dubinsky/Jenner and Burns in

Purcell, Ference, Nikitin out

Oilers will be a good place

I can't see San Jose moving Burns unless they start losing

I don't mind waiting until after the draft to make a trade for Burns. He costs too much right now and we aren't making the playoffs.

Why trade for someone we might be able to get for nothing but money on July 1?

Dubinsky would be great if we could get him

Hall - RNH - Hendricks
Dubinsky - McDavid - Yakupov

That and Gryba is doing 90% for us already of what Buff can bring. Im really impressed with him so far! The trades we made for lesser lights are the ones that are the most beneficial for us, that is true in all sports and on good teams. Rarely do the big splash trades turn out as good as expected.
