Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXV: Season over. Still waiting to begin...

[McIce Whole]

The more I hear about Nichushkin the more I want absolutely nothing to do with him.

What have you heard that leads you to not liking him?

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

The Barkov theory: Lecavalier bought out so that Barkov can take his place
TBay selects Barkov with the 3rd overall pick

This does make sense...

What does Nashville do? Take Jones or Drouin now?

 

[McArthur]

Hey losing Marincin to have a 12 forward lineup like that would be worth it

We are not trading Marincin, this kid is a huge part of Edmonton's future.

There needs to be another question asked: Why did Steve Yzerman go to the school of perpetual rebuild?

On a more fathomable note, this must be a move from ownership. Or Steve Yzerman has a deal cooked up for a No. 1 Goaltender with a big contract.

Likely whoever's left (Florida takes Jones/Drouin/Barkov to screw with Tampa Bay)

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Again, that doesn't really matter as East and West are kind of irrelevent going forward, 4 Conference system.

It's a 4 DIVISION system. The 4 conference system was shot down.

Staples has lost his mind

One guy I'd love to see the #Oilers trade for: Oleksiak. He and Schultz could be monster pairing for a decade. Gagner and #7 for Oleksiak.

They need Drouin deperately, No skill and no fun in Nashville.

 

[McDoused]

I didn't realise they were trading him.

No but they probably have a better idea of what their GM would do.

Oleksiak is solid, but that is a massive overpay IMO

Ok then so you play a mixed playoffs (East and West) or do you just play the teams in you "Division"? Because it's not different if the latter is the case.

If Jones was available, gotta say take the minute muncher on the economical team.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

The Barkov theory falls apart if...

Avs select: Nathan MacKinnon
Florida selects: Aleksander Barkov

Tampa Bay selects:... Can we have Vincent Lecavalier back?
In that scenario, do they select Jones and hope to hell they can lure Bozak?

I like Oleksiak, but Brenden Dillon surpassed him.

 

[Asher]

Barkov makes sense but I still think TB takes Drouin at #3.

 

[joestevens29]

Oh Staples.
Gagner + 7th for Oleksiak

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

For some reason, I just see him in a Calgary Flames jersey in my head.

I can't see it happening unless Feaster gives him the same 7.7m/7yr contract that he just got bought out of. Lecavalier would know that he would be the only one on that team worth a damn, and that he'd be the new face of that franchise, so that's what it would take. I think the Flames have got some dark, dark days ahead of them.

 

[Mentallydull]

Puck hog, worst interview at the combine, quit during his combine tests.

This was back on the previous page, just quoted so you can see it

That package should at least get you a 6th as well.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Oh Staples.
Gagner + 7th for Oleksiak

I'm... not sure if I'd do either of those pieces separately for Oleksiak...

 

[Comrade Blunderbore]

so much opportunities on the market. Tambo would probably end up with signing Jon Blum after smoke settled. curious to see what MacT will pull through.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Old format. Win your division in the playoffs and play the winner of the other division in the Conference Finals.

Personally I hate it.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I would trade or buyout Horcoff (if necessary) and Belanger and tell him (Lecavlier) to shut up and take my money. He'd be an excellent 2C. That or RNH would be.

Then tell Gagner to get offer sheeted so I can get some future picks, the crappier the team the better.

I'm mean.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Oh Staples.
Gagner + 7th for Oleksiak

Maybe he means Oleksiak and Benn, because that's about the only way it comes close to making sense.
