Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread | Get Us a ****ing Goalie Edition!

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Still annoys that he visits Edmonton in the offseason but doesn't sign with the Oilers when he had the chance
He visits because he was born here, and probably still has family here.
Just like Iginla & Bowmeester, probably doesn't want to be under the spotlight as the local boy.

They aren't so great at ES.
A whole lot of overpassing, giveaways and poor defense.
McDavid will finish the season in minus despite getting 100+pts
(-10 in last 10 GP)
Again, they deserve a chance to win, you might quit, but management shouldn't. Get them help and support, the future assets are nice, but these guys aren't in their early 20s.

I’d trade pretty much anything outside of Savoie for a package of Carlo+Geekie. We all know what Carlo is but Geekie is one of the most underrated players in the league, 6’3 215lb right shot C, can also play wing, has 20 goals, only 2 mill AAV.
 
Bowman face reminds me of a delinquent step uncle who lives in a smelly 1 bedroom bachelors pad who cant hold a job down for any lenght of time and is always trying to low key brag about his accomplishments. The type of uncle who never gets anything done. Guy sat on his hands the entire season and didnt even try to move redundant players around for the trade deadline. A delinquent
 
WAY too much, why not add another 2 first.
Connor Murphy is a solid 2nd pair defender with another year yet and makes second pairing money. Last year right shot middle pair d with no remaining years cost around a 1st. Ryan Donato has 23 goals and 46 points this year which instantly makes him our 3rd best forwards. We just spent a 2nd on a worse guy, so that’s a 1st which O’Reilly is. 2 firsts to fill 2 major spots is fair value. If anything it might be not enough.

Agree with this but it's not a all in situation most of us think it is. If/when McD extends, our cup window will remain open for another 5 to 10 yrs.

If he doesn't then we still would have Draisaitl and others for a while.

Yeah, I don't assume that for a number of reasons, not the least of which is health. Go after it, stop waiting. Long term McDavid staying will also be affected by how much of shit management actually gives.

I worked about as hard on this as Bowman is working today.
 
This team has been a bottom 5 team with McDrai. They aren’t now. Swap rosters and we absolutely would be lol
I was obviously exaggerating. Hyman, Nuge, Kulak etc seem useless at the moment but are better than AHLers.

Parayko is out for the season.. maybe this makes STL give up on the season and trade us Binnington.

If we are trading for Binnington Skinner can’t be included. Cause you just KNOW he will then blow up and be great.

Our current window is not just Mcdrai, it’s Ekholm who completely transformed our back end and has shown signs of aging this season, though still elite. How much longer will he be a top pair Dman for? He won’t be easy to replace.
 
Bowman literally sat around all season with a box of chicken wings collecting a mill. Didnt even try correcting the cap situation or jettisoning off underachievers. The ultimate procrastinator. Imagine if we did this at any of our 9 to 5's ? This guy should be shot out of Edmonton in a cannon.

Loser.

We had a Devils fan come in here and suggest Jake Allen, he has similar numbers to Gibson and he's 8th in GSAx. Binnington would be nice with some retained, especially now that their playoff push is set to collapse with their Top D-Man getting surgery.

Soderblom in Chicago is doing well on a poor team and might be available with the much higher-paid Spencer Knight coming in as their goalie of the future, and Mrzaek's contract scaring off other teams.

Anton Forsberg and Levi Merilainen could be options. Both are far exceeding our tandem behind what was a worse defensive team for most of the year.

Jonathan Quick's numbers look good in New York. So do Talbot's in Detroit. Alex Lyon is a pending UFA, so he could potentially be had if Detroit decides on another goalie.

Lots of options out there but Bowman needs to actually look and make some calls.

He is their third most used defender against elites and is a -1 in that time. He seems to do just as well against everyone else.
5v5 he has gotten the 2nd most minutes and is rocking a 47% goalshare

He has a 2.55XgA/60 which would place him around Darnell Nurse. Which is actually very good for how bad Chicago is.

Would probably be a really solid partner for Nurse.
Does he move the puck well, though? I'm not so sure.
