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

Been an issue for basically as long as I've been a fan. Amateur and pro scouting lag waaaaay behind the big boys of the league.

Surely Stan Bowman has a nephew he can hire to fix our pro scouting

 

[Drivesaitl]

Florida improved its fourth line with maybe the best faceoff guy in the league, Vegas added a strong middle sixer, and Stan had a satisfying bowel movement. That's about it.

To clarify I meant nothing Oilers has happened. I was thinking about the bowel movement joke.

 

[McHelpus]

With the moves Florida is making, you'd think they are the ones that lost in the finals.

Don't worry, we have Zack Kassian now.

Bob Green needs to marry a few more times and get some more stepsons on the pro scouting team.

Seravalli actually just got word that he's constipated. He'll have more as this story develops.

Tick tock

There’s so many guys that I always forget are still employed by the Oilers lol. I took a double take just now, not only is he still around, he’s our head amateur scout? I thought that was that Rick Pracey guy. But no, he’s our director of amateur scouting.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I’m convinced no oilers GM ever puts in anything close to a 40 hour week.

 

[McHelpus]

So the most hilarious thing that could happen tonight is for Stuart Skinner to some how get hurt (I do NOT want him to get hurt, just a thought experiment) and be out longer term and force the team to go in another direction.

Though with this group that would probably be Mrazek for free lol.

Or they would run Pickard for the last 20 games of the season.

 

[McDNicks17]

Parayko out for six weeks.

Just give up and give us Binnington already.

They probably talk about the team less than we do.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Parayko out for six weeks.

Just give up and give us Binnington already.

Agreed on that, I think Parayko officially becomes an "explore in the offseason player"

 

[McDNicks17]

Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get Kunin too?

 

[Canovin]

Their lunch break is longer than their work time

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

He's add speed and he grew up with Frederick.

I wonder if the Oilers could get Binnington and Faksa (50% retained) for Stu Skinner, Kapanen going back ++? Faksa could be the 4th line center.

Still annoys that he visits Edmonton in the offseason but doesn't sign with the Oilers when he had the chance

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Is Taylor Halls house still up for rent? Asking for a friend.

Wasn't it username Sniper45 (or something around those lines) that started that rumor?

Wonder where that guy is these days. He sure was rowdy at times so maybe he got banned for life. lol

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Their lunch break is longer than their work time

They definitely eat spicy food and pretend to be stressed between naps under the desk

 

[CupofOil]

The fact that we're this close to the deadline and they still don't know is flat out unacceptable.

They might have already known but didn't leak it to the media.

Either way, if they have the cap space then there's no excuse to only add a Soucy-like player.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Where's the goalie, Stan?

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

So Rishaug now saying it's more likely that Kane will in fact be out until playoffs?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I suggested, and I think many agree, that Management finally confirmed for him he will be out. I wouldn't be shocked if Kane isn't even ready in the first round. This isn't a shot at him, he had his body rebuilt from nearly scratch lol.

 

[Heavy Dee]

I have this sick feeling it's going to be saros.

 

[Vagabond]

Where's the Epstein files! I meant goaltender!
