"Jake Walman is a solid two-way defenceman with strong puck-moving skills"

Nice!

"an excellent shot, the ability to play both sides"

Great!

"and a *lot* of experience against elite competition. He's had an excellent season on an awful team."

Holy shit! YES!

"Rush defending is a weakness though."

f***.

 

[Paralyzer]

Anyone care to get vetted?

Send me a DM and if you nail the Walman return, you're in.

Wrong answers will get banned.

That Klingberg signing gets funnier by the day.

 

[McTonyBrar]

This trade for Jake Walman proves the media has no clue what the Oilers plans are at the Trade Deadline

 

[FunkyChicken]

Better not have spent a first round pick without upgrading the starting goalie.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Interesting that no insiders saw either of our trades coming. Hopefully more coming that nobody saw coming.

As it is, having Walman, Kane and Frederick join this team for the playoffs will be huge. Keep it coming!!!

Well, I would, but I was just unbanned like yesterday and I'm saving my next ban for after the trade deadline...

Sharks have no retention spots I think? So if we get him we have this 3.4 hit next year? Takes us out of the Rantanen possibility

Not if they dump salary.

 

[CupofOil]

Apparently also a top prospect and zero retention.

Where are you hearing this?

I can't imagine it's Savoie+1st, highly doubtful it's O'Rielly since they drafted him. Akey's numbers are pretty underwhelming so if it's him I guess that's ok, he just doesn't fit their timeline and Walman is a multi-year solution.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Right now Rantanen and Marchand are holding up the rest of the forward market.

It's not a given they will be moved, but it looks like they will be moved. (if anyone stays it's Marchand I think. Could be some contract demand/hold out BS on Marchand's end)

Now let's hope it's the Oilers. I'm sure Dallas, Avs, Jets, VGK are also looking

It also proves this board’s mood swings are ridiculous.

WHY ARENT WE MAKING MOVES -> Makes Move -> WHY DID WE PAY THAT PRICE -> repeat

No goalie. No parade.

Hey if it’s a good trade for a good player it’s good.

 

[Jarvi]

Ya gotta think Marchy could get a major say in where he goes. Probably re-signs with the B's in the offseason.

Does he go for the Nova Scotia connection in Colorado with Mack, or a chance to play with the best player in the world, and to finally bring a cup back to Canada here? I think the return will be shockingly low regardless.

Hey, we just got off our 'special moment of the month'! Give us a break!

pretty much every single insider said we were after a left defenceman.. so id say this pretty much proves they do know what the oilers plans were. Especially since the logical additions would have been 4RD, G, and top 6 wing, if you were just guessing without information.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Still need another option in goal

 

[brentashton]

First March on HF?

I sent a note to the owners of this site before the last upgrade and got a really funny response about how good these upgrades are and how well they work.

I told the dude he should try using his product once in a while before suggesting that.

The fact that they subject users to the nauseating ads as “payment” to be a user doesn’t make it any better that the customer experience is horseshit like this.

I encourage everyone to email the site ownership and share your concerns.

Also, thank you Soil, or whoever made the infinitely wise decision to unban me...I'm the LTIR playoff add you never knew you needed!

 

[McShogun99]

Is this shit lagging for y'all

I can’t even get onto the main trade board.

Better not have spent a first round pick without upgrading the starting goalie.

there’s no goalie that’s available that’s worth a 1st.

 

[Vagabond]

I guess if it's Akey and a 1st I can live with it. Seeing how Akey hasn't recovered to his top level after injury. I thought a 1st would be enough on its own. Walman is 29 and just breaking out this season. There's no history in saying he can be consistent. It's a gamble but if he keeps pace and keeps progressing then all is good.

Get a goaltender upgrade and I'll be ecstatic.
