Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread | No More Pacifism For the Oilers?

[Shanahanigans]

A reminder that the Oilers can clear out Kane, Skinner and Arvidsson and have 12 mill in cap space. There’s a lot of ways this can go if they play their cards right. There’s limiting factor this deadline is not cap space, it’s trade assets.

 

[McAsuno]

Well, Pronger likes it too so.. lol.

 

[McHelpus]

Don't like it. Way to much going out for someone they don't know will be healthy for the playoffs.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Strange because Sean Burke did exactly that with Dubnyk.

 

[Canovin]

Isn't Max Jones also on LTIR? Oilers collecting LTIR players like they're collecting infinity stones

 

[alphahelix]

A decent 2nd round pick seems a bit high.

Lachance and Wanner are decent prospects too. Not blue chip, but definitely still NHL plausible

 

[Cloned]

This is more likely going to be McDavid’s winger and not Drai’s.

 

[McBooya42]

Is it? We spent a good amount of assets on a 3rd liner who MIGHT play games for us before the playoffs.

More LTIR space my friend. Every little bit will help.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Stauffer kept talking about the Oilers going for a player in the 2 million range with double retention if Kane was coming back. I think this was probably the best player in their price range, and they want to give him a shot with Drai to see if he can be a more skilled Podkolzin. Given how bad this years draft is, a 2nd and a 4th for Frederic and Jones at 25% seems like solid value.

If Trent Frederic is our 2nd line winger LOL

A reminder that 2 of them have NMC and one of them has a 16-team NTC

You're dreaming if you think we can trade all 3. One would be a miracle.

Skinner and Arvidsson have full NMC buddy.

 

[alphahelix]

Is wanner anything or JAG ?

Oilers were very high on him as recently as this offseason. But he didn’t have a great year and had an injury. He hasn’t been developing at a very high rate since turning pro. Still possible NHLer at some point though.

why would he be our 2nd line winger? he's never been one

 

[ManOfSteelI]

You guys actually this he's going to be a top 6 winger? Nah, he should stay in the bottom 6 and help boost the putrid bottom 6 production.

So we spent a 2nd+++ for 500k of cap space?

 

[Canovin]

More like winger for Henrique so Ryan Nothing Happens gets bumped to McDavid's line

He's in the minors right now.

You can't ignore the NMCs as a significant limiting factor.

 

[McAsuno]

My guess is they have more stuff planned.
I just hope its a good one.
Pls get a goalie, Bowman.

Honestly- I bet they'll at least try it. Just speculation on my part, but Leon and Connor have a lot of say in who they play with, and it's been pretty clear this year that Leon prefers to play with grinders who get him the puck in the offensive zone. He loves playing with Podkolzin, but Pod has negative hands. Frederic at least has 18 and 17 goals the last two years. Maybe they're hoping he will be a stylistic fit who will be able to cash in off of playing with Leon.

I hope I'm wrong, but given how many bodies they have now, I think this might be it up front. If Frederic is out until the playoffs, or if they find a way to move some salary, their next move is probably on the blueline.

They’ve already tried that and it doesn’t work anymore.

 

[foshizzle]

Play him with Drai

 

[oXo Cube]

The guy actually has a history of being reasonably productive in the minutes the team can afford to give him.

It's definitely a smarter target than the Oilers usual move of bringing in someone, cutting 3 minutes off their TOI, giving them no PP time, then being surprised when they don't produce to expectation.
