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

[foshizzle]

Gazzola called out Tony? Or Laing?

Tony, who is KGill and messages every freaking on the air. Like that's all he does

My gut says canes don't trade Rantanen

Keep your gut away from my fantasy

 

[McShogun99]

Move out Kane and Arvy. Bring in Rantanen, Oleksiak, + goalie. Just keep Savoie. Everything else is fair game. O'Rielly, 2026 & 27 firsts, Akey etc.

No excuses.

I'm only moving O'Reilly, Akey or the 1sts for players that can help us after this season. There really isn't any available UFA that is an upgrade on what we have now and I doubt Carolina will move Rantanen now.

 

[Vagabond]

Did Tampa ever pay up for mediocre top 6ish players. Holy shit. Lmfao

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I know everyone wants to blame JJ for our situation but one of our main problems has gone back years. Holland had five years to fix it and after Markstrom turned him down the best he could do was the husk of Jack Campbell.

We have been cap strapped for a long time and while JJ’s bets didn’t work they weren’t egregious ones especially since the two contracts at issue are short term.

Imagine what we could do if Campbell’s buyout money wasn’t on the books and Nurse wasn’t overpaid. Both Holland errors that are still affecting us.

Colorado fixed their goaltending pretty easily. Why should our current management get a pass.

I'd move all of them for rentals and wouldn't blink.

It just needs to be the right rentals. Actual difference makers.

The management doesn't think the goaltending needs fixing, this is the problem.

I would keep Oreilly over Savoie. That's just me. But I prefer to only move picks

I can see a Savoie for Rakell ++ type of deal before Friday.

I’ll help you- that’s not what he said. Lol. Someone posted the Zack Laing article a few pages ago with what Servalli actually said

He said it on the DFO stream. He said a Dman but not splashy

Am I giving him a pass? No but there were larger issues that occurred before he took over.

Colorado paid a pretty penny for Blackwood and I’m still not convinced he’s a solid bet long term.

I’m not going to be upset that Arvidsson and Skinner have not worked out. They were bets that for whatever reason haven’t worked out.

I still think we need a goalie and now it’s on Bowman to get one.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Damn feels like a seller's market this year, hard to believe there are so many deluded GMs pushing for a low chance at a playoff spot and likely a rather hasty and embarrassing exit shortly after.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Yep. Exactly why they deserve blame.

Or they can see the obvious but have the ambition and spine of a jelly fish and just don’t want to make the moves to try and fix it.

You still got it wrong. Lol

 

[Soundwave]

I think the Jets are next.

You gotta think the Jets have to go for it. That said I think Colorado beats Winnipeg in a series.

Yeah, it appears Jackson paid attention on July 1 to the even-strength goals per 60 stats, which made Skinner and Arvidsson reasonable bets. It appears the Oilers models did not consider the impact of aging curves enough.

Colorado paid a pretty penny for Blackwood? No they didn’t. I would do that deal everyday of the week to fix this shit show goaltending. There is no doubt Blackwood is better than our current goalies. The new contract extension is a different story. Not sure I like that.

I agree Holland wasn’t perfect but he still handed over a game 7 of the SC finals roster.

I wouldn’t have paid that price for him.

Yes and we still have several of those players including our shit goalies.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Year 10 of McD and we've never even gone all-in yet. Respect for TB. They needed to respond to FLA getting ready to beef up. We will add Mark Letesttube and a 7D and call it a night.

Our all in year should of been last year, with these prices I feel like we can still fix our goaltending, but probably won't do much more then that and with how the team is playing I'm not sure our group are deserving of a huge vote of confidence, atleast not a break the piggy bank and trade everything not nailed down.

 

[McDoused]

Maybe we should be sellers?

This same mindset is why we have to watch garbage goaltending every night meanwhile Colorado doesn’t.

What did Gazzola say about our very own botcher of quotes?

 

[Canovin]

Stuart Skinner for a 1st?

 

[Arpeggio]

Since it seems like a few people have named Carson Soucy, any reason to be excited about him? Looks like he was doing reasonably well up until this season.

We had closer ties with Grier as well and probably could've snagged a better deal. I mean the dude was willing to take Ceci off our hands...and for a decent prospect to boot.

Yet people still looked at Skinner and his playoffs with rose-colored glasses, willfully ignoring where he ranked in GSAx at that time (slightly above 4giev around the bottom two or four in the whole league), his pathetic career playoff save percentage (.894), the worst playoff GSAx of the cap era, three major playoff implosions over six rounds, and the Game 7 Cup-killing muffin of a wrister he let by...all because of a great performance in one series. Out of six.

On the other hand, a team like New Jersey was willing to demote Akira Schmid, even though he put up a similar playoff performance a year earlier to beat an even better goalie in Igor Shesterkin (and that was the year Shesterkin won the Vezina).

And you know what Blackwood would've cost us cap-wise? What we're paying Klingberg AND Kapanen.
