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

[AddyTheWrath]

This is the other thing you do, play victim.

This isn’t difficult. No one is saying don’t post. Posters are rightfully asking you to post the correct quote. It is extremely disrespectful to misquote, and thus misrepresent, what someone said.

Also- it’s not “wrong info” you are flat out lying about what someone said.

It’s rinse and repeat with that guy. I don’t think he studied reading comprehension in grade school

 

[Louis Cypher]

If we were to trade for him, I think it's a pure rental. As you said, it'll cost too much to resign; he's looking for 14+ per year.

Would much rather fill 2 or 3 holes that blow it all on him.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Yes.


Like there has to be something here. How does someone out live multiple coaches, POHOs, GMs? Has this ever happened before?

The old (debunked) rumor that Schwartz was rumored to Katz' neice at least made it make sense logically. Nepotism sucks, but at least it would have explained why. The only other explanation, is that maybe our "goalie coach" is really just a video coach who points out the flaws in the opposition goalies, rather than working with our goalies. That actually might explain why our goalies always look like they need a coach.

Would much rather fill 2 or 3 holes that blow it all on him.

That's what he said!

Take notes oilers management. This is what you should do when you have McDrai on this team. Not the f***ing dollar in dollar out excuse

Have you seen out cap situation? and our last 5 first rounders? We traded 2025 for one in 2024(which we traded), 2023 traded, 2022 Player drafted but traded for Ekholm, 2021 player drafted and traded for crap.

Out cap situation is pretty straight forward. We are in a buck in and Buck out situation. And we are almost at the player in and player out situation because of all our wire claims this year

we are at 48/50 contracts we are allowed to have.

And as for draft picks being traded--we have traded A LOT

I have a feeling Stan is going to be like Chia. Good at trading with small currency and terrible with big currency type trades

To be fair to Stan, between Kane and Jackson, not sure he can even so anything big

That final sentence should be on a banner in Bowman's office.

What does Tampa have we do not

Hall of fame Goalie and number 1 dman. If we had Vis and Hedman on this team? How different would our choices be? Hedman is pushed can play 30+ a night. He is one level below Pronger

 

[Oilhawks]

Yup. JJ locked down any tradeable pieces with NMCs, and Kane is sort of holding the team hostage as well

 

[Old Boys Club]

oilers management has had 10 years to find a goalie and the best they’ve mustered is 16-17 talbot and 21-22 geriatric Mike smith. What a monumental failure. Talbot turned to mush under the tutelage of Schwartz and Father Time got smith. At least smith had the sense to tell Schwartz to f*** off and brought in his own coach.

 

[Canovin]

Just pay whatever for Vejmelka and Soderblom with Stuart and Pickard going the other way. That's a tandem we will have for a very long time. Pretty consistent and hardly any dips in Vejmelka's games

Then I guess big money man Stan better pull his fukn socks up and get at 'er.

(edit: that final sentence I mentioned had NOTHING to do with Tampa btw...)

 

[Biltmore]

He's .921 in Colorado. That's not "voodoo", that's called stopping the puck quite a lot.

The Oilers are basically that guy who had a girl break his heart one time and now believes relationships are a scam for everyone, lol.

They are like a guy who has never made it past third base...

We have been doing that. The Ekholm trade is a prime example of it. Since Holland took over we’ve been going all in every year but for some reason it’s just not been for a goalie.

 

[iCanada]

iT’S NoT The GoALIES FaULT

It's kind of absurd...

Meanwhile the ducks have had sub-900 Goaltending just 16 times and Goaltending above 950 12 times, including last night.

That leaves them 32 games between .900 and .950... Or 44 out of 60 games they have above average Goaltending.

Brutal.

They’ve been pretty much stacked up and down their entire lineup during their cup runs. Imagine giving McDrai a lineup like Tampa’s over the years. They’re probably win 5 Cups in a row.

YOU quoted an article using TB as an example.

@Boner Pills this is the quote I am talking about

 

[Messrules11]

Time for Bowman to get off his ass and bite the bullet, he’s paid millions to improve this team and outside of Fredrick wtf has he done?
Go out and get Saros, make it work somehow some way.

I’m losing it.

 

[Jumptheshark]

We need to free up money. Just gotta figure out how.

Clearly Kane is on his way out

 

[Soundwave]

We have been doing that. The Ekholm trade is a prime example of it. Since Holland took over we’ve been going all in every year but for some reason it’s just not been for a goalie.

If by "every year" you mean 1 year/the last 4 ... sure. Getting Henrique and Carrick is not going all in, neither is just getting Frederic and maybe Soucy.

Kevin Lowe in 2006, THAT is going all in.

 

[McAsuno]

Goodbye Stanley cup. Hello first or second round exit

Lotta guys here that don't move the needle. Klingberg experiment needs to end. Kapanen, I like his speed but does nothing else. Same with Arvidsson, Henrique, and Janmark, NMC notwithstanding. Giving a NMC AND a 2nd year to Arvidsson was so dumb, makes it harder for a team to want to take him.

 

[Soundwave]

The playoffs might be the least of the Oiler worries this year to be honest.

 

[Cloned]

You just have to hope that the messaging that they aren’t looking for a goalie is deliberate so as not to make them seem desperate and also so you don’t completely shatter Skinner’s confidence (I can’t even say that last part with a straight face).

 

[Boner Pills]

??? Someone else quoted a Tampa tweet, I made reference to the final sentence only, about trying and failing has less regret than failing to try.
