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

[Bryanbryoil]

If they know about Kane they haven’t said they know. Rumours are we have been looking at D all day and aren’t really looking at a goalie.

The fact that it's not common knowledge that he's out until the offseason means that we are probably f***ed one way or another.

 

[CupofOil]

Nothing really. Depth D according to media.

Why even bother?

 

[AddyTheWrath]

It's for the best, we aren't beating Vegas anyway.

I’m not sold this team beats LA this year

The rate were going we aren't even making the playoffs.

I don’t know why you people even bother posting, following or watching if you have 0 hope. Seems like there would be much better uses of your time if you really think things are that bleak.

It’s your life I guess.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

That dreams dead.

Well since management doesn't believe Gibson moves the needle we're stuck with Skinner and Pickard as our playoff tandem. Whelp.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Don’t worry we will get another bottom pairing D though.

Stauffers nephew Soucy LOL

 

[FlameChampion]

Why even bother?

No idea.

Just a question if JJ/SB playing it close to their vest or if the media is correct.

 

[McTonyBrar]

And then tell us how hard it is to make moves. Can’t squeeze other GMs

You can squeeze your you know what but not GMs

 

[KlefDown]

To be fair most of those bodies suck ass, lmao.

regardless, G1 should take higher precedence in our list of needs than fourth line and depth D


Bowman probably hasn't even inquired about a goaltender this deadline based on his interviews and oilers management truly believe in this goaltending, which is just absolutely crazy

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why even bother?

Because they want to give off the illusion of being busy without doing actual work.

This isn't even surprising. We've said all year that management will probably do the bare minimum throughout the year and all we've gotten are waiver fodder and a guy who's out until the playoffs.

Management could do a lot to fix that but yet again we hired an afterthought GM that dismantled his previous team because he was a piece of shit. Never mind that the team is arguably playing their worst hockey of the McDavid era.

 

[McShogun99]

We don't have anything Anaheim wants. Let the dream die and save yourself the aneurysm.

I think there’s a condition on our 1st this year that we can give Philly the 26 1st if we trade the 25 pick.

That was a Holland quote. Not sure why it’s relevant now.

 

[Canovin]

Guys stop feeding the troll

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Also, Vinny's 3rd team this year.

We will see what happens.

But it feels like JJ/SB had a pre-conceived notion weakness of the team and have stuck to their original target and haven’t bothered to pay attention to the last 60g

 

[North]

The doom and gloom is hilarious.

I’m still not going to react until the deadline is done.

People are demoralized by the state of the team. I am in that camp because I feel like goaltending has been a pressing need for a long time and the situation hasn't been rectified. Sure, not many goalies available, but one is available- John Gibson. So, let's see what happens.

Honestly management could just say they are going to work the phones and make improvements if they make sense up until the deadline.

Instead they’re telling every person in the media we are looking for a depth D and not looking at goaltending.

We will see what actually happens. But the management group comes across as arrogant and out of touch.

 

[foshizzle]

If I’m Katz, I’m calling Kane and telling him this

“Evander, we need you 100% for the playoffs. Don’t worry about losing your spot. RNH is a p***y and will be useless with McDavid against the defence of Vegas. Practice hard with the team. Go down to bako for a couple of games- come back for game 1 at your rightful place beside 97”

Gibson just left with a new injury. Looks like a leg injury.

Welp

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Soucy seems to suck as a fighter based on a handful of fights that I've seen. Little to no offense, not a good fighter, what does he do well exactly?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

"Leg injury" aka traded mid game *fingers crossed*

 

[iCanada]

To be fair most of those bodies suck ass, lmao.



All quiet on the western front. I think management has waved the white flag.

Maybe there is hope on the Eastern front?

Please?

A goalie, any goalie...

 

[Bryanbryoil]

How bad did it look? Hopefully we can get Binnington if he's out.

 

[iCanada]

Stauffers nephew Soucy LOL

Can he play goal?
