Rumor: Trade Rumours & Proposals | Would NYR Move Kreider? | Reinhart Unclaimed

[shoop]

His parents blew it all...well...most of it. You should probably read up on it.

You should probably not be a jerk.

I'm well aware of the case. The fact that it was his parents make for all the more reason to be leery of this guy. He's a grown man. How do you trust his decision making on the ice when he makes such horrible choices with his personal life. At what age should a grown man cut the apron strings?

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Tortorella loves JJ, would be surprised to see him dealt

 

[McFlyingV]

Why the hell would we deal our only position of strength? People need to stop suggesting moving RNH or Drai. The only thing we have going right now is center depth.

I didn't suggest that I would make that deal, I just tried to come up with a reasonable proposal meeting the poster I quoted's criteria.

I think its a little bit simplistic to think that trading a centre couldn't help the team though. Yes its a position of strength, but its also a position of strength we're not utilizing with Draisaitl on the wing. If you could add a #1D who has a very good offensive game and still retain a #1 and #2C then you're probably in a better spot than you were. I don't think RNH is near enough to get OEL if he makes it clear to Arizona he won't be re-signing there, unless of course they're looking for a package of draft picks+prospects on top of Nuge. If he were made available and was willing to sign here a Draisaitl swap is at least something to consider given the current utilization of those 3 centres. Two top 6 centres and a #1D is more valuable to a team than 2 top 6 centres, and a top 6 centre being played at wing.

You don't have to have 1 position of strength. The best teams often have multiple positions of strength.

Maybe he was misled by people who he trusted? Maybe those people got into bed with the wrong people who offered them high interest loans in his name based on his future earnings? Call me a jerk, but I'm not sure how you can blame a guy who now hates his parents because they colossally ****ed him over if you were well aware of the case.

Absolutely and we only have 1 that’s the point. We can’t afford in anyway to deal a C right now. Especially because we need Drai at RW ATM.

I want a number 1 d as much as everyone else but I’m not willing to gut our only position of depth to get one.

You think Draisaitl playing at RW is more important than having a #1 Offensive D right now? I have a hard time agreeing with that, and really thats the only type of deal I'd consider moving one of our centres for. Much easier to acquire a filler winger (or develop one from Yam, Pulju, or Benson) than it is to acquire a #1D. Like I said, it would be something to at least consider if OEL agreed to sign, hence the trade would need to occur this summer.

He was absolutely mislead by people he trusted. I don't blame him for hating his parents for what they did to him. I question his judgment for allowing his parents to do what they did to him for as long as they did. Life sucks and some people get dealt really crappy parents. The situation should definitely be a consideration in any attempted trade for Johnson.

If its a distraction towards his physical or mental preparedness, absolutely. But his financial situation should really be no one's business.

 

[guymez]

Klef also played more minutes than Larson. I hope he turns around soon or at least stops getting worse. We need him.

This regression was unexpected. There seems to be a lot of posters claiming that he is now junk but thats nonsense.

He is still quite inexperienced as far as NHL dmen go...he will get better.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Things are done, so the Oilers should send Puljujarvi down so he doesn't have to endure the rest of this season.

They could swap about 4 others as well.

 

[Raab]

I have a feeling we see two deals, one involving RNH the other involving Klefbom.

What Id like to see:

To Clb: RNH
To Edmonton: Dubinsky+Nutivaara

To Mtl: Klefbom+Maroon
To Edm: Pacioretty+Gallagher

Makes our roster with Sekera look like:

Pacioretty-Mcdavid-Gallagher
Lucic-Draisaitl-Strome
Caggiula-Dubinsky-Slepyshev
Khaira-Letestu-Kassian

Sekera-Larsson
Nurse-Nuutivara
Russell-Benning
Auvitu

Think that would help round out the roster and clear up some of the depth issues.

I like it.. make it so Chia. I'd actually like Savard even better... even if it means throwing a little extra into the deal.

 

[Canovin]

Once the season is completely lost, I'd stop beating around the bush and go after a #1D. Right now OEL is the most available one and Klef+ should be enough to pry him out of Arizona. Everything else will be an easier fix. Build around McDavid, Drai, RNH, OEL, Larsson, Nurse, Yamamoto and Pulju. And draft one of Dahlin/Svechnikov/Boqvist/Tkachuk. We should be back on track next year

 

[McShogun99]

Thank god we’re back to talking about top3 picks again. I was starting to miss it after last year.

 

[nexttothemoon]

It's odd that the coaches refuse to play Auvitu when he leads the team in shots/60, icorsi/60, Scoringchances/60 and highdangerchances/60 among all their dmen. He's even top 4 among dmen in pts/60 on the Oilers.

I'm not saying he's the greatest dman in the NHL... but he deserves more looks as they are starving for offense and he hasn't even gotten a single second on the PP yet either.

In the 7 games he's played, the Oilers were outscored 18-21 (not great... but much better than their GF/GA record overall).

Last game he played in they won as well.

#FreeAuvitu

I can only hope alot of people enjoy their crows pie.For the last 10 yrs, i have ridden this damn bus to nowhere's and held my head proudly I am not about to jump off the bus now and no matter how they finish the season I will always be proud of the oilers ..

I don’t know how anyone can be proud of this franchise. They’ve literally put us through torture for 10 of the last 11 years.

It’s actually embarrassing to be an Oiler fan, and that’s gross. We have been the laughing stock of the NHL and probably the worst franchise in all of sports since the salary cap was introduced save a few years.

I used to love watching hockey. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s as a young kid I would think about the games all day. Now it just pisses me off. I thought last year was the end of that. Clearly not.

Exactly how I feel. I heard a stat the other week that the Islanders are the only team to have more losses than the Oilers since the year I was born. I turn 30 next year. There's been one year since I became a hockey fan at age 6 we've been good (2006), and even then we were the 8th seed. I guess last year was the best regular season I've watched in my life. And here we are back to the norm of the past 25 years.

 

[Darkwinter]

People seem to forget all the good the team has brought AND Sure WE have every right to be UPSET but I am going to ride out the storm and wear my colors with pride and if we fall we fall as one team and fan

What good has this team brought? We are a f***ing joke. For every “good” thing this team has done in the last 25 years there are 3 terrible things they have done.

Blind pride in a shitty ass hockey club doesn’t make you special.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I mean without waivers, I would send down Slepyshev for the remainder as well, though I think he gets traded
