GDT: "Canada Day Massacre" | Free Agent Frenzy | 7.1.19 | 10 AM MST

Why not try and get Anders Lee? I’m probably pretty sure Oilers didn’t talk to him, but a left field offer might get his attention.

 

[Seachd]

He mentioned it more with bewilderment rather than a tone of knowing anything.

Ahh, the "Matheson".

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I'm not sure how many players have scored 20+ goals and then signed the following off-season for any less than that

Because the player who did it was a PTO and is nearly 30 not 24

 

[PaPaDee]

So many doom and gloom, sky is falling posts. We as a group have really turned into one of the worst fanbases.

We have good reason to be given the organizations ineptitude.

Look at Holland’s history of trades.

 

[The Safe Play]

I bet Chiasson took less to come here. Prices are crazy high. Insane to think you will get him for less than 2.

 

[McJadeddog]

This is fine deal. It he gets another 20 goals, this will be a great deal.

There is about a 2% chance of that happening. Career high in shooting% last year. 12-15 is what we should expect.

 

[CycloneSweep]

If Oil signs Maroon, Pirri, and Jaskin I will somewhat forgive Holland

We need 3 more bottom 6 wingers?

 

[3IR]

Stauffer origanally said Holland had a lot of balls in the air, more than he thought.....wonder what those were?

connoly, Smith, nyquist, boyle, chiasson, granlund, sekera buyout, etc, were all being considered I assume.

 

[DaGap]

We need 3 more bottom 6 wingers?

Heck Ya their like Pokemon to the Oilers Management

 

[McDraekke]

Nuge walking is an absolute possibility and right now looks like a guarentee.

You have no idea, talking like this is just stirring up shit for no reason.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

OMG!! lol

Just when you thought this day couldn't get any worse. Wow. That is a ridiculous deal.

Lol that’s a fair deal. What are you talking about?

 

[Spawn]

Granlund is an upgrade in the bottom 6 in the same way that Petrovic and Manning were an upgrade on defense.

 

[XXIV97]

We have like...10 roster players signed for next year. 15 mill is nothing.

McDavid +Draisaitl + RNH = 1/2 Top 6 F
Klefbom + Nurse +Larsson =3/4 Top 4 D
Bouchard + Jones = 1 Top 6 D
Benson + Kharia + Chiasson + Mardy = 1/2 Bottom 6.

We just need to aquire a top 6 F in a trade then sign depth offensive guys. Goaltending may need to be reevaluated.

 

[McDraekke]

Give the man more than a few hours holy shit.

 

[Rufus Aslegard]

Good character guy. Big, skates well. 2 million for 15 goals sounds about right.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So it's only absurd according to your future prophecy...based on his last season it's a fair deal.

Given his career he's far more likely to not score 10 then score 20 again

 

[Skolman]

Kreider would be a great fit.


Hard to be upset with Holland today, Chia left him with such a mess.

I'm perfectly okay with not signing any big names today, our focus should be unloading the Lucic, Russell, and Manning contracts.

 

[booyakasha]

woke up this morning to sunshine, then free agancy started, an it clouded over, and is raining..

 

[CycloneSweep]

You have no idea, talking like this is just stirring up **** for no reason.

A skilled top 6 center not having a single top 6 NHL winger to play with for the 3rd year in a row. Yes thinking he will walk if this continues is just stirring shit up. Give me a break.

 

[McJadeddog]

Get real man. I love Sekera but what has he done the last 2 years? Nothing. He has been injured. Maybe consider looking past today and consider what may happen in the future. So what if the Oilers are in a playoff race at the trade deadline? What if at that time they need to fill some holes left due to injuries? That is when the cap space will be valuable. Losing a player that never plays is not DISASTROUS. I just dont get this kind of post. It is just so narrow minded.

If you think the Oilers are going to be in the playoff race at the trade deadline, then I don't think we have much more to discuss. This is, another, bottom-10 finish for this team. No doubt about it.

 

[joestevens29]

Only then scary about Granlund is we thought the same last year with Reider. A guy who we thought was going to be fired up with the chance to play with a fellow countrymen.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Doesn't take much to excite you...well, at least someone is happy Lol

That's actually a compliment. Cheers

 

[Skolman]

Why not try and get Anders Lee? I’m probably pretty sure Oilers didn’t talk to him, but a left field offer might get his attention.

Because he is going to get overpaid?

 

[McVirginOil]

We need 3 more bottom 6 wingers?

Yes because we have AHL players in our bottom 6 (I’m being serious).

 

[dem]

We gonna be so bad
