Wow! We made MegaThread 3!

 

[Del Preston]

Is it still either Vancouver or Boston, or did one of those teams drop out?

Edmonton, Calgary, and St. Louis are teams who were reported to be interested but not on OEL's list.

 

[Grub]

YES we can, Make Arizona great again!

We have Eriksson, the Sutters, Roussel and even Beagle. Please take your pick Arizona as a complement to this deal. It’s in the house.

Boston doesn't seem interested.

It's either Vancouver or Arizona at this point.

Speculation: - OEL trade megathread part 2

Here are some of the key proposals from the last thread:

Those are your “key” proposals that you took out of that whole thread haha? Typical.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

So much for it looking like it could get done tonight, I would be shocked

 

[StickShift]

I am eagerly looking forward to the next vague tweet from a radio reporter that may or may not tell us that things may or may not happen.

"I'm getting the sense that things have stalled out. I don't think there's a deal to be made. It's too complicated"

30 seconds later from the same people

"OEL has definitely played his last game in AZ"


Obviously, both are true

We are not spending enough time talking about the Quantum Mechanics of a possible OEL trade.

Every time each of us hit refresh, we are creating a superposition where OEL is both traded and not traded. Peak Schrödinger's Ekman-Larsson.

 

[HoseEmDown]

My guess

Eriksson
Demko
Juolevi
Beagle
Virtanen
1st
3rd

For

Ekman-Larsson

Vancouver cap out 11.36 with Virtanen needing to be signed. Arizona out 8.25. Cash out for next season Vancouver 5.23M with Virtanen needing to he signed. Arizona 4M. Arizona adds salary and cap but almost fills out the rest of the roster for cheaper than they could in the free agent route. OEL gets Arizona a 1st + 3rd + Virtanen, they get Demko to take Eriksson and Juolevi to take Beagle. Arizona trades Raanta 50% retained for a 2nd next season and Goligoski for picks and they restock their picks and get good young players in Virtanen, Demko and Juolevi who are similar aged to guys like Chychrun, Schmaltz, Dvorak and Crouse.

They are literally his proposals. Super cringe.

It's either cringe or absolutely hysterical. I can't read his mind to figure out which.

 

[Peter Griffin]

I enjoy the addition of the irrelevant Jalen Chatfield.

Bookmarked! Who'll be laughing when he's outscoring OEL next year!? ALL of us, that's who!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Still nothing?

I’ll check back in 20mins.

 

[vanarchy]

You might miss it, come back in 5.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

At this point I think it’s more likely OEL remains a Coyote than him changing teams.

A bit unnecessarily complicated imo. And I don't think Canuck fans will like it. I'd take Beagle out as he's a pretty redundant piece (easy enough to find a competent 4c in this market) and isn't necessary to make the money work. Demko is probably a non-starter as well, and Arizona might prefer to run Raanta/Hill anyway and deal Kuemper (he should fetch the better package)

Canuck fans probably are 50/50 on including Hoglander, as they're high on him and will need contributors on ELCs but I think his inclusion here would probably get it close to done

So something resembling Virtanen/Eriksson/Juolevi/Hoglander/1st. Maybe take out the 3rd, but I don't think it's worth making a sticking point. However you wanna break that down, I think the inclusion of a couple nice pieces more or less cancels out the inclusion of Eriksson AND constitutes a reasonable package for OEL

Be kind, Arizona fans

We've had it roughly around there the whole time.

Literally the only thing fans can't agree on is the quality of the prospect. Canucks fans naturally want to defend Pod/Hoglander and Coyotes fans naturally want to ask for that caliber of player.

I don't think they're serious offers... or at least I hope they're not....

He also doesn't really want OEL I believe

Personally I don't know that I'd do it, but it turns negative c(r)ap into positive and shores up that left side long term.

I also think the OEL contract will age ok, and that he could very well rebound in a more.... healthy.... environment and a different system (no offense)

If I'm Armstrong, I probably don't take less.... failing the much ballyhooed mandate from ownership to clear salary, of which I myself am skeptical

 

[mouz135]

Draft’s over, let’s get some movement.

Or news.

I wasn't really talking about the quality (or lack thereof) of the proposals

I just meant quoting his own posts and only his own posts from the other thread and leaving them unattributed as "some of the key proposals from the last thread".

It's either unironically cringey or its intentionally amusing, and I don't know which was his intent.
