Rumor: OEL Trade

[RWatson29]

Friedman just mentioned that coyotes are trying to work out a trade for Ekman-Larsson. If they come to terms on a trade they’ll see if he’ll accept to go there.

If I remember from last season, Edmonton, Boston, and Vancouver were all interested in him. OEL prefers Boston and Vancouver.

So he's going to Boston

Benning about to get that contract.

 

[Ishad]

This off-season is going to be great. So many teams poised to make bad moves.

 

[RWatson29]

Yeah I remember him saying only Boston or Vancouver last year. Friedman said this year they’re going to just check the market and if they find a partner they’ll ask OEL if he’ll waive

 

[CherryToke]

Gonna cost them a lot to dump that albatross contract

 

[780il]

Jim Benning bout to acquire a horrible contract when they’re already having trouble paying the young guys lol

Yup, Vancouver has no cap space and Edmonton still doesn't have any answers on Klefbom's health.

I’ll bet it won’t, they’ll get a first for sure and likely more.

A team like Boston is hurting badly for defense. It’s basically McAvoy at this point since Carlo is always hurt and everyone else on their backend is pretty meh.

Benning about to get that contract.

From what Friedman just laid out, It's neither Boston or Vancouver.

Anyways, this is my Oilers offer:

James Neal (2 years left @ 5.75 M) + Kyle Turris (1 year left @ 1. 65 M) = 7.4 M
+
Caleb Jones + 2021 1st Round Draft Pick + Cooper Marody

for OEL

Man, just imagining Boston with OEL, Eichel, and Hall somehow magically fitting into their roster suddenly they've found a way to turn back the clock a few years yet again.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

EOL should consider the Islanders.

Maybe even the Kraken for that matter.

 

[Gstank]

They will probably get a future first and have to take back a cap dump. Unless they are willing to add pieces to get more value

 

[StickShift]

If Vancouver: watch it be for something around Schmidt for OEL

Some fantastic quantity in that trade. The vakue works, the return though lacks what's going to fit their needs though.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

bah god that's jim benning's music

For the unteenth time we have no problems paying the young guys. the only way we will run into cap problems is if they want max term deals which isnt whats going to happen. Petey deal is looking like 3/4 years Hughes looking like 4/5

 

[lawrence]

Offer is lower due to oel having a bad season. My gosh they should have just accepted the offer of Virtanen Sutter 1st, 2nd call it a day. Benning had no cap room and it’s lookin really lonely with the yote not having a 1st.

EOL should consider the Islanders.

Maybe even the Kraken for that matter.

The only way the ISLES can afford OEL, Is if Bill Armstrong takes on their trash for him.

What are Arizona's needs? The Oilers really only have D and G prospects.

Friedman just said that it would've to be to a team that OEL would be willing to waive to, He already said yes to both Boston and Vancouver. So my bet it's probably Edmonton with Klefbom's uncertainty.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Boston is going to sign Hall and then trade him for OEL, then Hall will he refuse to report to AZ and they will trade him back to Boston for a 5th rounder.

Didn't he already turn down Edmonton last season?
