Rumor: Oilers Want a Veteran Defenseman

[DingDongCharlie]

What would the Oilers have to add to Campbell for Risto? Philly perhaps doesn't mind dead cap. Oilers probably don't mind another physical force on their back end during playoffs.

Rather have Campbell in the A than Risto on NHL playoff ice. Hard pass

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Chad Ruhwedel is all yours for whatever the f*** and some shit.

Y'dun goofed.

Jack Campbell is yours.

And I'm not even an Oilers fan

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Wouldn't a veteran D want to go to a contender?

2/10

low effort

 

[Three On Zero]

Wouldn't a veteran D want to go to a contender?

Depends, have they won a cup? Do they want to start golfing a little later when the greens are nice? Edmonton blew the move valuable asset they had, so it’s likely a veteran depth guy

 

[Mrs Crosby's Dryer]

Idiot Sullivan would never consider or allow it, but Chad Ruhwedel would give them an incredibly vanilla depth piece with some playoff experience.

 

[Gravity]

Savard is the perfect piece for Edmonton. Veteran shot blocking D with a ring.

 

[GCK]

Travis Hamonic is a veteran and a Defenceman. Which door do I drop him off at ?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Please take brendan smith

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Take Trouba. You don't have to give us anything. Just take him.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Y'dun goofed.

Jack Campbell is yours.

And I'm not even an Oilers fan

I second this.

 

[dogbazinho]

Take Pesce please.

 

[Darkwinter]

Take Trouba. You don't have to give us anything. Just take him.

HELL NO

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

HELL NO

It was worth a shot.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

We will happily give them Barrie back

Came in to post exactly this. Well done

Won’t cost ya more than a half-used roll of tape

 

[OVO16]

Sounds like Edmundson

 

[racamdim]

Colin Miller.

Kenny is gonna have to get creative. Here’s something that works on paper. For those who don’t think Holland would be interested, you haven’t followed Kenny’s career as a manager, and what type of dmen he values as role players..

Justin Holl at $1.7 million, with Klim Kostin coming back to Edmonton as well, at $1 million.

He can use Foegele going the other way, and it works with the cap. Same money in and out, but he gets a RHD role playing dman for 2 years at $1.7, AND a player he knows who fits in very well for two more playoffs at $1 million. Detroit could use Foegele to take Kostin’s spot this year.

Detroit has Vrana coming off the books. So retaining the $2 million next year isn’t a big deal.

Now, what else does Kenny send?? It will cost more than just Foegele….. You’d have to make it worth it for Yzerman sending you 2 years of good, cheap, depth.

 

[Smitty426]

Colin Miller.

Yep

Holl and Kostin have both been busts in Detroit. Big pass.

 

[Coffey]

Drew Doughty in the biggest trade of the decade.

It's really not for someone born in the 1950's. That used to be a very common phrase when referring to buying something or making a transaction.

Born in 75, hear variations of this expression all the time in my business life.

I guess it just depends on your circle.

 

[thewookie1]

Foegele and a 5th for Erik Johnson(50%)

 

[Czechboy]

Sounds like Jan Rutta's music.lol

 

[Double Dion]

Forever an Oiler Oesterle is a veteran who is available.
