Proposal: Rumor and Proposal Thread: Mod warning 793

Just walk away from Schultz and pay Byfuglien.

Schultz at 4.5 if he looks solid and learns to play defense for 2-4 years would be fine.

No thank you. Buff is the perfect candidate for a regrettable long term contract. 6 mill for 6 years and he falls off and gets fat after 2. He isn't young either.

Byfuglien is already fat, but fair point. As long as they don't sign Schultz long-term I'll be happy. Although, I don't see that happening anyways with Chiarelli here.

we should all be cheering for San Jose to fall apart this season. That way a player like Burns might suddenly be available.

I know I'm hoping for it and I think it's a real possibility. Unproven goalie in Jones, new HC in Deboer who I don't think is a very good coach. Marleau/Thornton a year older. Another year missing the playoffs and they might decide to sell some pieces off.

6M/yr for 7 years for Erik Johnson. That's a really nice deal for a guy who anchors their blueline.

I was thinking the same thing, though I wonder if he took a little less because of injury history (as the morning show suggested).

Either way, sets a nice standard.

Overall it's a deal that had to be done and is quite fair, but the Avs better hope EJ can stay healthy.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Keeping my fingers crossed that the Oilers can toss Purcell (@50%) and a 4th to the Yotes for a 5th.

Just kind of make some space.

With Arizona's ownership woes taking a turn for the worse I cannot imagine the Coyotes being in a financial position to add more salary this season.

Too bad you can't trade him and keep the salary.

Just waive him in that case

Ya, he's not elite by any means, but he's a solid #1 dman, so it's hard to argue with that caphit

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Fingers crossed.

 

[backhandsauce]

I wonder if there will be any worth while waiver wire pick ups for the Oiler's this year. Maybe a Purcell and Klinkhammer replacement?

If leon makes the team my money is on purcell going down

Klinkhammer has already been replaced internally.
If you go to the line combos thread you won't see his name in many starting lineups

Klink will either be on the farm to start the year or traded or lost on waivers

he is not on the 23 man roster

From all the reports Byfuglien has come into the camp in top shape. Contract year is probably a big factor but declaring him fat isnt really being fair .
Also, if we can give a 6 yrx 5.5M deal to Sekera .. why fear 6x6 to a real difference maker like Byfuglien

Think Oscar Lindberg on the Rags will have to pass waivers if they want to assign him.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'm probably the only Klinkhammer supporter left. I think he's underrated in terms of what he brings... he's physical, can stay healthy.. is decent defensively and he has better hands than people think. He obviously not elite offensively... but in a 4th line role... he's fine.

He's a proven NHL vet and you know exactly what you're getting when he's in the lineup. I'd definitely have him on the 23 man roster because he's a solid utility forward... but yes I can see him being waived and possibly picked up by another club.

Oilers have Pitlick/Pakarinen who play a somewhat similar role as well... so losing Klinkhammer wouldn't be terrible... but again I think he's a solid depth player and obviously with how soft the entire lineup is already, losing a proven physical player isn't really something positive.

I have no issue with a $6M x 6 deal for Buff, though I doubt he'd sign that in Edmonton. But he will be 37 at the end of that deal to Sekera's 34. Given Buff's typically carrying a lot of weight it is a serious question as to how he will be at the end of that deal.
