Rumor: Rumor & Proposals: Is this real life or is this fantasy

[The Safe Play]

I would be shocked if it's 6x6.

Lucic obviously wants to maximize his earnings but I doubt he's signing longterm here if the end goal is not to be part of a championship team.

My guess: 6 years x 5.5 million.

This was my initial guess as well.

 

[Faelko]

6*6 is my guest

if it was 5.2 he would still be a king

I think it was the term. LA only wanted 4 years

 

[Aceboogie]

What really gets me is how everyone scolded us for years to trade some of our shiny forwards for Dmen, and now that it looks like this is going to happen, they are mocking us for doing the thing they have been pleading with us to do for forever.

DOES NOT COMPUTE.

2013: "Oilers are so small and weak, they NEED Lucic, give up everything oyu have"
2016:"LOL Lucic LOLOLOL"

Ill wait and see the $ to see if its bad, but honestly knowing Chiarelli hes going to swing this for cheap. Oilers will give Lucic a NMC (we are able) and get a big discount

 

[Arpeggio]

I have no idea what Chia's plan is. All I know is that adding Lucic and subtracting nothing makes this forward group very weird. Without trading anything, could go like this?

Hall - Drai - Maroon
Lucic - McDavid - Ebs
Pouliot - RNH - Puljujarvi

That gets one strong forechecker on every line, and protects Puljujarvi a bit too. I mean, chances are someone's getting moved out, but this is how I'd see the depth chart shaking out at the moment.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This was my initial guess as well.

Could you imagine the outcry if the Oilers got Lucic at something like $30M over 6 years, oh the tears.

 

[SPIRIT]

From Staple's Edmonton Journal article -- that right wing depth, woof, Yakupov!

 

[gordonhught]

Boy, Lucic can really throw 'em.

 

[Gretzky to Kurri]

Yes. Trade him for the best defenseman you can get.

Atmosphere around dressing room is better without him.

Just ask Yak.

Yes. If I could qualify "the best defenseman you can get" is a deal involving an elite d-man, then I totally agree.

 

[Joey Moss]

Curtis Stock tweeting Demers will be an Oiler too.

 

[PinSeeker]

Demers now too, wow!

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

Got demers too apparently... hope he's right

 

[ResilientBeast]

Boy, Lucic can really throw 'em.

If we had Lucic when Connor got injured, man oh man it would've been mayhem

 

[gordonhught]

Curtis Stock tweeting Demers will be an Oiler too.

Well, I guess that Chia is remaking the team.

the only way i could foresee putting yak over korpi on a depth chart is by falling ass-first into a typewriter.

 

[ResilientBeast]

So either Hall or Pouliot is gone right? We only have ~10 million in space

We'll see what happens with Yak...one interesting tidbit that came out of today's Oilers Now was them talking about Chiarelli's sound bite regarding not being aware of any Yakupov trade request. Spector was certain that this tune change is due to Chiarelli seeing that there is absolutely no market for Yakupov, and rather than give him away for nothing is paving the road for the possibility that he will be back next year.

I could see it happen.

 

[Aceboogie]

I swear man.... Rogers Place has a spell on it. 2 ufas verbally agreed to deals before July 1st. unreal

McDavids Temple

 

[Chayos]

Hall and RNH for Pietrangelo and Sbodka

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Curtis Stock tweeting Demers will be an Oiler too.

Productive day for the Oilers.

 

[McPuritania]

I enjoyed this way too much.

Watching him make Landeskog look like a scared little ***** made me giggle.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Not so sure he wanted to play in LA.

This.

My sense is that he wants to play in a hockey hotbed.

Plus, the Kings for all of their past success are in a bit of trouble. Brown's contract is awful, Gaborik looks done, and they have the NHL's worst prospect pool.

 

[PaPaDee]

Ugh, not particularly thrilled with that.

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

How legit is curtis stock???

 

[PinSeeker]

Now DJ bean saying Lucic rumor is BS... Roller Coaster...

 

[Aceboogie]

Demers is a big get. Dude is west proven. Larsson and Hamonic.. good D but never know due to pathetic East.

Gunna be awesome. Now get a offensive D please. Barrie specifically
