Pitchforks to the left. Torches to the right. Remember to grab protective head gear.

Where do we go if we want to get both?

"from left to right" - Jack Michaels

 

[The Safe Play]

RNH for Barrie
RNH for Dumba + 2nd

are my guesses.

I only like one of these.

Lowe's.

 

[McDrailers]

Lowe's.

I boycott that business based off name alone.

If it's Dumba, I'll fly from stage 7 right back to stage 3 on the 7 stages of grief.

Has there been a tweet or something saying RNH is likely to be traded for a defensemen? You guys are going crazy with those RNH proposals haha.

Rishaug speculated that Dumba is still on the table from Minny although Edmonton probably passes, and I think he also speculated Barrie.

Put me in the "Yakupov may breakout next year" camp.

I'm not completely buying the "he was bullied by the kids" stories but even Stauffer has mentioned that Yak struggled to fit into the group because of cultural and religious differences.

Yak has shown flashes and if the best we're getting for him is a 3rd rounder, it makes no sense to move him. At the very least give him another year and who knows...maybe he can replace Hall's production.

We do know Yak also has the ability to be a driver.

 

[Jumptheshark]

So everyone done burning the place down

 

[snipes]

If we got Barrie that would be ****ing unreal

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Barrie
Davidson-Gryba/Fayne

That's a playoff calibre top 4.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Is Oilers Now on at noon again?

[Spawn]

Is Oilers Now on at noon again?

Yep. Every monday-friday.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Hmm. Don't like that at all but at the same time I can see that it would've driven up McDavid's contract demands.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Completely logical.

Tying 20 million into two players after McDavid's ELC expires would make it very difficult to build a championship team.

 

[WaitingForUser]

What time is FA open tomorrow?

 

[PBandJ]

$9 million is a lot for guy who I'd say there are questions about regarding if he can handle the West.

If Chiarelli had decided sooner that he was willing to move Hall, return may have been better.....

@TSNRyanRishaug 31s32 seconds ago
I believe Jones or Hamonic may have been doable in straight up deals. Timing is critical, once PC decided, deals may have looked different


Now this STINGS.

I think we'd all prefer Seth Jones to Larsson.

It's also very difficult to build a championship team without a bonafide #1 d-man.

But the Isles didn't want Hall and the Predators wanted a center.

Best way to get one is to draft and develop. MTL's asking price was huge.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Did Rishaug tweet that Hall is has been available since last December?

 

[The Safe Play]

Yeah, Jones > Larsson > Hamonic.

With that said Larsson is a better defender than Jones might be closer than we think.

RNH for Barrie would be great, RNH for Dumba without Coyle coming back, loss.
