Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | OILERS Edition, Flames Talk Stays in the Out of Town Thread

[bobbythebrain]

Ryan McLeod is somewhere in Edmonton WTF'ing.

Foegele for Bishop needs to happen.

He's probably contemplating Tonya Harding' Foegle right about now

 

[94 Oil Drops]

well our top 5 are locked in more or less

Nurse
Bouchard
Kulak
Barrie
Ceci

with Triple K, Broberg and Murrey trying for 6/7

I wonder how Dmitri Samorukov and Markus Niemelainen are feeling right now. I am higher on both then some around here and I was hoping one would break camp with the team this fall

Deslauriers is another guy that intrigues me. I wonder if he'll turn into something before long. From what I've heard, he's a fair bit like Niemelainen.

I mean, just showing up the Camp would be the equivalent lol

 

[Biltmore]

Nemo and Sammy sure are lightweights for their height. Kinda surprised they weigh so little.

do you mean Vincent Desharnais? Sorry. Not sure who Deslauries is. Was he draft pick or a signing?

or do you mean Nic Deslauriers who signed with the flyers?

 

[Biltmore]

we already have one uninsured contract on LTIR we do not need another. Like Klefbom--Bishops contract is not insured

Katz Kash!

 

[ThePhoenixx]

And Stauffer just confirmed it now LOL. Next couple hours, a Dman who has played #4-5 before who was highly touted and then said "you can pretty much guess who it is"

Something has to give. This will put them over the salary cap. They still need to sign McLeod.

I think this means bare minimum that Derek Ryan, Broberg, Desharnais and Koekkoek start in the minors unless a trade happens. Then they run 11-7.

 

[Proko88]

Haha, Toronto’s not the only team with a cup winning “Murray” on their team! Now LFG!

Broberg and Holloway will be on the opening day roster. If not they cost us their full amount including bonuses if we want to call them up during the year.

 

[Soundwave]

Does that mean they have to play opening night or can they be sent down immediately after submitting the opening day roster?

Yes, sorry I was talking about Vincent Desharnais. lol

 

[joestevens29]

That I'm not 100% sure. But I feel it could be a quick turnaround

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Agreed on Holloway.

Capfriendly currently have the Oilers at $82.5 Million. Right at the top of the Salary cap. They have 11 forwards signed. Holloway will replace Shore. They still need to sign McLeod. That's why Derek Ryan has to go down to make room for McLeod. That leaves then 11 forwards.

Samorukov is the only D-man not Waiver exempt. Do you think Broberg will hit his bonuses? Are they hard to obtain? Send down Koekkoek and only keep Samorukov and the Oilers run 7 D-men. 11F - 7D - 2G.

20 man roster.

That will leave them Cap compliant.

 

[belair]

Might as well PTO Galchenyuk so we can say the entire top four in the 2012 draft suited up for us.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

Didn't Gazzola more or less guarantee Gagner was coming here on a PTO? Wonder if he just chose the guaranteed money, or was Gazzola wrong again?

Live footage of Samwise informing Tom of the signing......

 

[McBooya42]

Whether or not it's insured only matters to Katz' pocketbook, no?

True, and only for one more year.

Deslauriers is another guy that intrigues me. I wonder if he'll turn into something before long. From what I've heard, he's a fair bit like Niemelainen.

Guy keeps breaking expectations and moving forward. He may well make it to the big show ( Vincent Desharnais)

Add Sprong and Virtanen
Trade Foegele for Bishop
Sign McLeod

I would give Holland an A+ offseason if he could get it done.

Sam Gagner has signed with the Winnipeg Jets

There will be no Sam Gagner homecoming this season. <!--more-->...

Koekkoek had some personal issues when he went to Bakersfield (which as far as I know were never talked about or revealed).

I don't even know if 4K is really in the Oilers plans at this stage which might be another reason they added Murray... just to have another vet dman body in the system if Sammy/Broberg/Niemo turn out to be pretty poor in the #6 roles they'll be getting throughout this season.

They need a decent LHD for that 3rd pairing... your #6 dman is probably going to play 13-15 minutes a night (based on ice times that Neimo/Broberg/Russell got last season)... so you need a decently dependable dman in that spot.

It's not like a #12 forward who basically will play less than 10 minutes a night and isn't going to have as big an impact on the games... whereas a dman who shits the bed is almost certainly going to result in goals against on the scoreboard.

 

[Rengorlex]

WTF do these numbers even mean. "44,90" -0,73. This isn't even numerical notation of any discernible type and theres no indication what the columns mean or what these heiroglyphic *numbers* mean.

Oh look Draisaitl is 48/8^&#*/238-23. Oh wow...

Some turds name a site "Clear site analytics" and then proceed to pump out indecipherable gibberish. Maybe it could be called "unclear nonsense to waste your time"

Oh, come on. NHL teams use that data, it's a respected private analytics company.

NHL quality depth at 750k isn’t a bad thing

I actually like it. Losing Klefbom like we did is a severe kick in the knapsack by the hockey gods . Maybe they owe us one and Murray turns into that Dman drafted #2 at 28. 1 year contract. Let’s roll the dice

 

[Hockeylife2018]

Nemo and Sammy sure are lightweights for their height. Kinda surprised they weigh so little.

My god someone buy nemo a sandwich or something....no reason to be less then 220 at that height....

 

[Aerchon]

I like Nemo but him not being waiver eligible makes it a tough go with Sammy needing waivers to go down. Only ways I see Nemo as the 7D to start is (aside from injuries), Sammy has a horrible camp or is traded

I see the opening D lineup as:

Nurse - Ceci
Kulak - Bouchard
Murray - Barrie
Samorukov

Didnt realize Niem was still waiver exempt. Changes things considerably.

If Niem doesn't get a lot of NHL games this year, which since he is exempt I don't expect at least he should get some good AHL time. Whether Broberg or Niems that development time is valuable. I hope neither is sitting in the stands much this year.

Make this year most important for Sammy I suppose.

 

[Oilers in NS]

do you mean Vincent Desharnais? Sorry. Not sure who Deslauries is. Was he draft pick or a signing?

or do you mean Nic Deslauriers who signed with the flyers?

I’m thinking he means that Desharnais. Can u imagine have that duo out there, Niemelainen and Desharnais? If they become NHL capable Dmen, would look some impressive
