Jimmy Murphy on twitter regarding Hall

"Talk to any of Hall's former teammates and get back to me! Every team deals with injuries. Leaders and stars, which Hall claims to be, guide them through it."

I don't think I understand his point, is he suggesting Hall lead the Yotes to victory more despite injuries? Should he play goal too? Like Hall has some warts, but this is pretty stupid.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

I thought It already came out that he was willing to move it

From how I read it, that was just a lot of speculation and hearsay.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I think I’ve figured out the delay for the Oilers.

LTIR space doesn’t kick in until a player hits 24 days and 10 games missed.

Would you believe me if I said both Neal and Russell hit that guideline the day before the trade deadline? Cause that’s the case.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

or maybe he helps them get to the Conference Finals in a weak Pacific division and they re-sign Pageau and it's not a rental

either way, yes it's risky but Holland owes it to these players who are battling their bag off...to get help

But any player brought in to help would be a replacement for the players currently "battling their bag off" once this team is healthy

interesting...

but if Neal is ready to back from LTIR, his cap hit is back on the books

I don't know if I should feel more excited for the deadline now or feel dread for the next 3 days after knowing this

 

[McShogun99]

Not Middlestadt hopefully, according to reports out of Buffalo he's been a disaster.

So was O Reilly. We should all know by now that playing on a really bad team makes players look worse. We need to start poaching players like that now.

from what Tippett said yesterday he’s still going to be weeks. Russell is closer, skating this morning

We’ll see if the Oilers capologist can figure out what random guy on the internet with a CBA PDF figured out haha

well yeah

but I think this team is proving a lot with their injuries, so trading for a bigger piece would make sense
(for the record, I really doubt Pageau is coming here if Holland refuses to give up a first...also cap hit is a major concern)

I will no argue this point, because it's tends to be true. If the Yotes are considering moving Hall, the Oilers need to call and hopefully get to talk to him about a reasonable extension.

is any case, I heard Gregor say yesterday that the only way they get cap relief on Neal is if they LTIR for the rest of the season, then bring him back for the playoffs

It wouldn't matter because it;s still a temporary thing. Unless their LTIR carries said player to the end of regular season.

Hawks did this with Kane few years back. His injury put him on LTIR and gave them ~10m in cap space. But they could only use this route because they knew he would only return in playoffs and playoffs technically has no cap.

 

[Raab]

Don’t believe everything you hear. For long term help maybe, he’s not moving it for a rental. Out of Ottawa for example the guy we’d need to get back is Tkachuk.

 

[Raab]

And Puljujarvi hasn’t?

 

[KarmaPolice]

I want Pageau!
Pretty please, Mr. Holland.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

And Puljujarvi hasn’t?

Different kind of disaster. Puljujarvi, has struggled at the NHL level, but shown talent, is playing VERY well in Finland and wants out. Middlestadt had marginal success in his time as a teenager, and now he's struggling to even be effective at the AHL level. We're talk becoming a suspect disaster.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

not this year...leading his team in points

 

[The Nuge]

is any case, I heard Gregor say yesterday that the only way they get cap relief on Neal is if they LTIR for the rest of the season, then bring him back for the playoffs

that wouldn’t be terrible if you could get a guy like Pageau. Basically, fill Neal’s role for the rest of the regular season, and then you suddenly add a 25 goal guy for playoffs. Then Neal is coming back 100%, and hungry. It also saves us a 3rd which offsets the cost of whoever we bring in

find a comfy spot on Robidas Island for Neal - cap issue solved

Deja Vu. People said this about Yamamoto when he wasn't lighting up the A.

 

[jeg]

Ii really feel like we could move our 1st out if a LW is avaialbe with term

Holland must see the strength of our 2nd line and know he needs to find Connor someone to play with

If Montreal is selling Tatar should be on our radar along with other high end available LW

Ennis is fine i suppose but he isnt moving the needle

It’s not like he’s been brutal in the AHL. Year younger then Puljujarvi as well.

Plays center also. Awhile back I was talking to a Sabres fan and he felt that he just needed confidence and to get his man strength to succeed. I'd make that trade.
