Rumor: Rumour and Proposals Thread: Time for Holland to get Kraken

[AddyTheWrath]

I wonder who AZ goes for with the pick now?

Considering their first pick in the draft last year, Logan Mailloux.

 

[Frank the Tank]

They also added the problem of signing RFA Garland to their problem of signing RFAs Hughes and Pettersson.

Spicy shit show Fridays

Every contract going to Arizona is up next summer. OEL has six years left.

Yeah but there's expires in 1 year. It would be like trading Koskinen for Jeff Skinner.

Yeah got it. Idk I had it rooted in my brain that Eriksson was signed for another 3 years.

That OEL contract already sucks.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

You have to be incredibly myopic to think Vancouver did well here. Three expiring contracts for one of the biggest boat anchor contracts in the league, and it's not like they need the immediate cap space to compete.

This makes no sense for Vancouver.

I agree here, I am not sure this trade makes sense for Vancouver, oh well.

 

[Draiskull]

Arizona is the bad cap dumping ground right now. There isn’t always a team willing to be that. Holland should see if they have anymore room for Kosko and Neal, although we probably can’t afford the assets to convince em.

ARI is having a great offseason. Short term cap dumps mean nothing to them. They just offloaded OEL contract and acquired a top pick.

 

[McAsuno]

Arizona, can we interest you in James Neal and Mikko Koskinen?

 

[CornKicker]

Yeah but theirs expires in 1 year. It would be like trading Koskinen for Jeff Skinner.

not funny, keep that manifesting BS outta here please

 

[McJadeddog]

Lmfao how did we NOT lose that trade.

We gave up assets for a rapidly declining player that takes up way to much cap room.

Again that trade isn’t a loss if CHI retains salary, but they didn’t so it is.

Exactly, we lost that trade. Everybody knows we got royally screwed over

 

[Del Preston]

Vancouver fans are mad. Go read their trade thread.

 

[duul]

The trade makes sense for Vancouver because they are going for it. They have a pretty good team honestly. If OEL plays as well as some think he can, then they are a better team than we are today. Goaltending could put them on a run.

Teams are seeing what Montreal was capable of.

 

[Oilhawks]

How did Benning get rid of all his bad contracts at once before Holland?

By trading a bunch of bad contracts that expire the end of the season for one that expires in 6

 

[5 14 6 1]

They needed cap space right now for Pettersson.

They need to re sign Petey, Hughes and Garland all. That 12M (roussel, beagle, Eriksson) was going to vanish next year off the books. Now they just added an extra 8.25 til 2027 and gave away their 9th overall pick.

All the cap savings are going to be paid straight to Garland..

Honestly not sure what to make of the deal. I think AZ wins here.

 

[Oilhawks]

They also added the problem of signing RFA Garland to their problem of signing RFAs Hughes and Pettersson.

Boeser has gotta be good as gone now

 

[CornKicker]

OEL is still a top 4 dman in this league

hughes - myers
schmidt - OEL
Edler - XXX

with demko behind them makes them a problem in our division

 

[McAsuno]

Vancouver fans are mad. Go read their trade thread.

Hopefully that nuck fans who's always in every oiler thread like a parasite f***s off to their boards for a bit due to this trade

 

[Seachd]

I feel so bad for Arizona fans. That team is going to be something else.

Although good for the team to get out of that entire contract. I didn’t think it could be done.

 

[McOvechking]

Vancouver fans are mad. Go read their trade thread.

Rightfully so. They should have just waited one more year for those contracts to expire.

Teams are seeing what Montreal was capable of.

To me they slightly upgraded Edler and added Garland.

Better? Maybe, but contender? No way. To me this doesn't make them materially better.

Schmidt is gone and OEL will never play on his offside. Rumour is Edler is gone as well (unless they pay up)

Also Tyler Myers is overpaid trash. People don’t mind him here because we’re one of the only teams he ever scores against for whatever reason

 

[Old Boys Club]

I would bet on Kessel and Kuemper being moved as well for picks + cap dumps

For 6 years at 8.25? That's really really bad.

 

[Ruok]

The trade being ok or really bad depends on the quality of hockey OEL plays in the next 3 or so seasons. If he rebounds it could look pretty smart, if he continues to regress it will look horrible. Vancouver fans seem pissed

Agree and makes it worse longer term...
