Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread: "Manic Monday"

[Ritchie Valens]

One o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a trade
I was trying to deal Archi and maybe Kassian
Trying to clear out some salary
But it got too late
So I guess we're still stuck with them in the end.
These are the trades
I wish I had already made...

It's just another manic deadline day (Woah, woah)
I wish it was UFA day (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I spend like a drunk sailor day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic deadline day

Have to make a trade for a d-man
Try to get him here by game time
But even with Daryl's private plane
He still wouldn't make it on time
'Cause it'll take them so long (Oh, oh)
Just to get Kulak across the border
You can also blame it on the Philly train
As Brassard can't take it to Den-ver

It's just another manic deadline day (Woah, woah)
I wish it was UFA day (Woah, woah)
'Cause that's my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I spend like a drunk sailor day (Woah, woah)
It's just another manic deadline day

Deadline thread well over 1000 posts.
Deadline is past us now.
Holland got:
Kulak (Habs) at 50% retention for Lagesson and a conditional 2nd
Brassard (Flyers) for a 4th.

Continue in the other thread until a mod locks it up.

Can’t believe it, Holland didn’t have any Detroit references during his quick presser.

 

[sOiled]

4 minute presser? That was pointless

 

[RipsADrive]

Well for once I watched a Holland presser and didn't come out of it feeling even less confident than before.

Baby steps.

 

[Arpeggio]

At this point there's no point in asking him about the goaltending, he's just going to say positive things about the guys he has.

I missed it. How many references to the NHL Guide and Record book and gut feel did it contain?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Can’t believe Holland still thinks Smith is the guy

Can’t believe Holland still thinks Smith is the guy

Absolutely baffling, apparently everyone can see it but him.

He’s not going to say he was looking for upgrades and tank the confidence of the guys in the room though.

Hasek won his final cup with Detroit when he was late 30s. I guess he figures Smith is Hasek.

TBH I would’ve tried to get Ryan Carpenter instead of Brassard.

NGL the Flames are looking really strong.

 

[McDNicks17]

Anaheim killed it. That Rakell return is sweet.

Aston-Reese is a great defensive guy to help out their younger offensive guys.

 

[McDoused]

He’s not going to say he was looking for upgrades and tank the confidence of the guys in the room though.

He also never mentioned Smith specifically or called him the guy. He just said that he has confidence in all his goaltenders.

 

[McDNicks17]

TBH I would’ve tried to get Ryan Carpenter instead of Brassard.

I would have tried to get Namestnikov instead of Kulak.

 

[Cloned]

I would have tried to get Namestnikov instead of Kulak.

I think Kulak was necessary but I agree there were better forwards out there.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I would have tried to get Namestnikov instead of Kulak.

They don't even play the same position. They also didn't even cost the same assets.

That's like saying I would have tried to get Claude Giroux instead of Marc-Andre Fleury.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Friedman just said MAF wouldn't have gone to Edmonton.

 

[McDNicks17]

That's the point. If the D market was stupid, avoid it.

Could have made a much bigger impact at forward for a significantly cheaper price instead.

 

[Cloned]

Friedman just said MAF wouldn't have gone to Edmonton.

That’s a relief because there was a earlier report that he would’ve. Which would’ve made me angry that we didn’t trade for him.

Why is Oilers media such a clown show

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

He's a fan blogger not accredited media.

Leavins knows that he’s getting triggered over some random guy’s comments right?

lol, at least he admits to breaking a promise. Good way to attract future players here.
