Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Previous Poll Punted, Pristine Prospect Procurement Poll Pinned

[Pavel10]

Pickard must start the second.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

In the offseason, there needs to be a major shakeup in the pipes as we know.

I’d trade Skinner to San Jose for Blackwood and do whatever to land a guy like Merzlikens, hell even Markstrom. I know people are going to say Merzliken’s numbers are bad. Well, he’s on a pretty bad team so not surprising. But he is a capable starting goalie.

 

[oil Leaks]

Linus Ullmark would be at the top of my list.

1. Linus Ullmark
2. Juuse Saro

i would add varlamov to that list, the islanders have sorokyn signed big money long term, he should be available

Another Drai rumor. Pushed by Toronto homer and SN piece of shit Jeff Marek now:

Report: Oilers star Draisaitl, a 2025 free agent, linked to Sharks

Could Oilers star center Leon Draisaitl join the Sharks next summer? It seems like a longshot, but two NHL insiders speculated about the possibility.

Dude - it's not a rumour - it's pure speculation - it even says it at the end - why post this

Yeah he is going to go to a rebuilding team that won't be prevalent for another 6-7 years lol sure Draisaitl will be happy not making his next playoffs till age 37

I mean Mike Grier can throw 15 million at him. If that's what they're speculating. Commend Grier for getting a lot of bad contract off his books.

Whether Leon who seems to live for playoffs wants to go 2-3 years to be 2-3 years away from making the playoffs? Doubtful.

Linus Ullmark would be at the top of my list.

1. Linus Ullmark
2. Juuse Saro

A new goalie coach should be at the top of every list. Schwartz could turn a block of granite ready to be sculpted into rubble.

Sure we win the cup this year or next then it makes sense. He can go there and become the first player to receive a max NHL contract. But I highly doubt he is going to want to SJ when he is 30 while they still probably have a couple of years of rebuilding if not more.

Woodley should be on the list. It's not just the goalie position itself that he knows, but he understands how defensive systems can help damn near every goalie as well as he knows what the other team is going to throw offensively at the goalie and defensive system.

 

[Canovin]

Skinner+ for Ullmark

Ullmark, Pickard, Rodrigue for next seson

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Pickard is a UFA at the end of the year and if he find some continued success in the playoffs he might get himself a solid offer somewhere.

I don't mind him signing elsewhere. Get himself a nice retirement money. He deserves it.

I would prefer to trade Campbell for Ullmark but I doubt that would work

Yeah I would too, but you are very likely correct. I wonder if they would do Kane and Skinner + for Ullmark?

They get a physical scoring power forward and a back up goalie.

Especially with a few of the guys that might walk this summer on them.

Get ready for endless "speculations" until Draisaitl signs his extension.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Yeah all this "when Connor and Leon leave" stuff from other fan bases is going to start approaching fever pitch at the end of the season.

 

[McShogun99]

Skinner+ for Ullmark

Ullmark, Pickard, Rodrigue for next seson

I always thought Ullmark would be the perfect goalie for this team but trading Skinner for 1 year of Ullmark would be bad asset management. I think there will be a big market for Ullmark this summer and a team will overpay to get him.

If Ullmark waives his M-NTC to come to Edmonton, there's a good chance he's also going to re-sign

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Option as backup next year

 

[GhostfaceWu]

McAvoy for Drai.

The trade is a 1 for 1.

Boston wouldn't do it.

Why would the Oilers do it? Dudes been garbage in the playoffs and has a higher cap than nurse.

 

[Canovin]

Ullmark, Talbot and Rodrigue. Let's go!

 

[GOilers88]

If Drai doesn't want to extend why wouldn't they? He's a stud #1 defenseman.

 

[Heavy Dee]

 

[joestevens29]

I don't know seems like he is gone regardless. Even if we win the cup we need to restructure the drafting and developing side of things and it seems clear Jackson is going to be the one to continue fixing that by bringing in someone more aligned to his way of thinking

I'm also curious at his age if he even wants to get into another GM role with a rebuilding club. Maybe just president of hockey operations or some sort of senior advisor in CBJ makes more sense to me.

 

[McAsuno]

Take Bob Nicholson with him.

 

[McTonyBrar]

WHY the f*** would Leon leave for f***ing SJ?

Also Mark Hunter for Ken Holland
