I see quite a few "fan" blogs/Vlogs who are trying to some off as being legit sources are the ones who are saying "this trade" was almost complete but fell a part at the last minute and they are using other fan blogs/vlogs as evidence or proof. That is deeply amusing and sad at the sametime
I'd like a source for this one, not just rumour. Philly would have to be absolutely mental to take Johanssen over Ceci right now. If an offer was made from Edmonton, with a cap dump, it was probably for Jack Campbell, and it would be understandable for Philly to turn that down.Apparently the Oilers also offered Ceci + 1st for Walker but Philly refused because they didn't want Ceci. They literally picked Johansen and then immediately waived him rather than take Ceci.
Hilarious. And Oilers fans were pretending like he isn't a cap dump
The only other possible mitigating factor here could be Edmonton offering a less desirable pick. If for some reason Danny's really jazzed about the '25 draft, and the pick in the Edmonton deal was '26, or Edmonton was demanding more restrictive protections than Colorado did, that might also tip the scales, but it's most likely that the cap ballast was either Campbell, or Ceci and another player (Foegele, maybe, just guessing who else the Oilers would consider demanding another team take) that made the money work out worse.
Whatever he says is more right than any person that posts on HFBoards.
You're telling me that my legitimate source who said it on national TV is lying but youre saying that Tanev wouldn't waive for Edmonton. Where is your source?
Because Ceci is hot garbage, you need to pay to get rid of that contractApparently the Oilers also offered Ceci + 1st for Walker but Philly refused because they didn't want Ceci. They literally picked Johansen and then immediately waived him rather than take Ceci.

The last cup was so long ago for the leafs that the next one will seem like the Second Coming
