Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXVII:

[Paralyzer]

I know people are antsy for trades, and it's a fun time of the year, but there are still 3 months to get things done before the offseason.

That said, I hope tomorrow is eventful.

What do you mean? it IS the offseason. Do you mean before the offseason is over? Because like some people say, this is the best time to improve the team now through trades while we got assets from the draft. After that, who do we have with value? Horcoff? no. Hemsky? no. Belanger and Eager? no. This is the time to do something. Is it worth giving our 7th overall AND a prospect for Schneider? no, but try doing something with those 2nd rounders and use the next years 1st as bait.

Schneider may seem like a gamble, but isn't anyone your gonna get at #7 one too?. Yea sure all these teams are acquiring great goalies out of seemingly nowhere and its making it look easy, but it hasn't happened for Edmonton yet and this team should be ready to have its moment. On paper, Schneider would make Edmonton look a lot better then any rookie playing the next year or two in the minors.

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

Only trade since Tuesday has been Feaster getting raked.

Whoever we draft will be here for a minimum of 7 years, with the potential for more than a decade.

Schneider is a UFA in 2 years.

Things sounds like they're heating up significantly, I hope we see some action tomorrow.

The asking price is straight up ugly.

Ufa's sign with teams all the Time plus If a prospect really doesn't want to stay there are ways of leaving as we have seen multiple times

Based on the reported asking price for Schneider that's like saying that you're hoping to get some "action" from Wanda from In Living Color, no action > action in this case.

Obviously I meant by the end of the offseason.

And when teams don't get trades done by the draft, they do what everyone does... trade next year's picks.

Sorry, but your post wasn't very clear to me about the offseason.

I would think "3 months" made it clear.

Regardless, there's plenty of time.

Well, we haven't seen any young prospects wanting out of Edmonton so far out of the young players we have drafted.

On the other hand, almost no top UFAs sign in Edmonton.

Who came to the city this year? Monahan and Nurse I'm pretty sure. And Horvat?

You gotta figure that if the Oilers invited those 3 [not counting Lazar who "lived" here], the Oilers intend on using their pick and if not, no worse than 10-12 if we move back.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I, like others have resigned myself to MacT trading the 7th away for a roster player that can help "now". I can see why because he wants to help this team get better NOW and make the playoffs so trading that pick is logical.

Personally I really like the thought of a Monahan/Nichushkin on the team in the future (worked out well with other 1st rounders like Hall/RNH/Yak/Eberle etc) so I don't look at it as a huge risk taking another highly promising player at #7.

Saying that, I think MacT wants to give tier 1 fans something more concrete to watch than yet another young prospect so I can see the pick being dealt. As long as it improves the team and leads to the playoffs... can't really complain BUT I'll just say any player obtained in a trade isn't a "sure thing" either. They have injuries, up and down seasons and sometimes want out (which we've seen many times before)... so it's not as if obtaining a solid roster player doesn't come with their fair share of risks as well.

No need to mention that a trade is bad when bringing up Feaster, it's self-evident at this point.

Elias Lindholm is better than all 3 of them. If we draft Nurse/Monahan over him I'll be disappointed, and downright irate if we take Horvat over him.

 

[Soundwave]

It sounds like a Seguin deal may be happening, perhaps to Columbus. Why are we not in on this? I think we could probably put together a better package. Don't sleep on this Mac T, stop chasing freaking Schneider

Either way, it seems like the Oilers had the mindset to pick 1 of them.

 

[Petes2424]

Seems like a tough year to be a rookie GM... Horcoff and Hemsky are not even anyone's radar it appears.

That might be good.

Where'd you read that?

You would think so, but that could have been before they knew of Schneider being available today.

That being said, apparently they met with Nichushkin again today as well, so no idea at this point.

Murray, Jenner and a 1st?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Was there any further word on Coburn?

I think they should wait till 7 comes up, if Nichushkin is still there, keep that pick and select him. If not, and maybe if the offer goes up, trade the pick for immediate help. I still wouldnt trade that pick for Coburn though. People will be hugely disappointed in what he brings to the table.

Trade down with a team around 15 and pick up a D. Then trade down again and pick up another D. They need to come out of tomorrow with a better NHL roster than we see tonight.
