Rumor: Trade Rumours and Proposals Thread: Y'All Got Any More of Them Trades?

[Pools Closed*]

We get more points per dollar spent with Strome than Eberle.

And? I would have no problem with the Eberle trade if we had actually used the capspace to imrpove our defense.

 

[Cam98]

So we trade a 50 point winger to sign a 30 year old left handed guy to play THE RIGHT SIDE who put up 13 points last year and got horribly out attempted while he's on the ice?

Yeah, Chiarelli is a ****ing idiot.

nope

 

[The Bored Man]

I'm not sure who people want instead of Russell.

I like Russell. I would try to bring him back – but for two years, certainly not four.

 

[fuswald]

Hemeroids?

 

[Mcwinner]

Kassian/Scrivens? Wasn't it 61 saves? That makes it even worse.

Why are people coming out of the woodwork with cries and lamentations because we dealt a butter soft winger? I'd pick a better hill to die. Chiaturds gonna turd.

I'm just playing. I loved the eberle trade. Just as I will love the Russell signing. Maybe 1 year long but whatever.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Did you even know who Guentzel was going into this season?

Nope. Should that be our plan now? Blindly hope that Spencer Foo or some other no-name will save us?

The Pens don't beat Ottawa without Guentzel going supernova.

The key is not giving out a NMC. Guys like Russell are easy to move in 2 years if guys like Nurse or Benning prove they are bonafide top 4 guys.

Look at the replies to this tweet. Every comment is basically laughing at it. But yeah, it's somehow good.

everyone laughed at Strome for Eberle speculation for weeks but that didnt stop Chia from pulling the trigger. Even Islanders writers and fans were giving us atleast a 2nd rd pick along with Strome.

 

[McAsuno]

You don't sign an aging soon to be bottom pair dman to 4x4, it's completely insane

And to think he moved Yakupov AND Eberle to make room for this goof, wonder how Chia's nuts taste like for some fans here.

Except Yakupov is terrible, lol.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Did you even know who Guentzel was going into this season?

No. The question remains, do you see that out of any of our wingers?

 

[Weitz]

I'm not sure who people want instead of Russell.

I'm not sure why we're over paying a bad defenseman BEFORE the draft.

 

[McDrai]

I think we know who the new whipping boy on the team will be

 

[Pools Closed*]

Same exact **** happened with the Larsson for Hall trade. Results speak otherwise.

Russell is a known commodity. We've seen him play for a year and we know how he fits into our system. He was brutal last year and he's not going to improve at 30 years old.

This is not a desperation signing.

What people are failing to grasp is the coach and the GM like this player, whether we like it or not.

They want Russell on this team.

Then it's time to start questioning management. We aren't winning a cup with Russell on our second pairing.

 

[North]

I like Russell. I would try to bring him back – but for two years, certainly not four.

Russell is not taking a short term deal anywhere.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I'm not a fan at all of the Russell signing beyond this coming season. But its amazing how often the world has ended on these boards.

 

[McVirginOil]

It won't be Russell, any Chia signing is praised like he can do no wrong. Scapegoats will always come from MacT era, Nuge is next imo

 

[Glass Eyes]

When y'all accept Peter Chiarelli isn't a good general manager I'll be here to remind everyone that I called this from the beginning.

Absolutely awful general manager. Who the **** signs a bottom pairing guy for four years at 4 million? We just got out from Andrew Ference's cap hit.

Four years!

Is this defense good enough? No. Simple as that. Now there can't even be any additions.

Are you seriously trying to use Twitter comments as some kind of proof that you're right? Like they've actually been made by people who've seriously looked into the matter or have a rational/intelligent viewpoint? You do realize that Trump uses Twitter to talk to the people right?

This has got to be the worst possible justification for a viewpoint I've ever seen on these boards.

 

[Mcwinner]

Absolutely agree. Also with a new team the salary cap should start moving up. 4 mil in two years might seem like a mil does today.

 

[VainGretzky]

Wrong last year Eberle and Russell took 9.1 million of cap this year at 4 m it would be 6.5 for Russell and Strome

Whatever you say, man.

Was Ference easy to move 2 years into his deal?
Russell doesn't need a no move clause.

Only when the team is losing. Crickets when we are winning.

Liking is one thing.. paying him the same as Larsson and Klefbom is another.

Maybe if they like Kassian they will pay him 6M per as well.

I think we Oilers fans should be well aware that you usually need some random role player to step way up if you want to win in the playoffs.
