Proposal: Bruins/Oilers
- Thread starter rcduthie77
- Start date
Why would the Oil surrender that cache of young players when it can just wait a week to sign Horton?
With his concussion history, impending shoulder surgery and scetchy regular season numbers I don't think there will be a rush at midnight on July 5 to sign him.

If the rumours are true that Horton's wife wants to be in the sun, Edmonton is NOT the place to go.
Not flaming your post, it's actually a realistic and beneficial trade for both sides. Paaaajjjjarvi could be a nice pickup and I'm not sure if his welcome has worn out in EDM. It's a deal I think EDM does if they know they can sign Horton, doubtful if they can't. A quick call to Nate's agent would answer that question.
I believe he's RFA, could probably sign him for ~2.5? Maybe? Much higher upside than anyone that's tried to fill the 3LW spot since Ryd-or-die.

What makes you think A-HORTON will go to Edmonton and B-they will pay him. Trading them the rights to Horton is essentially giving them nothing. AND, newsflash.....Peverly is not even close to a MID SIX player for me he looks like a 9 thru 12 player.
So net net you want to dump our problem on them. Why not I say.

Oh yeah, ****, his contract still expired last night. There are no more rights to him.
Forget my first post. Non-starter.
I assume he means the right to negotiate exclusively with Nate before the July 5 start to free agency.

Ah hell! I thought the rights ran to the UFA signing period on Friday.
Totally mis-read my information.
My thought was if Horton was willing to sign an extension in Edmonton, as had been said, a quick call to his agent would take care of that. They would want to have the jump on being able to sign him as MacT has stated he wants a power forward and there is plenty of scuttle that the Oilers would love to have Horton.
Coming back to Boston, Paajarvi is a player who MacT is supposedly shopping and Hartikainen ran off on the Oilers over to the KHL so I don't think MacT is too high on him at the moment. Plus he is built to be a Bruin.
But I may be a day late and a dollar short on this one.

Oh yea and Horton's a RW which we have plenty of, Eberle Yakupov and Hemsky..
LW is thin except for Hall.

Hartikainen is KHL bound. I'd rather get picks.

Since the Oilers joined the league in 79, they achieved 5 cups. The bruins got 1.
All I'm saying is I don't like the dirty antics that the Bruins are known for, so I would rather not have that on my team.. Marchand rat floppings, Lucic boardings, etc.. Not saying Horton has those aspects in his game though, I haven't seen enough of him to know.

I'm sure the women's league is looking for fans

Last blurb does mention MacT trying to go hard after Horton.
I just don't see them giving us MPS for Pevs. Send him to the desert dogs. They have no forwards.

And they win games...what is up with that am I right?
How can you get higher picks when youre winning games? Bruins are dumb

with you there, and I`ll add, or ask, why in the world would Horty sign in Edmonton after 2 seasons out of 3 being in a Cup final, then sign with a team who are a few years away from making any impact and they still need to address a ton of issues

A lot of talk about Horton wanting the sun belt but I still believe that he will go where the money takes him.
If MacT is willing to go all in for Horton, as has been suggested he is willing to do, and give him a borderline crazy offer then I see no reason why Horton wouldn't follow the money.

Deductive reasoning ( which I will say I am pretty good at ) says that if you haven't seen enough of Horton to know whether that is in fact, part of his game, then you haven't seen enough of the Bruins to know that it is in fact an over-exaggerated part of the Bruins game made up by mostly Canucks and Habs fans.
