Confirmed with Link: [EDM/ANA] Gernat and EDM 4th '16 for Patrick Maroon (25% ret.)

[Perfect_Drug]

I really like how my Vancouver friends seem to HATE what happened to them yesterday.

My WhatApp chat says things like:

"Trevor Linden; he's as overrated a Manager as he was a player".
"Benning seems to be allergic to depth players outperforming their contracts".

They're legitimately pissed that Clendening was waived/claimed, and none of their UFA's were traded for picks.

 

[Debonair]

Thanks for the link. Love the golf course selfie interview. Seems like a guy who might have something to prove. We could absolutely use a few of those.
As for Gernat ... anyone else remember the good old days when Marincin and Gernat were going to be the future of our blueline? So long boys.

Ehh sometimes it doesnt work out. Remember Alexei Semenov? 6 foot 6 with a beast of a shot... nowhere near lived up to the potential.

Alexei Mikhnov was the king of this. One 2 min YT video, and he was gonna be a star.

Come on man, that was during the cheap era. All we needed was to buy the kid a pair of glasses, but we couldn't afford to.

 

[Aerrol]

Also a fan of this trade, was impressed by Maroon last playoffs. Not a huge cost in any case.

I remember he had a 30 second shift and MacT pulled the plug, and I don't think he ever saw another shift in the NHL?

There are going to be people pissed about the Marincin trade until the day he retires, if not longer

I DO think we have a big shot at Lucic. I have talked to Lucic a couple times and he likes coming to Edmonton. People talk like he loves LA...i am not a believer. Would he re-sign? yes. If he hits the market would he be AGAINST being in Edmonton? No. I think he genuinely likes playing in hockey mad markets, he likes pressure, he likes that its important and he loves fans. He is a very passionate guy. I think he will be slowing down and injuries will start being an issue for him. It will be interesting to see what happens

I think if the Oilers can show progress and give Chia something to point to that we are building this new team...i think we can get some stuff done.

Im thinking that those 3rd rounders are good to use to trade for ufa rights on draft day to get an advantage on signing guys.

Its hard to believe that a couple days can make me a believer that a GM has the proper vision....but thats what has happened.

I love hearing this... as much as I love the top nine that was posted. Even if there is little chance (and I agree with you, I think 'we' have a good shot at getting Lucic) its still exciting to think about. Vancouver fans would really hate us... for me that is enough reason to sign Lucic. The Oil would have their prodigal son in Lucic, and their supposed answer to Lucic in Kassian.

I really like getting Maroon.

I was at that game. I was watching for him and it felt like he just got on the ice, did a lap and was done for life.

I had the pleasure of playing with Pat Maroon, but it was around 10 years ago. He was VERY good when I played with him, and he's so damn big that his hands that he came equipped with, didn't make ANY sense to us. Players that big shouldn't have hands like he did, enjoy this dude, and he'll stick up for anyone on your team which is what you guys need.

That's close to an ideal top 9, size and skill throughout

I can't wait until next year

 

[Supermassive]

Maroon takes #19 and instantly gains several fans who invested $240 in Schultzwear.

You've got that right

 

[misfit]

Now I can take my old Schultz, Falloon, and Moreau jerseys and make a new one that's relevant again!



**I don't actually own a Moreau or Falloon jersey

 

[guymez]

You've got that right

Very well played.

I was at the Hockey talks game against Colorado...when I bought the Hockey Talks hat the only thing I cared about was that it wasnt a Justin Schultz hat.

 

[IAGTTAYM]

Useless trivia: Maroon was coached for two seasons (05-06 & 06-07) by Tampa's Jon Cooper. Won the Robertson Cup (the oldest junior hockey trophy in the U.S.) in 2007.

I'm going to start calling him Maroon 5

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

I think Maroon would be good for Nuge and Ebs, Nuge and Ebs when they play together like to play a cycle game. He adds size, and some toughness to probably two of our smallest players on our team. I also would say Nuge and Ebs aren't super fast that they will be too fast for Maroon.

I actually really like this. RNH and Ebs play the game like Sedins (lite). In the offensive zone he could really be a great fit

Looking at Maroons past point totals, man was he pretty good

90 points in the OHL (lead team by 30 points), 74 points in 75 AHL games including 32 goals (led team). Led AHL team in points or ppg almost every year

Random facts, but still impressive

just to piss off replacement who LOVES Maroon and DESPISES Maroon 5.

Even Maroon doesn't strike me as the type to listen to that whinining syncophant gibberish.
