Can you imagine Chiarelli doing something this stupid?

Depends on what the return is, maybe it's not that stupid.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

Showcasing a guy who’s injured and value is at a low... what could go wrong

 

[One Winged Angel]

Utterly moronic, if it is the case.

This is 1 step forward 5 steps back.
Say its Klefbom for a forward to play with McDavid which is what they are most actively looking for.

Now they have a massive hole on their top pairing and PP.

rinse / repeat

Team needs defensive help badly.

Then it wants to trade its best one at a time when his value is low.

?

Somewhere Garth Snow ears perked up

 

[WTFMAN99]

Can he play the right side at all? If so, does he do it well?

 

[Del Preston]

It was more of a guess by Friedman. But it is odd that Klefbom hasn't been shut down. His shoulder has been hurt most or all of this season.

Hope Chicago can work something out. They're in desperate need of a top 4 D. Saad or Anisimov could be apart of the deal.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Team doctors getting the Happy Gilmore treatment?

 

[belair]

Well, if those were the exact words that came out of his mouth, that's profoundly stupid. Oscar Klefbom is a professional hockey player. He's playing because he wants to play. If there are any suitors out there for him, they're well aware of what he can do when he's healthy. And from Edmonton's perspective, if they do in fact move him, it's going to be for one of two things regardless--a quality puck moving defenseman, likely right handed or a scoring line winger.

 

[bukwas]

They need to get Klefbom playing better hockey. His contract is one of the few that help accommodate the big money forwards.
I'd be interested in hearing what motivated this line of thinking as he seems like one of the keepers.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Draft McDavid -> Trade Hall

Draft Dahlin -> Trade Klefbom

Chia never learns

If he could, he'd be playing there.

 

[Inflict]

If this is true, then I feel really sorry for Oilers fans. Chiarelli is an idiot.

 

[The Great Weal]

Can you imagine Chiarelli doing something this stupid?

Absolutely, can you not?

 

[AppsSyl]

T I R E F I R E !!!

Chiarelli is a gong show.

 

[Duncstar]

Hoffman for Kleft + 1st? That saves you guys RNH for a top 4 RHD who can run the pp.

no chance edmonton trades their first. also klef +1st for hoff is a gross overpay even considering how bad klef has been

 

[jrs]

but why

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Habs need a top-4 LHD and Chiarelli is stupid enough to do this, so...

Wouldnt say gross.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Anisimov + Saad + Nashville 1st for RNH + Klefbom

Chia says yes.
