GDT: "In The Running" • FLAT CAP FRENZY • Oct.9.2020 • 10 AM • SN / TSN

[Anarchism]

I dont think Holland goes big game hunting at all.....Barrie ...Hall ...Markstrom ....none are very likely.

If i am choosing given the cap for next couple years....not trying to fill the holes long term now..just plug them...

Craig Smith...versatile ...can play all forward positions well.
Nick Cousins...Haas to minors...likely up and down...
Vet D 1 year....make Engelland still has enough game or Ron Hainsey.
Griess or Korpisalo?? ...can we afford this ....Kuemper would be a longer term solution but we wont like the cost

These are not longer term names....love to have Toffoli ...still blame Klowe for being a moron...but we cant afford unless we lose Kassian or Neal is bought out ....neither of which Holland can stomach

 

[Cloned]

Way too young for that snack

(loop back to topic) Can't wait to watch a game with her. I hope by then we have a contending team or at least another Cup.

Are you sure you didn't just want to keep all the cookies and milk for yourself?

 

[McJadeddog]

Duclair and/or Kahun would be terrific and presumably cheap bets.
Ennis - Mcdavid - Duclair/Pulju
Kahun - Draisaitl - Yamamoto
Neal - Nuge - Pulju/Duclair
Archibald - Haas - Kassian/Chiasson

Breaking up the DRY line kinda sucks but this is true depth.

Yup, Duclair and Kahun would be pretty good, and relatively cheap as well you would think.

We have just under 8 mil on cap. If Klefbom is LTIR, could we get creative? Hey I still have my Hall jersey. We would need someone to take a contract

 

[LTIR]

Koivu and Stecher didn't make the list?

The wildcard would be the following
Trade Russell for a pick
Trade Khaira for a pick
Trade Chiasson for a pick or lower salary

Holland did get rid of Lucic. Maybe he can turn water into wine

 

[LTIR]

Tell me how many minutes are you allocating to each center (per game)? Is there even any point in dressing Haas?

We have tried this before and Drai, Nuge and McD always ended up playing 20+ mins each despite being on different lines.

If we do these 3 things, there is 6 mil.
In 2023, we have all kinds of money
I want Hall back but he is probably going to Colorado

I think we'll be signing Hall and a defenceman. Would love Toffoli and I believe we'll go hard after him if there's cap space.

Oilers offering 7 years @ 5M for Markstrom per Dreger

I don't know that I like it. We don't like Koskinen's contract and the guys put up similar numbers. This also take Markstrom until he's 37. Granted I suspect any less term would mean 6 or 7mil a year.

Dreger exact words that the Oilers are looking to offer 6/7 years with the cap hit being below 6M.

Says we could target Hall if we strike out.
Seems risky. We would be better.

 

[PaPaDee]

No news on Russell?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers sign:
Tyson Barrie...1 year @ 5.5 mil
Erik Haula...2 years @ 3.0 mil
Thomas Greiss 3 years @ 4.0 mil

don't think Markstrom is coming here...I think his agent is trying to put pressure on Benning to get him signed
as much as I want Hallsy, we can't afford him

Oh damn that term is scary bad

 

[dem]

I don’t get the Markstrom obsession...
Did he put up a bunch of .920 seasons I don’t know about? This guy was a bust... who now, at 30, is finally barely a starting goalie..

Not a goalie I’d be rushing to overpay..

 

[McDeepika]

Kahun would be great. He is only 25 and has scored almost 0.5 ES ppg in his career so far. He has a real shot at hitting 50 points here.

I don't know that we'd have a lot of issues the next 3-4 years with it. But the last 3-4 could be real bad if he becomes a backup.

 

[Oilception]

Did anyone else listen to Gazzola on the oil stream hinting at Trading Larsson away?

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Did anyone else listen to Gazzola on the oil stream hinting at Trading Larsson away?

Unless he gets packaged with another player for a better defender thats a really really bad idea.

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It's just going to be depth players, nothing too significant.

If the depth players are Kahun & Turris, I would be happy with that.

 

[Joey Moss]

Markstrom, Barrie, Kahun, Ennis.. ship Koskinen to Detroit. Ship Russell somewhere.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Markstrom will totally beef it when he comes here.
