Speculation: Muzzin Trade means roster move: Marincin Vs Holl Vs Oz

[Warden of the North]

Holl. Babs like Marincin more then him.

I think both are awful

 

[FlareKnight]

I expect Holl to hit the waivers. Oz is the guy coming out and you'd expect he's the first one going back in if needed. So he's probably sticking around. Marincin has been put ahead of Holl on the depth chart so I don't see him going down.

Holl seems the logical choice. They aren't going to play him and I don't think there's a huge chance someone is going to go for him on the waiver wire anyways.

The Oilers will grab him off waivers. They're desperate for D and he's a right handed shot.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Oz, just because he can still get regular minutes on the Marlies.

 

[Raging Bull]

Oz. He's the Borgman of this season.

He'd fit in nicely in their top 4.

 

[Le Cobra]

I like what I see from Oz. Not too sure about the other two

 

[Hesus]

Hopefully Marincin is traded/demoted, but probably it is Oz that goes to AHL

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Too many bubble players to choose from

To be fair Marincin hasn't caused us any problems in the last two years.

 

[613Leafer]

Oz. He's the Borgman of this season.

Borgman was behind Carrick, Polak, Zaitsev, Hainsey, and Gardiner for goals against per 60 whole producing no offence and playing protected minutes.

Oz actually has the best goals against per 60 on our blueline. Sure, it's in sheltered minutes like Borgman, but he's excelling where Borgs was struggling hard.

I doubt they make a move that could cost them a player. Not until they have to.
My best guess is they could do a conditioning stint for Holl or simply send Oz down. Long term, I think Oz to the Marlies makes the most sense. Let him play down there. Eating popcorn at the NHL level doesn't seem like a good idea.

Oz is 26. Hes not a kid.

John Tavares is 28

 

[Warden of the North]

John Tavares is 28

John Tavares isnt being sent to the Marlies. And hes not Russian.

Oz came to play in the NHL, sending him to the Marlies probably ensures he goes back to Russia.

Id rather lose Marty or Holl to waivers then Oz to Russia

And we know for sure he would head back home?

If that's what he wants, let him.

Or.....keep him and lose a worse player?

 

[Bluelines]

Sometimes the guy who goes down is not on merit, Dubas seems to like to protect young assets, IMO he sends Oz down, only because he can go through waivers.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Or.....keep him and lose a worse player?

No. Send him to the Marlies to improve his game.
If he decides he wants to head back, fine. It's not a big loss. He may have room to improve so why not take the chance?

Right now, he's a fringe NHL'er. Like the other 2 guys.
There may not be room for him next season anyway.

Oz can go back to Russia but he cant play, he is under a NHL contract.

 

[Warden of the North]

Oz can go back to Russia but he cant play, he is under a NHL contract.

Since when has the KHL actually honoured that agreement?

It would be mutual termination by waivers anyways.

Anyways, my point stands I think its going to be Holl. I doubt anyone claims him anyways

 

[thegurujc]

Who is picking up Holl at this point in the season?

a building squad on the outside looking in .

 

[thegurujc]

rielly-muzzin
gardiner-zaitsev
dermott-hainsey/OZ

injuries happen keep the best player on hand. gards has the flu, im sure other players down the stretch will have bugs and flues and minor injuries, OZ will get looks, heck hainsey might get rested for the playoffs even lol.

Hainsey wont spend any time in the press box under Babs. he doesn't need resting for the playoffs necessarily he just needs to start playing less minutes down the stretch, which will happen now.

 

[gamer1035]

Send holl down. He sucks. Sorry

 

[ShaneFalco]

Send holl down. He sucks. Sorry

Based on?
He was an All-star in the AHL. He's played, what, 2 games here?
