Speculation: Pat Maroon to the Oilers

[M Ace]

He had a career year next to McDavid. Maybe that’s what we looking for?

 

[BlueDream]

If the Wild continue to lose, he could become available, right now though, the Wild have no motivation to move him. The reason that Edmonton would want him is the same reason that MN has him, the Wild want to be competitive this season.

And they’re not competitive.

And they’re not competitive.

That is your opinion, I don't think anyone will argue that you have it. The people running the organization and some fans of the team feel differently.

Not really an opinion when anyone with eyes can see your record, and your roster. It’s not a good team. Sure some people could be delusional but that’s their problem.

Adding Perry, Maroon and Hossa too all but guarantee the finals appearance. This is 4D chess boys. Jackson must be distracting Holland with checkers.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Would be cool if once in awhile OP actually posts a meaningful source instead of a screenshot of some click bait shit he saw on Facebook. But that would take effort.

 

[Mr Positive]

It would be a good idea for two underperforming teams to swap players.

Something truly stupid for a 35 year-old, pending UFA, fourth liner on a non-playoff team? What level of stupid are we talking, here?

Stupidity to even desire Maroon.

The problem with what you're saying is that neither is Edmonton. I don't know if you noticed, but they're one of only 3 teams below the Wild right now.

The key though, is the word "want". The Wild want to be competitive. The Oilers also want to be competitive. Neither is competitive, but as long as they want to be, they won't move such players. Hopefully they wise up at some point.

Not sure how Maroon can help this team

A physical present can energize a team at times. Edmonton has been the better team in a few games the lost at hit at the right time can/could've change the outcome of some of those games.

I mean I'm not really sure why people think this would be a joke add. Not sure how many Cup runs Maroon has to be part of before people take him seriously. Sure, as the *only* move this would be pretty weak but as a low-key, low-cost addition? Maroon does a lot of things the Oilers currently lack. He may have the turning radius of a battleship and he's most definitely a pure specialist at this point but his old man game is still on point and he's one of the most beloved locker room guys in the league.

For a team starving for some resoluteness, guys who use their size, lower line-up depth and some moxy in the room and who also lack a ton of highh-level assets and cap sapce - Maroon seems like a pretty ideal target as part of an effort to buttress the roster.

One thing is pretty much guaranteed - if the Wild continue to suck, come the deadline, Maroon will absolutely be on some other contending team's roster.

Sounds like you are looking for Ryan Reeves!

Doubt he will. He has a nmc and has to be agreed to be traded. He’s also a Minnesota resident, born here
