Value of: Patrick Maroon

[67Blues]

Maroon isn't an Oiler anymore and he played well for his entire run with Edmonton. We just didn't want to pay him what he wanted - and then he took less to sign in his hometown.

He isn't even earning the smaller salary he agreed to. Sounds like he's scratched again tonight. I expect him to be waived fairly soon and let other teams take a crack at him.

I haven't seen a player look so lost and two steps behind the play than Maroon does in a long time, and most of those guys were AHL injury callups.

I recall last year people asking a 1st or 2nd or a good prospect for him at the TDL. Man would we be disappointed if we gave that up.

Maybe he's spending too much time with his son?

When he came to Edmonton one of the biggest things we heard is that conditioning was an issue and he didn't put the time in off the ice.

If he's fallen back into his old ways due to spending time with his family then he's going to have to make a big decision.

Do you want to be father of the year or do you want to try earn as much money as you can before your career runs out.

I think it’s just simply he isn’t very good. We brought him in to stand in front of the net and cause chaos. He has decided that now he is Wayne Gretzky and he is a playmaker behind the net. He is ok not great in board battles. He is off sides somehow like 2 or 3 times a game and he is extremely slow.

Maroon makes Rich Pilon look like a speed burner.

 

[Dbrownss]

Waiver wire loss? Sold

 

[tony d]

I think he'd get a 4th rounder back in a trade.

Really sounds like he's back to his ANA days. I'd try him out in Edmonton again.

What would we have to loss?

I would be fine with future considerations. Although that may be demoralizing for him. Maybe a 4th/5th or something that is t a contract for the NHL

In all honesty demoralizing or not this really is on him. He had similar issues in ANA and committed to his conditioning for only a year and a half it seems.

He doesn't wake up his NHL career is done.

 

[Joey Moss]

I don't see why the Oilers wouldn't be in on this. We know he works well with McDavid and Draisaitl.. our wingers are pure garbage. He's cheap enough cap wise and value wise.

Really there's nothing to lose by bringing him in.

 

[backhandsauce]

Maroon for Spooner hahah

 

[67Blues]

We could do:

EDM - Maroon
STL - Future considerations

 

[TFHockey]

We could do:

Would you consider:



Patrick Maroon




Ryan Spooner
2020 4th round pick

 

[Captain Controversy]

I can see the Oilers going for maroon again. Helps in the playoffs for sure.

 

[67Blues]

Would you consider:



Patrick Maroon




Ryan Spooner
2020 4th round pick

Not interested in Spooner at all. We have plenty of C and LW player who would slot above him and his contract would be a negative for the Blues.

 

[La Bamba]

Maroon for Montoya (a contract)

I would like to introduce you to a man named Milan Lucic.

 

[BlueDream]

He’s so f***ing bad. I’d take a 6th rounder.

 

[simon IC]

Okay, as per Friedman, he is available.

From the Leafs end, I would be willing to offer up St.Louis' own 4th round pick back.

What would other teams offer?

I would do that.

Would give up a 4th or a 5th for him. Brings a lot of what the flames need, and could be a solid addition to our 4th line.

I would do that too.

I'd give a 4th/5th to get him, he'd be a solid addition to the bottom 6 and give us a bigger physical presence

See above!

Yikes. Maroon has more points that Lucic. I stand corrected on my assumption.

 

[cardinalnation]

No offense to Maroon because I really don't believe he is healthy but he is one of the worst players I have seen in years. He literally does nothing well and isn't even physical anymore (the reason I think he is still hurt). We should literally take any offer that doesn't have Ryan Spooner in it. Still can't figure out how Chia was sold that bag of goods. Geesh!

This really surprises me. Even last year with the Oilers where he wasn’t as good as the year before he was pacing for 40-45 points and Devils fans seemed to like him and wanted to keep him around.

Really sad, actually. I thought he’d be motivated as all hell finally being able to see his kid whenever he wanted and play in front of family. Maybe the hometown pressure is too much? We saw that here with Lupul.

Some people do better away from that...distraction.

I might be alone in this but personally I don't mind on taking someones bad contract, as long as we get a really good bribe for doing so. Spooner retained (so we can fit him under the cap) plus a high-ish pick or decent prospect is something that I would consider. Spooners contract ends after next season, so it's not something that will hunt us for decades (and we will probably have enough capspace if we decide not to resign Bouwmeester and Gunnarsson).

 

[simon IC]

No sorry. No Spooner.
