Rumor: Pulju and Barrie Out & Ekholm In With $2.062 Million in Cap, We Want MOAR!

[Patch101]

Go with Skinner.

If he gets hurt ... or sick ... how confident are you that Jack can carry the load in the playoffs.

 

[nexttothemoon]

With Detroit falling back out I wonder if we could squeeze Perron outa there?

Perron would be a great addition if Detroit wants to dump him and the Oilers could fit him in.

10 team no trade list though and Oilers would likely be on it.

Get quick for insurance if we play the Kings I’m sure he would be more than motivated lol

Not at all, but this isn't a solvable problem.

Best we can do right now is take steps to insulate our questionable goaltending.

Makes 4.75 this year and next. Yammo and a 2nd with a bit retention maybe?

 

[Captain Controversy]

If the Oilers add another d-man, I wouldn't be shocked if Cody Ceci is going the other way. For example, Klingberg at 75% retention for Ceci and a 2nd, or something like that.

Nurse - Klingberg
Broberg - Ekholm
Kulak - Bouchard

It's gotta be yams going. Ceci is too useful.
1st + Yams

My guess Stevie Y isn't throwing in the towel, especially on a Larkin contract year. Probably gonna make 1 big move here for that extra push

Bertuzzi. Expiring deal.

 

[FlameChampion]

1st + Yams

1st + Yams for Klingberg?

How about no.

What did LA do when Cal didn't preform ?
LA took steps.

Nurse - Klingberg
Broberg - Ekholm
Kulak - Bouchard

I think going from Ceci to Klingberg might be a step in the wrong direction for our D. But adding Klingberg at 75% and still keeping Ceci might work.

 

[FlameChampion]

Bertuzzi. Expiring deal.

I'd really like to see Bertuzzi or Domi double retained and play RW.

 

[oXo Cube]

LA took steps.

OK you're right. We could waive Campbell and trade our 24 1st for a career backup.

Don't think that's a good idea though.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Yeah both would be perfect. Lol

 

[Garbageyuk]

Not confident, but I’d say there are more pressing needs that should be addressed first. Avs won the Cup last year with bad goaltending. But yes, I get the concern for sure - Oilers had even worse goaltending than the Avs, which was the difference in the series imo.

 

[ManofSteel55]

It's gotta be yams going. Ceci is too useful.
1st + Yams

Ceci hasn't been especially useful for the past few months. Yamamoto might go, but we have a glaring hole in the middle six, so we need to fix that regardless as well.

 

[Slats432]

I'd really like to see Bertuzzi or Domi double retained and play RW.

Would take Domi as well.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

OK you're right. We could waive Campbell and trade our 24 1st for a career backup.

Don't think that's a good idea though.

We don't have to do the trade 24 1st part. But we should absolutely be doing everything in our power to ensure Campbell is no longer an active Oilers roster player. Waivers, AHL bury, LTIRetirement. Everything.

 

[oil Leaks]

I would be ok with Klingberg at 75%

Nurse - Ceci
Ekholm - Bouchard
Kulak - Klingberg

Ceci's regression this season is concerning. Not a lot of upgrades out there, with Jensen gone

 

[ManofSteel55]

I think going from Ceci to Klingberg might be a step in the wrong direction for our D. But adding Klingberg at 75% and still keeping Ceci might work.

Again, not with how Ceci has been most of this year. Klingberg has also turned his season around it looks like.

 

[McAsuno]

It's gotta be yams going. Ceci is too useful.
1st + Yams

Moving a 1st and Yams for a dman who can't play defense to save his life in Klingberg?

 

[nexttothemoon]

Bertuzzi. Expiring deal.

That would work as well... bit of an advantage that Perron is a right shot... but Perron has a NTC and Bertuzzi doesn't so easier to make a Bertuzzi deal work I would assume.

Like others have said though... Yzerman at one point said that Bertuzzi was off the market so they must think they have a decent shot at making the playoffs and/or re-signing Bertuzzi.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I wonder if a late deadline deal is Yamomoto for Domi? Both are 3M players but Yam is club controlled next year. If Domi is going to test the ufa market, the Chicago may as well get something for him. Even if we have to toss in a B prospect or 4th round pick.

I am not certain how many buyers are left who are looking for a Domi.

Domi or Eller for Yams would round off this deadline nicely.

 

[Patch101]

Not confident, but I’d say there are more pressing needs that should be addressed first. Avs won the Cup last year with bad goaltending. But yes, I get the concern for sure - Oilers had even worse goaltending than the Avs, which was the difference in the series imo.

Like I'm glad we have Skinner, but waiving Jack ( nobody will touch him ) and finding a cheap veteran goalie to help settle the back there would be huge. Doesn't have to be Patrick Roy.

 

[MinnesotaFats]

Just signed yesterday, so i wouldnt think so... but... what do I know.

Missed that. Dang
