Proposal: Rumors and Proposals IV | Excuse Me Sir, Could You Spare a RHD?

[snipes]

I wonder if a deal actually gets finished today.

 

[Namtsua]

No way TVR. TVR is comparable to Davidson. he is a vastly underrated D and performed really well in NHL. If we get TVR I will shave my head. Unless Bowman lost his mind theres no way theyd shoot themselves in the foot

Giving Oilers a critical need and downgrading? No way

You will be held accountable

 

[Paralyzer]

Where is SpeedyTurtle when you need him? CLEAR THIS UP FOR US!

 

[oilinblood]

Just like the way Magnus Paajarvi succeeded when he got traded to the much better St. Louis Blues... right?

or Schremp...
or Nilsson...
or Omark....
or Gagner...
or POS....
or Cogliano.... (depth guy doing well but never a top 6 again)
or ...
or....


The only forward since the days of Satan to bite us have been guys like Cleary that ended up FINALLY ADMITTING THEIR FAULTS and changing their game to fit the only the role they can survive at...CHECKING LINE WING.

I dont believe Yak will ever be able to adapt to checking or depth role so i expect him to bust where ever he goes

Thanks, good to know. I'm not very familiar with either player.

we shall see how close it is depending on if Yak plays tonight

 

[gsp]

Pokka is a far better choice than TVR. Mayfield could be a good waiver pick up.

It's 3:15 pm EST right now. What time does paperwork have to be filed does anyone know off the top of their head? Or is there even a deadline each day?

 

[Canovin]

Pokka+TVR for Yak+? Sign me up. Oilers can retain whatever Chi wants!

 

[Aceboogie]

Pokka is a far better choice than TVR.

Pokka is like a MAB type guy. Very good offensively (although has to translate to NHL). But he does have good upside there.

TVR is already a good NHLer. Theres been talk about him moving into top 4 for Chicago

Anyway, imagine being Hall and getting dealt to NJ. Now watching Yak being dealt to infinitely better situation in Chicago lmao

There's no deadline. Players can be traded right up to game time, and I don't even think that can officially prevent it.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pokka has a higher offencive upside, which is a bit more of a need, so I'd take him over TVR.

Pokka could also start in the AHL, and then work his way up once Fayne is dealt, or injuries. TVR would allow you to put Nurse in the AHL to polish his game more, but doesn't have the same upside.

The fact that Pokka's also from the same area as Pulju also has me leaning that way too.

If the defence by the end of the year is...

Klefbom-Larsson
Nurse/Davidson-Sekera
Nurse/Davidson-Pokka

... I'd be quite happy

Thanks .

TVR is awesome. Id love him on this team. Makes the right choice everytime. Imagine Davidson but a righty

 

[syz]

Only thing I know about TVR is that I spent the entirety of the Chicago/St Louis series thinking "man, this guy ****ing sucks."

TVR is a below average bottom pairing NHLer and Chicago would be very dumb to move him into the top 4.

 

[oilinblood]

sucks Yakupov has turned into the player he is right now. I loved watching the kid play in his rookie season.

yeah...the same season Schultz looked good (both of them actually)

keep in mind the Oilers played well for the first half of their games that season then the wheels fell off until the last few games. In comparison the great teams were mostly the opposite...toook a while to get in game shape, then turned it on, then rested their horses for the pos-season.

we had a big start thanks to most our key guys gelling in the A.

 

[Paralyzer]

Maybe Chia is waiting to read HFBoards to see what we think of TVR and Pokka before doing it then he will determine how much we will retain.

Yakupov to Chicago+Reading HFBoards+?????=Profit.

 

[snipes]

Chicago needs to get rid of salary. If we're retaining we need at least 2 players coming back.

 

[tv14]

What about:

Yakupov (50% retained) + Lander + mid pick
for
Kruger + Pokka

 

[Draiskull]

TVR is a legit NHLer but Pokka helps us more long term.

Pokka doesnt have to clear waivers, is an offensive Dman and can gel with Puljujarvi in the AHL til both are ready.

 

[Weitz]

 

[snipes]

TVR + Pokka for Yak (50% retained)

That would work for me.

 

[snipes]

I imagine Chia is also waiting for other teams to throw up an offer as well. Maybe a better one comes in?

 

[syz]

Pretty much. Oilers should be pulling a Cody Hodgson here, but they'd rather just take another loss.
