Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Another Day, Another Disappointment

[Aceboogie]

Same, there is the risk he doesn’t pan out, br the bigger risk is that he does. And you know that if he does there’s no way he doesn’t go to FA to go to a New York or a big market in 2 years. If we did get him and he shredded it this year, I think you either extend him next offseason or move him again

If he goes off for 70 points and becomes the next Panarin, you enjoy him for the year he had and let him sail on if he asks for a ton of money. He would fit a major need, which is short term scoring

 

[Smartguy]

No. Don't give me hope.

The only way Vegas moves him within the division to me is if it is for Pulju, and you can somehow convince McPhee that your taking the same risk of Pulju biting you back in the division as he is. Which I would strongly doubt he bites on

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Ideal offseason from here on out

In any sort of variation, and being realistic

Out: Lucic, Russell, 2nd 2020, 2nd 2021, JP

In: Gardiner (5.5 × 5), Gusev (4), solid bottom 6 UFA forward for under 4

Atleast one of those picks would probably have to be a 1st, plus given Lucic doesn't want to go anywhere, the team is stuck

Gardiner is not signing here.

 

[SK13]

Gardiner is not signing here.

Besides that, Gardiner at 5x5.5 would instantly be one of the worst contracts in the NHL.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Did the math. If we give Gusev 4.5aav and bury Gagner, that still gives Holland his coveted 2mil in cap left

 

[Jet Walters]

Gagner, 2020 1st, Bear for Spurgeon

Russell to any team on his list for a pick

Benning + 2nd for Gusev

Pulju + 5th for Roslovic



Drai McD Kassian
Gusev RNH Roslovic
Granlund Khaira Chiasson
Nygaard Haas
take your pick for 12th and 13th forwards

Klefbom Spurgeon
Nurse Larsson
Lagesson/Jones/Persson

If he comes here for 2 years and lights it up that is nothing but a good thing. Even if he is looking elsewhere in 2 years you can either trade him at the deadline for some solid assets or ride out a guy who will be motivated to keep his value up and hope for a good playoff run. I see no negatives here.

I'm not for trading the top 2 picks of next year's draft. It's the deepest draft since at least 2015. Roslovic deal I'd do. I'd do that Gusev deal, doubt Vegas does. I'd rather just wait until Spurgeon reaches free agency.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Vegas is likely using our offer to drive up their asking price from an Eastern team. That's probably the extent of it. Holland should get Stevie Y to do him a favour and be our middle man to bring in Gusev.

Yzerman drafted Gusev... so I would think that would be a logical landing place for him as well. I doubt he does Holland and the Oilers a favour unless there is a significant piece coming from the Oilers.

 

[belair]

Looking ahead to next summer...

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could steal the other Granlund brother from Nashville?

 

[iCanada]

He also didn't sign him to a qualifying offer.

 

[Crude]

Scratch Ferland off the list.

 

[Oilhawks]

Scratch Ferland off the list.

Incoming 5x5

 

[belair]

Scratch Ferland off the list.

Whoever takes over from Benning after this year is in for a substantial rebuild. What the hell is he doing? They have like 17 forwards now.

Lmao. Gardiner is one of the best #3 D in the league. Dude is as good, if not better, than prime 2016 Sekera. Maybe the term would be a little long, but 5.5 would be incredible value. Considering friggen Nurse might be looking at 7 mil

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

HockeyFeed(I know, I know), citing that The Hockey Writers(better) is saying that Oilers are in the mix for Gusev

Wasn't really a rumor, just a piece that said Gusev would make sense for Edmonton.

Eh, don’t really agree. Consistent 40 point defenders get paid these days.

 

[MilesNewton]

There are players still out there what are they waiting for?

Gardiner is not signing here.

Gotta love HFoil. Even if we give him the (supposedly) worst contract in the NHL, he wouldn't sign here

 

[Del Preston]

 

[belair]

Hahahaha.

Boeser still unsigned. There's the guy you target, Montreal.

 

[Aceboogie]

The team is stuck if we have a GM who's to lazy to do anything. Big contracts with NMC get moved

We shouldn't let Holland complete apathy to make any move impact our judgements. I am making realistic trade proposals based on us having an upper tier GM.

 

[Cloned]

He won’t sign here. I don’t agree that it’d be the worst contract though.

 

[McFlash97]

I hope Benning sells the farm for Ferlund , however Vancouver now absolutely destroys our forward core. Their depth is frightening compared to ours. They have a better defense

Oilers are going nowhere fast this coming year.

Prepare for the McDavid rumours mid season.

got rid of the wrong player on a buyout, Did not trade any inflated contracts out and bought in absolute horse manure prancing around as NHL forwards.
