Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Cryin', Waitin', Hopin'

It doesn't prevent changes but it makes it much much harder.

When isolating this one deal at the very beginning of summer, sure. But that's not a very logical thing to do.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The difference between a 7th and a 4th is very minimal and not an overpay especially for a forward that would instantly revamp our bottom 6. You think that’s an overpay for McCann

It's pretty obvious than Hallander was Pitts target

Ellis going to Philly is good for Edmonton. Shouldn't be sniffing on Larsson.

Why? They’ll probably have to LTIR Klefbom and we get his savings

 

[CycloneSweep]

$11M in cap space to get a 3C, top 6F, starting goalie, depth piece plus new contracts for Larsson or replacement and Yamo.

Having an extra 2 or 3 million could help with that list.

We were going to pay 4-5 mill on a left d anyways so this is nonsense.

Why not? We can only operate with the information we have in front of us.

That Philly/Vegas/Nash trade is pretty interesting. Not really sure what to make of it. Will be interesting to see how it works out for each team in a couple years.

Yeah I see a lot of this.

"We need this, this, this, this, that and this or else we're f***ed."

I don't think it's worth a real response to be honest.

Assumption without evidence.

Should’ve paid that to a left D who can still play hockey well.

So you disagree that these are all needs? The team is perfect as-is?

Dumb.

 

[TheNumber4]

Was Philly the only rumoured team to also be in on Larsson? Who’s left now? Hopefully this makes Lars decision easier.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

We can also LTIR Klefbom and use that money on a better player and use that 3rd round pick in a trade for someone else.

Vancouver and Seattle.

??? Obvious?? I guess you’re the fly in Burkies room

So 99% of your posts?

No one knows how he’ll do next year. It’s speculation that he can’t play hockey well anymore. If you ask Hawks fans that watched him, they’ll tell you he can still play.

Ad hominem. Dumb.

 

[Soundwave]

You have to be cap compliant by day 1 of the season so you can't really say the Klefbom $4 million doesn't count. It counts relative to the roster the Oilers can build in the off-season.

They get cap relief but only after the season starts.

 

[CycloneSweep]

??? Obvious?? I guess you’re the fly in Burkies room

They went for a guy that they drafted

 

[TheNumber4]

Vancouver and Seattle.

Dim Jim Benning is in on everyone, all the time so whatevs. Lars would be a good piece for Seattle though.

At what level?

Vancouver was rumoured as well

At what level?

At a 2LD level. Here’s the thing though, Keith played on a tire fire team. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that his performance takes an uptick on a better Oilers team. Especially considering his offence will be boosted playing with the likes of McDrai.

It's not out of the realm of possibility-indeed it's quite probable-that he's done.
