Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread | Free Agency Underway

[Raab]

Theres got to be something going on. You look at a bunch of teams rosters and what they're doing and its just puzzling. Almost like they're purposefully not filling holes. Could we see a domino effect trade at some point?

 

[lakai17]

bring in Jokinen for bottom 6 depth? Good for Puljujarvi.

Or Markov? Markov still has game and will not be eating big minutes at all. Can still jump up on the pp.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Why would we want someone hurting our forwards?

Spell check is awful lol

 

[Kalost]

What?

You use the picks at the trade deadline or this offseason to go hard for a proven #1 defenceman and another decent centreman. Makes us a better team NOW when you flip them for proven players.

Nobody wants the last 2 draft picks as they are 3 and 4 years away, so you are left with 2018 and 2019 late first round picks to get a #1 dman? AND that is assuming the team that offersheets even has a 2018 1st round pick, it could be 2019,2020,2021,2022

 

[Seachd]

Closer to $6.5 million for Thornton, according to Strickland.

I'm most scared of the Flames. Really like what they've done with their defence:

Giordano-Hamonic
Brodie-Hamilton
Bartkowski-Stone


Pretty damn solid d


Any other rumors out there as to who the Oilers are looking at? Lots of names already gone, but still some big names left.

Solid, but not spectacular especially facting in problems in net and at forward. Hamonic and Stone won't somehow propel them to the top.

Gross.

I don't think they can offersheet without next years 1st...

 

[tiger_80]

I bet Marleau will re-sign too.

Good. San Jose is on the march to mediocrity. One down in the West.

Thats baaaaaaad, I know its jumbo joe but he's on the decline and coming back from a torn ACL/MCL.

 

[Kalost]

it's different rule for 4 1st rounders, it can start with the next year available

 

[RinkRatOil]

What did Rishaug say? My feed is frozen on Farhan

 

[McDrai]

SJ is probably going to be the LA of this year

 

[YakDavid]

What did Rishaug say? My feed is frozen on Farhan

probably still how much he hates yak

 

[RinkRatOil]

That or.. " Me and Mark Spectre have been talking about you Yak, where is your defensive game?!"

McDavid contract likely to be signed near the end of this week.

Draisaitl's ask for an extension might be 9+ for 8 years.

 

[RinkRatOil]

Jesus Murphy. Anything about activity today?

 

[Raab]

If we had that defence we'd most likely win the cup. Giordano and Brodie are both #1 defencemen. Or at the very least in Brodies case top pairing dmen.

 

[McDrai]

McDavid contract likely to be signed near the end of this week.

Draisaitl's ask for an extension might be 9+ for 8 years.

If that's what Draisaitl wants then he can pack his bags. Heck, we're already feeling the effects as we haven't been able to sign any nhl calibre players

At that number, I'd much rather have him traded...

Crazy, totally didn't know that.

 

[Kalost]

At that number we trade him for Parayko or something lol

 

[lakai17]

Burns confirmation.

 

[RinkRatOil]

At that number, I'd much rather have him traded...

Yep. See ya. He's had 1 good year attached to the best player in the world. How he can command that money is beyond me.

The first ask is always high. Not necessarily where they end up.
