Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Hallsy Take 2?

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

So who do you believe?

I don't really know what you're asking.

I believe that Leavins was needlessly and stupidly speculating about MacT because that's what's written in the source you provided. He provides no information on MacT or claims to only wild speculation that adds nothing to the piece.

Do I know if MacT was for or against the trade? Absolutely not but the difference is I'm not throwing out wild speculation to justify my opinion.

What we know is Hall loved Edmonton (if you believe his interviews and I do) and the people in power when he was traded are almost all gone from hockey ops.

Why cloud the conversation by injecting a bunch of trash to the conversation as Leavins chose to here for whatever reason.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Hall is a pipe dream, he’d be a depth killer and really limit our options.

this team needs a top end 3C and then they need to fill out the wings using drafting and solid pro scouting to find players that will be good fits for our roster and compliment the core players well.

What’s interesting is that I think the original version of the article only had him identifying THREE people. I think it was updated to four with MacT later.

Can anyone stomach E. Staal for Khaira, Gagner, and a 2nd(becomes a 1st if Staal scores 50 this year)

I'd be all over Staal.

He isn't what he once was, but he'd an ideal Tipp #3C.

How about gagner and pizza boy for Zucker and a pick

I don't see Minnesota doing that. One has little value and the other has negative

 

[yukoner88]

They are in such a desperate spot though. The wiggle room alone it provides value, along with a somewhat decent draft pick as an asset for their troubles. That might not be the exact deal that gets done, but for Minnesota it's the start of a conversation

 

[McDrailers]

I’d love for the oilers to do something like pizza boy/Khaira +Jones/3rd for Lowry. I think my value is way off though

 

[McDNicks17]

Getting a bottom six center that Tipp will play for more than 8 minutes at 5v5 would probably go a long way.

Oh don’t worry we have Haas oh wait no we have Gagner...

why Hollsnd did not plug that hole in the summer f***ing baffels me

U do realize the only reason we have cap space is due to Larssons injury?

Looks like smith will hit his bonuses and we will have a recapture penalty hit next season.

Holland went barging shopping because we have no cap space.

Get used to our bottom 6 being on lower end contracts for awhile

 

[Jumptheshark]

I suspect Haas will be back in Bern by Dec 1st if not sooner..

We just got to figure out how to get rid of the other dead weight to try other cats away toys.

I had hope for some of them but turns out none can score

 

[Jumptheshark]

It will be interesting seeing how many teams kick the tires on pizza boy and low ball the Oilers

 

[nabob]

Yeah all that cap space that he had to work with. He had to build 2/3 of a roster while shopping at a thrift store while not mortgaging the future. Did alright. Team is 7-1-1 and looking way better than they did previous years. He plugged all the holes in a sinking ship, but a few of them are just temporary plugs.

Man...

Holland tried to sign Brassard, but Brass picked the east coast.

You can only do what you can do. Holland said numerous times he wanted to get a 3C. He tried, he'll keep trying.

Feels like there haven't been a lot of interesting names pass through waivers so far this year since that one day where everyone had a favorite they wanted to claim. Just checked up on those individuals some were pining for:

Daniel Sprong 4GP 1G 1A 2Pts
Joshua Ho-Sang 0GP
Sven Baertschi 4GP 2G 6A 8Pts
Nikolai Goldobin 4GP 1G 8A 9Pts

*Reid Boucher is leading the league with 5GP 8G 2A 10Pts, Utica appears to be red hot at the moment

Man I'd like to take a chance on Sven Baertschi, but the long term nature of his contract kills any chance of that.

Yeah, Utica is almost averaging 6 goals a game haha.

What depth is there to kill? We’ve got 0 goals from our bottom 6.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

and spending 10-11M on Hall will limit us on improving our team in areas such as bottom 6 and on the blue line.

RNH or Nurse becomes the depth we would have to kill if we are after Hall.

We are at/over the cap with 9 forwards including Kassian making 10M total. How are we fitting in Hall long term at 10M+

Palmieri > Hall for what we lack

Hall can drive a line, can Nuge?

 

[Canovin]

Hall can drive a line, can Nuge?

Both can drive a line. Hall is just a better line driver than RNH.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Both can drive a line. Hall is just a better line driver than RNH.

Are we sure Nuge can?

He has 2 even strength points in 9 games this year.
