Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Hey Ken Where's the Help?

[Smartguy]

If this is the rental/ Trade Deadline market the oilers should steer well clear. Teams are giving up their top prospects and picks for FWD depth, not even top line guys

 

[belair]

At least their fans realize what they just gave up. They're really hindering their growth potential banking on a year where they aren't even better than us necessarily.

TreenasOil said expect a trade before the trade deadline...

Imagine how the Canucks fans will feel if they get bounced in round 1

So should we go for Craig Smith and Granlund? Those are good buy lows that Holland could swallow the price for. Problem is their cap but I think it can work with some LTIR magic and Russell being fired into the sun.

 

[McTonyBrar]

At this rate Ennis will need a 2nd.

I would do that. Him or Tierney

for us or in general?

Treena went so far out on a limb with that one that she fell out of the tree.

So safe to assume we’re not gonna add anyone...

Nashville has no reason to sell.
Hell, that team is just as capable as any in the west to make a run for a Cup.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Madden seems like a really good prospect, the Nucks are all in I guess.

Edit: These prices make me extra interested in Namestnikov

Hang on let me call Holland

My reaction to these prices:

Benning does not shop like a mother.

 

[Oilers49er]

I think Namestnikov would be perfect with McDavid. He knows how to play with a top line players. He shouldn't cost much either. But then again these prices people are paying is crazy already lol

 

[McTonyBrar]

for us or in general?

Us

 

[McSuper]

A lot of people act like we make the ****ing playoffs every year, and that McDavid and Draisaitl's primes and patience are gonna last forever. Make a goddamn move to make this gross forward roster better so we can make a run. What has Holland done this year other than sign Kassian to a ****ty contract?

The hockey year started in September 2019
Holland signed
Sheahan
Archibald
Got rid of Lucic
Haas
And more . Because of Holland moves are pk is top 10 . PP is the best in the league . We are only 4 points back of the cup champions after 2/3 of the season . But yeah he done nothing . Also some times the right move is no move .

 

[The Safe Play]

Glad we have a patient GM tbh. Keep waiting until the trade deadline - desperate teams trying to unload UFAs will start to go cheaper.

canucks have no picks in the first two rounds of a draft everyone is saying is very deep. i'm happy to stand pat. could see holland waiting and making a value trade closer to the deadline.

 

[Joey Moss]

Steep price.. Toffoli is a RW which is not really a need here. We need a LW for McDavid. Not sure why people would be mad about this..

 

[oil4life97]

Nucks have lost what 5 of their last seven? Trade reeks of desperation.

People get mad at every trade that happens that doesn't involve the Oilers.

Wasn't the 2019 draft considered "deep"?

Boeser to be out for at least 3 more weeks.

It has a strong top 10 and then started to fall off according to scouts. This one is supposed to be strong for the 1st 2 rounds.
