Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | If OEL Gets Traded Here, Which Defensemen Get Dealt?

[tabs]

Give JP top six time

I’d assume he starts on the third line and if he plays well will get a shot next to McD. I can’t see them starting him there.

Subscribed haha had to do a little clicking around but sounds like the deal is for a year.

Really? I just saw 6 months and I subscribed yesterday.

 

[McTonyBrar]

wtf is a Bjork

Umm a really good third liner. Had 12 points in 30 games in rookie year. Had 9 goals 10 assists last year

Carolina.

They got Neiderreider on the 4th line.

That would be a pretty big step up for us. Would Carolina do it just for the cap savings? We’d be adding over 3 mill but if he can play next to McD that would be a great deal for us.

I could see them moving Dzingel or Foegele.

Sounds like per Stauffer, Puljuarvi signs with Oilers then they trade Chiasson to Boston for Bjork.

Puljujarvi (1.25M) + Bjork (1.60) = Chiasson (2.15)

2.85 M - 2.15 M = +700k

Bjork-X-Puljujarvi

That seems like a lopsided swap to me, but I haven't paid much attention to Bjork lately.

Woodguy55 was on Lowetide's show. Had some interesting things to say.

Larsson, Bozak and Koivu were the three guys he thinks we should target as 3C

Also mentioned that there was nothing he could find that would make him think we should touch Murray as a goalie option.

What I liked about him is he used stats and some actual logic when talking about the various players.

Why is Boston moving Bjork for Chiasson? Do you have an explanation?

Foegele is young, cheap, and outscored Nino last year. Dzingel scored about the same for 2 mill cheaper. If they’re actually playing Nino on the fourth line, there might be something there.

I would take Koivu for a year, but I have no idea what he has left. Team needs more vets.

I'll take Bjork over Chiasson. More speedy, younger and does has untapped offence

I’d definitely be interested in Nino

$1.25/mo for the next 6 months.

Do they have an app?

 

[McJadeddog]

If Hall goes to Colorado, they have 2 years window before they are in cap hell. Their window isn't as big as people think. The Oilers are looking like a better spot for him overall longterm

The idea is that Hall only signs for 1-2 years to try and win a cup during that time span.

I think everyone would. It’s more about why Boston would do that deal.

 

[McTonyBrar]

It's just a rumour and I believe they will because they have lots of LWers

 

[Smartguy]

I would take Koivu for a year, but I have no idea what he has left. Team needs more vets.

I don’t understand all the Koivu speculation, I’m fairly certain he asked not to be traded at the deadline and it was widely reported that if Min didn’t re-sign him he would go back to Finland and play then retire.

I’ve never heard anything from anyone credible that he’s even considering signing somewhere else in UFA

If you follow this link, it's for 6 months.

I think he'd be a decent add.

I guess the problem I see is why does he come here? It's not like we can afford to overpay him and if he is going to take a pay cut one would think it would be to chase a cup.

I'm not sure what they are thinking there. Dzingel and Neiderreider seems to have fallen out of favor there. Neiderreider is interesting because when he was paired with Aho he was almost a PPG player and has scored 20+ goals 3 times with Minnesota who isn't really an offensive machine of a hockey team. IMO, Neiderreider seems like the type of guy that could play with either Draisaitl or McDavid.

Dzingel seems like a really solid top 9 forward to me. Had two 40 pts season with Ottawa but never had the same success with Carolina but only has 1 yr left on his contract. Both players would be big improvements over guys like Khaira, Nyguard ect.

This is my thinking. He is 37. One team his entire career.

Why would he come up here on a cheap deal for maybe a year?

If he really really wants to play, he should just go back to Finland and play there.

Yeah, I meant lopsided for us. Bjork was seen as a potential second line guy not too long ago.

This is my thinking. Chiasson for Bjork would be a solid move. There must be more to it, or, it is all baloney.

Bob doesn't usually throw stuff out like that for nothing

 

[McDNicks17]

Philly could be an option.

Giroux, Lindblom, JVR, Raffl, Farabee and Frost at LW.

Wouldn't be sexy, but Chiasson for Raffl gives you a similar player at $600k cheaper.
