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

[AddyTheWrath]

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.

Do they have confidence in Lindblom playing regular minutes again?

 

[gordonhught]

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

Chiasson can play gritty at times. He played well with Neal in the play in round. Maybe they want some of that.

wtf is a Bjork

A Swedish Chef.

 

[FlameChampion]

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

Hasnt Boston been rumoured to like Khaira for awhile. Khaira probably makes more sense for them rather than Chiasson. I could be wrong though.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Do they have an app?

I think so but I haven’t downloaded it yet.

Special deal for Boston. Khaira and Chiasson and Neal for Bjork. 3 for 1. Boston wins.

3 is higher than 1. I think they should take it.

This is exactly what I said to a buddy of mine when he sent me the article. It’s a lazy take by Seravalli.

Quick question for you about RFA’s with no arbitration rights, mainly about Bear. I see people speculating it would take 3 mill to sign him but with no arbitration rights, does he really have a choice if Holland offers him a three year 2.0 mill contract? Would his only options be to either accept it or sit out? Didn’t something similar to this happen with Nurse and Chiarelli?

The Oilers have all the cards with Bear. But you do have to be concerned with not over playing them. I'd wait until I knew if I needed space to take advantage of an opportunity. If that was the case, then maybe a 1-2 year deal at close to $2M. At three years I think to be fair to the player you may be looking at a little more. And if you decide to stay mostly pat, maybe you try to sign him long term a la Klefbom.

And yes. They did play hard ball with Nurse. He signed on Sept. 17 at two years for $3.2M. But he had been an NHL regular for three years already and the cap was expected to rise.

Might have to retain 20-30% on Khaira

Throw in Khaira for the rights to Peter Cehlerik.

He was a farmhand there that never really got a chance. Has six points in two games in the SHL right now.

Lowetide's article today speculating the 'clean version' of an OEL deal would be Neal and the #14 pick. That would be unreal.

 

[McBooya42]

If Hall does come back I would want to know what Chia pet would think

Why? Who gives a rats ass what that imbecile thinks.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Did Boob blabber anything else today? Unfortunately I can't listen to the show today

I'd run Neal to the airport for that to go through. Run not drive

 

[gordonhught]

Why? Who gives a rats ass what that imbecile thinks.

He drafted well (except for JP), but his trades were stink.

And he got Drai and McDavid signed to long deals.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Lowetide's article today speculating the 'clean version' of an OEL deal would be Neal and the #14 pick. That would be unreal.

Then what? Do they deal Klefbom or roll around in their Dmen?

That seems a lot more realistic than what's been talked about.

Combine his NMC with being desperate to move him and his value is shot.

 

[McBooya42]

...how was that difficult? Also, how does that even play into why we should give a rats ass about what he would think if we got Hall back?

 

[gordonhught]

OEL/Larsson
?? / Bear
Jones / Bouchard

Russell for whatever picks you can get.
Then one of Nurse or Klefbom is gone. Which ever one gets the most return.

But put me in the group that all this is nonsense and there is a 15% chance that OEL will be traded to Edmonton.

Who Hall what now?

I'm not sure.

Klefbom - OEL
Nurse - Bear
Jones - Larsson

In the short term, that's about as stacked as you could get our blue line.

Good deal, and with continued speculation in Arizona needing to clear salary and wanting to get some 1sts for a rebuild it makes sense for them too. Opens the possibility of trading a D and a low pick for top 6 forward help and a 1st or something. Use the lower first on Reichel or Peterka.

Then sign Haula and Greiss in free agency and that’s an A+ offseason.

 

[ujju2]

I'm not sure.

Klefbom - OEL
Nurse - Bear
Jones - Larsson

Flip Larsson and Klefbom, so everyone can play their correct sides except Jones, who can play either side, on the right with Klefbom on the left.

 

[Cam98]

I feel bad for Neal if he gets moved. He will be like Sean Avery's sloppy seconds in Dion Phaneuf
