Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Movie Poster Edition VI- "Kenny Lives"

[McDoused]

Please not Bjugstad, we need guys that play with pace.

 

[McWeber]

what if Calgary loses big tonight... hold tight

I think Backlund would be a great fit on this team....

 

[780il]

Vrana (50%) for Yamamoto is something I’d try and pull off

 

[Mez]

Tom Wilson, come on down

Kane and Wilson on 1 team? imagine the hate we would receive....do it.

 

[Fourier]

I know its cliche so go ahead and mock me, but Kane really will be an excellent "TDL addition" when he is back. With Kane, Kostin and of course Ragin' Nuge the Oilers can do some damage.

I don’t know if it will be nearly as high they have to resign pasta which is at least $3-4m of lost cap. Bergeron and krejci need to resign as well as orlov. Like this is their all in year as they have severe issues that could be a mid teens pick next year easily and I think yzerman identified that

Fair enough, that's a risk with a lot of teams though. In any case I probs would've tried to beat the price for Bertuzzi but not the end of the world.

At the end of the day, a 1st a lot for a guy who has missed most of the season and hasn’t really played well in the games he has played. Could have easily been AA all over again.

Definitely a big risk with Bertuzzi. I will say though he tends to be more useful when he's not scoring than AA whereas AA's only value is goals.

Vrana (50%) for Yamamoto is something I’d try and pull off

Do we even know the story with him? He went on player assistance program, was waived immediately, then hasn't been played since. I would not pull the trigger on him unless we know exactly what happened there.

With Draisaitl in the middle.

 

[JarvisFunk]

Tom Wilson, come on down

I would shit. Everywhere.

I can't imagine what the acquisition cost would be though seeing what Bertuzzi just went for.

 

[Broberg Speed]

I think Backlund would be a great fit on this team....

Pricey but the perfect fit. There would have to be retention. No two ways about it but I've always liked the player. One of the best kept secrets in the NHL.

Now we have Ekholm I'd wager he'd lift his NTC.

 

[oil Leaks]

Nugent-Hopkins - McDavid - Hyman
Kane - Draisaitl - Wilson

That is a very good top 6. Can switch Nugent-Hopkins and Draisaitl if we decide to stack

 

[McTonyBrar]

Sucks that Bertuzzi is gone. Big price to pay for a rental

 

[The Head Crusher]

Sucks that Bertuzzi is gone. Big price to pay for a rental

With an aging core, they want 1 last kick at the can before they start a rebuild I guess.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Namestnikov is a guy I've advocated for adding at many points in his career often likening him to a poor mans Nuge.

The issue though is he hasn't been good this season and he was in an ideal situation in TB with easy comp and easy zone starts on a good team and didn't really have it work out. My gut is saying we should steer clear of him, but him being our depth addition feels like a very Holland kind of move.

Time for Yamo for Vrana (50%)

 

[The Safe Play]

Excited to see who we bring in! Looking at our stats the last 25 games I think we have a real shot. Maybe too much hopium this morning but whatever let's goooo.

He would basically come costing $750k on the cap, he's a no brainer imo

Then they re-sign Pasta for 8 years at $11.25M per season.

He looked pedestrian in his two Alberta games; guess even the superstars have stretches where they are off.

Who are they chasing now according to your source?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Watch it be Drouin

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Watch it be Drouin

For the Oilers? Not a chance, that guy barely looks like an NHL player. Mike Hoffman would be more likely.


Also that Pasternak contract actually seems pretty reasonable considering what the guy has been doing in the league

 

[OiledUp]

He's had a pretty crappy season so far as well but obviously a different thing joining a cup chasing Bruins team lead by Bergeron. They clearly hope he can return to last year's form in a new setting.

 

[McBooya42]

Please not Bjugstad, we need guys that play with pace.

We need playoff performers, not playoff bench warmers.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Tom Wilson even available?

 

[xoczar99ox]

Really, Boston? Really?

What the hell is going on in the East?

I don’t know but it’s starting to look like Holland has no friends in this league. I hope he doesn’t think that because we beat the Leafs last night that his job is done.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Lots left and I think it may be better to go after a guy like Perron or someon of that ilk with another year on his deal.

JVR?
