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

[McTonyBrar]

Who is coming out to make that happen? Yamamoto?

I'm just making a guess lol

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Why go for Klingberg? He's just a bigger Barrie. Bouchard has always been the heir apparent to the PP1 and offensive defenseman spot.

 

[McShogun99]

You won’t get Karlsson without losing one of Nuge, Hyman, or Kane.

I’d rather not spend big assets on Karlsson. He will regress big time.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Here are all the pending UFA forwards that with retention could replace Yamamoto and are better
Sheary, JVR, Zucker
JVR would require double retention, Zucker doesn’t want Canada.
Sheary is really the only option and not all that much better honestly.

Adding Sheary if they can do it cheap would be perfect. He’s shown to stay healthy, scored at a consistent rate, has playoff experience and has shown he can play with high skill guys or down the lineup.

I could see him finding a spot and re-signing dirt cheap if they decided to ship Yams out to make space in the summer.

I could see at as a pure insurance move. Remember in 16/17 when Sekera went down and we had to play Reinhart in game 7?

 

[Jet Walters]

So if we’re cap compliant with a 22 man roster, we could technically deal Ceci, Yamo, and Foegele plus futures for Karlsson at 9m and run a 20 man roster. If we could get Karlsson down to 8m, we could rent another 2m or less forward with retention, like Raddysh. I don’t think it happens, but how awesome would that defense look?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

And still be a point/game defenseman if he comes here.

Ceci, Yamamoto, Kulak, 2024 1st, Conditional 2025 1st and 2025 2nd for
Karlsson with retention

He hasn’t scored in 40 games

 

[Oilhawks]

I appreciate the enthusiasm for Karlsson as I am also a big fan and think he would be great here but I don’t see it until the off-season. I doubt they want to run a short handed roster to make it happen and Ekholm is already a massive addition the the d corps.

If anything, maybe they’re squeeze in a cheap double retained rental but I think they’re done adding and frankly am okay with that.

I still think we would be pushing for that 40 percent retention, and I imagine the cost is a bit more. Potentially add Bougault.

 

[alphahelix]

All those teams have more than 6 top 6 forwards? Bullshit

Which one are you incredulous about? We can go through it. Theres certainly more than 6 forwards on each of those teams that are better than Yamamoto, and given that you count him as a top 6 forward. - yeah.

Yeah unless theres a massive drop off in price on the remaining guys, OR, someone out there that nobody is talking about... I think we are done.

Karlsson deal makes way more sense in the summer. Know what the cap is, and what cheap options there are out there. If we are moving the remainder of our middling contracts, it's nice to know there will be some decent talent out there on show-me deals!

 

[I am the Liquor]

You guys hate Yamamoto way.. way too much.


I still think we are going to go for Klingberg

He isn’t built for playoff hockey

GM Sutter chimes in:



(Lol, what a snipe at Treliving)

 

[Soundwave]

Please tell me the combination of salary retention + cap dumps that will allow it to happen otherwise.

I mean

Bouchard (extended at 3m x 3 years)
Ceci
Yamamoto
+whatever picks

for

Karsslon @30%

Would basically do it in the summer. But I'm inclined not to deal with them in the summer.

Kane (5.125) McDavid (12.5) Hyman (5.5)
RNH (5.125) Drai (8.5) Holloway (0.9)
Kostin (1.25) McLeod (1.25) Bjugstad (1)
blank (1) Ryan (0.9) blank (0.8)
blank (0.7)

Nurse (9.25) Karlsson (8.05)
Ekholm (6) Desharnais (0.76)
Broberg (0.89) Right D (1)
Nemo (0.75)

Skinner (2.6)
Soup (5)

Neal (1.9)

= 80.7 million, so this lineup actually is a few mill below the cap roof. You could actually keep Foegele too, lol.

He’s basically speaking like he’s the GM lol.

Most coaches will say that’s not my job.

Agree. Karlsson is an off season thing.

However given his age I don’t want anything less than like 50 percent overall retention (could be a three way trade not dying SJ needs to eat it all)

I love the idea but there is still risk with bringing him here at his age with such a large contract.

But overall. Yes please for 2023-2024 season

 

[McDNicks17]

Former Oiler great, Dylan Wells, on the move again.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

That's what's so awesome about it haha.

 

[Soundwave]

Oilers can just wait for Karlsson to pout that he's in a rebuild that he doesn't want to be in, that puts them under pressure to make a move, sulk on the ice for a bit next year, and then San Jose will probably get no where near what they could have had now and have to retain even more money than they would have otherwise.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Sincerely, I think they should go for it

 

[McDNicks17]

Sincerely, I think they should go for it

They're really missing Gudbranson too. They should trade for him and Edmundson.

 

[McBooya42]

I'm just making a guess lol

Get rid of Ceci and Yams. Upgrade with 6.25 million somehow using picks and retention to get another RD and top 6 RW. Can it be done and with who?
