Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: Painted Yourself into a Corner Edition

[Soundwave]

Pay someone yes, but I don't think 8mil is in our range. At some point I do see us bringing in a 4-5mil guy.

RNH (6) McDavid (12.5) Rattie (1)
Duchene (8) Draisaitl (8.5) Yamamoto (0.925)
Lucic (6) Khaira (1) Caggiula (1.5)
blank (1) Brodziak (1.15) Chiasson (1.4)
blank (0.8)

Klefbom (4.1) Larsson (4.1)
Nurse (3.25) Bouchard (0.925)
Russell (4) Benning (1.9)
Bear (0.8)

Talbot (4.25)
Back Up (1)

Buyouts (1.6)

= 75.65 mill, lets assume a 81 million cap (2 mill raise) and Talbot probably not getting a raise (lol).

It's doable. You could probably keep Strome actually.

I really don't want to move strome right now. I think he's going to round out into a decent 3C. Especially considering Khaira and Brodziak aren't doing anything.

I would rather have Khaira learning and adjusting to that position then to have Strome play 15 minutes a night , have doughnuts across the board 10 games at a time, skate around take shots from 60 feet out, make 3 mill a year and get outskated,.... turned inside out ,upside down in 3 on 3 hockey because Todd loves the guys corsi.

Ya heaven forbid one of the best players in the world make someone look stupid. McDavid does it every night to guys.

 

[Joey Moss]

I think Jost for Puljujarvi would be a good deal for both teams. Jost is from St. Albert, would probably fit in much better with this group then Puljujarvi has. If he pans out as a 2C you can put Drai on McDavid's wing. I also think Puljujarvi would benefit going to Colorado with Rantanen.

 

[Raab]

Ya but we cant fit him in any way due to his cap hit.

We could fit him, question is do we want to? I'd rather wait and try to pick up Zuccarello as deadline rental. Would also like to try and add Hayes as well. To bad NY doesn't really have anyone signed long term. Have a lot of players we could use.

So Friedman's been talking how Bobrovsky is unhappy and looking to get out of CBJ. I know he's a UFA this summer but he'd be a huge upgrade in net, both now and in the future. Think Columbus would be open to a swap of Talbot + for Bob? Guessing the + would be an Benson, Bear, Jones level prospect and a mid round pick.

Both UFAs at the end of the year. Would cost 7+ to sign Bob to extension, but that's basically the cost of Talbot and Koskinen. Get a cheap backup for next year and it could work money wise. Thoughts?

Idk if the money will work

 

[McOvechking]

How much do you think he's worth?

Talbot and koskinen out is like $7M in salary isn't it?

 

[780il]

Talbot and koskinen out is like $7M in salary isn't it?

Talbot makes 4.167 + Koskinen's 2.5 out is 6.667m.

Bob will sign for no less than 8m. Then add in 1.25 for a backup like Hutchinson. Making the money we bring in 9.25m.

We'd need to clear almost 3 million. So basically, Benning and Kassian need to be dumped to make it work.

Has he said why Bobrovski is unhappy in CBJ?

Watch Treliving underbid Chiarelli and get him for Mike Smith and a pampered chef can opener.

Yeah I wouldn't pay Bob $8M so I don't do that.

Ya heaven forbid one of the best players in the world make someone look stupid. McDavid does it every night to guys.

Not to mention that Strome was over the 1 min mark on his shift.
He got caught out at the end of his shift in O/T against one of the best players in the world and got burned.
As I posted in another thread...s*** happens.

IMO anybody that uses that play as an argument against Strome is reaching big time.

 

[aspin3]

Just wondering if all those pumping Karlssons tires saying he was at a level with McDavid and proposing gutting our team to get him have noticed that he is -7. The only other player on San Jose in the minus is Hertl at -4. He has and always will be a defensive liability.

He was always one of the worst minuses on Ottawa and he continues that trend in San Jose. Thank goodness the posters on here are not GM.

If he's so bad, San Jose would be best advised to send him to us. For Lucic. No take backs.

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

I don't think Chia would want Eberle but even though he's struggled I'd definitely kick tires on Leddy.

Lets assume you can move Kassian and Koskinen somewhere without taking cap back. I know that might not be easy but let's pretend they can.

Would that be enough room to fit Leddy with Sekera on LTIR and afford a new backup?

 

[Soundwave]

I think Bobrovsky will probably sign with the Islanders or something to be in the New York market. He seems like a playoff choker to me though to be honest.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Looking at the roster right now I would move Benning and push hard-ish to get pysyk out of Florida, perfect fit for this team

 

[Cloned]

This has been an absolute bizarro season so far. Bergevin’s trades looking fantastic, Oilers not looking terrible to start, Kings and Blues big moves’ blowing up in their faces, Vegas and Pacioretty look average, Karlsson looks terrible with the Sharks...

Leddy's got too much term left on his deal.

 

[McDaddy]

Leddy's got too much term left on his deal.

At 5.5m, for 4 more years? Guys only 27 years old.

I'd dangle Pulju with a small + in front of Garth and see if he bites. Just me though.
Obviously, we would need some cap moving out, but it's definitely doable. I really like Leddy.

 

[The Safe Play]

Nick Leddy was -42 last year and is -4 this year with no points. I know plus minus isn't everything but this is a major red flag. Especially with that contract. We can't really take on another D contract unless it is a 2RD and we can dump Sekera or Russell.

 

[Soundwave]

I think forward is the more pressing concern at this point to be honest. It seems to me like this D goes as Klefbom goes. If Benning can not be a total screw up on the bottom pair that would be nice.

But f*** the Islanders, not gifting them another potentially good player. They can go shove it.

If I'm trading Puljujarvi, then I'm looking for a Duchene or Stone from Ottawa, guys they're gonna likely be trading as rentals if they are willing to extend here.

We also have five LHD NHL defensemen currently on the roster--four of them signed beyond next year. The Oilers don't have the cap space to be wasting on players who don't fit any organizational needs.

I know it's boring but the Oilers are better suited looking for someone to fill that bottom pair slot for the rest of the season. Possibly in a deal moving Kassian's salary the other way. Anything else just isn't affordable.

The only other thing that Chiarelli should be mindful of are decent quality prospects who are falling out of favor in other organizations. We can never have too much of that kind of depth. I was saying we should've asked on Dal Colle this summer and now he's off to a bit of a torrid start.
