Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | Rishaug: Expect Swedish FA Theodor Lennstrom Signing

[Cloned]

I don’t see what your seeing. The only non 1st rounder they have drafted in that time who is an nhl regular is Adam Gaudette. 1 guy. Only 2 others have played any nhl games.

His expertise is US scouting, which is an area the Oilers are not great at. He’s also responsible for convincing Benning to take Pettersson, who apparently didn’t want to.

That’s great but we’ve still drafted better than they have. Not sure why we would change anything there.

Because you always add more talent at all positions in your organization if it’s available and possible.

Wonder if they could convince pool party to sign for playoff then trade - would he bite?

I don't even know that if we signed him he could play. I'd assume even though the season is extended into the summer that the NHL wouldn't let it happen. Have the December 1st cutoff for guys to sign

RFAs have to sign by Dec 1, so Pulju isn’t eligible

No

That and a life or death best of 5 series is no time to be integrating a guy that hasn't played in North America in ~9 months

If he’s willing to take a lesser role that’s fine but there’s no way I’m moving out our current director for a guy who frankly doesn’t have a very impressive track record.

It wouldn't be legal. Puljujarvi needed to sign prior to Dec 1st to be eligible to play in the NHL this season.

I understand that. My statement was for the hypothetical thought

Apparently he and Seth have been re-tweeting Trump quotes and are showing support for him on their Instagram stories.

Jack Eichel is also getting heat for posting this on his story:

I'd like to see JP back in an Oiler uniform but not this season. He doesn't deserve to be a part of any of the teams success this year. Let him have a clean slate for next year.

Not sure about a clean slate for JP. I would like to see him traded for a late 1st or early 2nd (not sure what his value is)

Saw on the main trade boards, someone suggested something around JP for Geogiev, and personally I would not be upset with a deal constructed around that

That would be fantastic. Depending on what we would have to add.

Admittedly what I am going to say is pure stats watching so I am fine to be corrected. But what concerns me about Georgiev is how many times he gets completely lit up. 7 times in each of the last two years he gave up 5 or more goals. That suggests a degree of inconsistency that makes me uncomfortable in giving up much for him. Though to be honest I am always skeptical in giving up much for a goalie. There are too many sure things that bomb and too many "who is that guy" who turn out great.

Consistency is an issue for sure. Like it is for most young players. But from my limited viewings I have liked what I have seen from him. I just don't think there is much value in JP (maybe a 2nd rounder at best) and that kind of a return is low odds that the pick would turn out to ever be an NHL regular. So it's not so much that I think that Georgiev is unreal or anything, just a better prospect than I thought we would get for JP.

Can NYR also take a Salary dump? lol

Only issue is the expansion draft but otherwise I agree that’s a great deal IMO.

 

[belair]

Georgiev isn't much of an upgrade on what's available on the free agent market every summer. Considering this is more of a split tandem, I'm not really comfortable putting all of my eggs in one basket with Georgiev. He's one bad stretch of games away from the waiver wire.

I haven’t been impressed by him at all

I agree that JP does not have any more than 2nd round pick value. If he won't come back I'd rather take a shot at a forward. There was a suggestion of a guy like Mittlestad. To me that has a better chance of working out because Georgiev either becomes your starter or you likely lose him in two years.
