Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: We Have a Lot of Bottom 6 Forwards Edition

[Beef Bacon]

Looking at the kings roster I would love if the oilers could pry carter out of them. Wonder if they would be open to a trade for spooner + a 1st. Carter would be an ideal 3rd line Center.

Why in god's name would you want to spend assets (including a 1st!) on a over the hill 3C we don't need who carries a $5,27M cap hit for another three years.

 

[McAsuno]

Now that Klef is out, Muzzin would be perfect.

I wonder if we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone and make a massive trade here

Puljujarvi + 1st + Spooner + Sekera + 2020 2nd + Bear
For
Muzzin + Toffoli

Cap in and out would be perfectly balanced in that trade

I'd rather remove Pulju and add Yamamoto instead.

SN HockeyCentral is a total waste of time if you are an Oiler fan. I had forgotten that until I decided to tune in today.

Won't waste my time again. Host was more interested in having his ego stroked than to talk Oiler.

If it was marek he is poison.

Absolutely debilitating media personality.

When nick kypreos is the omly one in your employ with a voice of reason you know youve done f***ed up good.

They are pandering to Toronto and eastern fans. They don't care, because what they're doing doesn't require thought or integrity of any kind.

I think it would take a pretty mass tune out from Western regions to have a small chance at change, but that's not likely.

It's a fair point, imo.

 

[McAsuno]

LMAO, imagining thinking Brown, Liljegren, Zaitsev, and a 2019 2nd round pick is enough for Pietrangelo. Only in leafs lala land.

Oilers counter with Khaira, Jones, Russell, and a 2019 2nd round pick!

That's not even fair because Russell appears to be better and under a better contract then Zaitsev

Edit: If I'm the Oilers, I think REALLY hard about making a deal for him.

Maybe

To STL: Nurse, Sekera (cap), Jones, Caggiula and 2019 1st

To EDM: Pietrangelo and Maroon

I would trade a lot tbh. But he's injured as well atm is he not?

 

[McDrai]

Debrusk would make a lot of sense, considering the connection with his Dad and the Oilers. He would be a pretty useful addition but not at the expense of Nuge.

 

[oil4life97]

They can't deal the 1st for a stop gap but I could see it happening.
Something needs to be done. I don't know if they can withstand 2 months without Klefbom (and god forbid another injury occurs).

A desperate Chia was a scary enough thought pre-Klef injury, a desperate Chia making a panicked trade to replace their #1 Dman is an even more frightening thought. The 1st is as good as gone I'd think.

Here’s to hoping Chia doesn’t have to make a panic trade to shore up the D. With Koskinen playing lights out and Talbot coming around they should be able to weather the storm. I do feel he moves the pick at the deadline, but I think it’ll be for help in the top 6.

If DeBrusk comes cheap I'd swing a deal with Boston. I find we have a player similar to DeBrusk in Benson.

It really seemed like there was a disconnect between coaching and management on how to utilize/develop Pulju while McLellan was still here. Hitch made a point of talking about how he wanted to be responsible for his development quickly after taking over, and he's followed through with that in game. I think that's something that was discussed at length between Chia and Hitch before agreeing to the job.

So Jesse is gonna break out and then Chia will trade him?

from Friedman's 31 thoughts about Lucic:

Before discussing his current role, let’s go back to the summer. Lucic wanted a new start, and asked to be traded. Has that changed?
“Yes, yes,” he answered. “I have embraced being in Edmonton and being an Oiler. I am here as long as they need me.”

I knew he wanted a trade last summer

bad news is he wants to stay lol

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Id do the 1st + Yamamoto + Nurse for Pietrangelo. He can be moved to LTIR right away and we'd have to move cap space around. Our defense will be in shambles for a month or so though.

I mean that would be the ultimate hope at this point.

He might not "want to stay" he just knows he's not going anywhere.

Hockey media in general has gone way down since the golden age TSN days.
NBA has much better media people who actually know what they are talking about.

Certainly if that was for an extended Pietrangelo

 

[Mav3rick07]

Yamamoto And Sekera for

Parayko?


I’m just spitballing here lol But if we’re gonna bring in a dman we obviously need to dump a contract . I don’t see many teams pulling the trigger on Lucic but Sekera could be a safer option plus an asset of course


I don’t know how other teams value Yamamoto. I’m obviously a big fan of his but I’m in a win now mode we have to make the playoffs this season enough is enough.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I'd do it anyway. I think he could be resigned. If he didn't want to stay he would fetch a large package at some future trade deadline that would recoup a lot of that value traded for him to begin with.

Bouchard would probably be emerging.

A desperate playoff team would pay big bucks for a 1D rental.

Back to the old joke, eh? Pity, I was looking forward to the "You're a <insert other NHL team name> fan."
