Rumor: Rumors and Proposals Thread | Which Single Position Do You Try to Fill Via Trade?

[The Safe Play]

TB ahead of us in waivers? I thought Riley Nash over Ryan and especially Turris was a no brainer.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Honestly, at this point, I would call Buffalo and try to make a trade to free up cap space.

To BUF: Kassian, Barrie, 4K, Turris, 2023 1st, 2024 2nd and Savoie.

To EDM: Okposo (50% retained), Hinostrozsa, Hagg and Pysyk.

I'm on board to give up nearly everything push this team upward. This would improve the depth and open up key cap space, so they could further improve.

Sorry, no, I'm not seeing it at all. Giving up a 1st, a 2nd, and one of our best prospects just to get a bunch of replacement level junk and a bit of cap space is really bad asset management.

Does Tampa even have a spot for him? Lol

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Apart from a goalie, shutdown LD and a real 3C / or top 6 winger to push RNH down, I would consider flipping Barrie for a heavier and bigger defenseman.

They are in fact behind us in waivers. Edmonton didn't make a claim.

if there is a just God, give me Barrie+ for Petry

Doesn’t the waiver wire order get set each month or something? I don’t remember how that works. Maybe Tampa was ahead before that

There is definitely a lag, I'm almost certain that waiver priority isn't based on live standings.

Wouldn't be surprised if we are still 28th or 29th in the waiver priority order.

 

[Rafters]

just figure out a Kassian for DeBrusk trade and run McD, Drai and RNH down the middle.. RNH gets PP and PK time already, his minutes wont suffer..There is an internal solution to the bottom six but Tippett dont want to

McD-Hyman
Drai-Pulj
RNH-Yamo

Find a place to put Foegle,Debrusk, McCleod,

 

[CycloneSweep]

Apparently Edmonton didn’t even make a claim.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I remember Nash didn't want to be an Oiler, so Management traded him. Doesn't look like he was producing in the peg, so I'm not sure picking him up on waivers to a team that he doesn't want to play on would be smart.

Correct. Tampa was behind us in the claim order.

Refusing to improve your team for free today because of a 15 year old grudge is very Oilers, I'll give you that.

Problem is I'm not sure a RNH-Yamo duo doesn't still get their dicks kicked in.

After more thought I think that the problem ultimately is that there are a lot of cerebral "think the game" type players on the Oilers and not a lot of "head down, play north south, play with energy" type players, especially high in the lineup. This lends itself to the slow starts and a tendency to be put checked below the hash marks in both zones. Hyman and Yamamoto (sometimes) are the only players in the top 6 that bring this element at all, which I don't think is good enough. Jesse started the year playing this way, but has slowly reverted to more perimeter play.

When the Oilers are getting caved to start games I see plenty of players on the other team with legs moving and playing in straight lines. On the Oilers I usually see a bunch of guys that are trying to corral the puck and make controlled plays with it when it isn't there either because they didn't win a battle in the first place or don't have time to make a controlled play. The message needs to be that they just need to focus on getting it out and in on the first few shifts so the game can settle in before they can start making plays.

Against Vegas (I think, but can't remember for sure) earlier in the year we had a dreadful first few shifts then immediately took a penalty. Then we promptly killed it off and were in the game going forward. I remember thinking that the game would have turned out differently had they not took that penalty, and not in a good way. Jumping on the PK allowed them to settle down and simplify for a few minutes before the game settled down. Need more of that mentality to start.

Perlini on waivers

Which means the Oil are gonna keep all the D up

 

[CycloneSweep]

Perlini is all the proof we need.

If someone has a great preseason. Trade them immediately

 

[Cloned]

My guess is Arizona claims Perlini.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

My guess is Arizona claims Perlini.

I suspect he clears, then goes on unconditional waivers the next day.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Correct. Tampa was behind us in the claim order.

With waivers you get asked yes or no, every team and then which ever the lower rank waiver list is first that said yea, gets him.

Apparently Edmonton didn’t even want him.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I suspect he clears, then goes on unconditional waivers the next day.

He was signed to a two way deal so zero chance. He gets waived and then goes to help the AHL team score.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

You are correct, unless he decides to resist the assignment of course. Which would be a surprise with the 2-way deal he signed.

Perlini will be motivated to produce in the AHL in hopes of being the first call up

 

[soothsayer]

I'm pretty sure Stauffer and Spector are about to have a fist fight any minute now about Kassian.

 

[BozoTheClown]

What would you guys be willing to give for Petry without retention.
Let’s also said that there is an agreement to pick Klefbom in the off season as a salary dump.

I don't think Klef will ever have to be considered a "Salary dump", as he will never count against our cap so to speak, as long as he is on LTIR.
