Rumor: Rumors & Proposals: "Looking for a trade to happen, making stops along the way."

[Forgot About Drai]

Massive overpay, I might give up Broberg for Jones, it's a non-starter for Rackell

Personally I am not sold on Broberg at all. Hes a long ways from making meaningful contributions and he tops out at top 4 dman. I realize people like him more then me though.

I would sacrifice him for a cost controlled top line winger.

He asked, if you had to choose one of Hall, RNH, or Hyman, excluding cap, who would you choose.

What a list. Yuck.

It's weird to see people simultaneously tout Nurse as a Norris-calibre D while also saying we need another top-pairing D. If Nurse is so good, he should be able to carry a pairing.

2LD is a bigger hole to me.

God forbid a team have 2 top pairing dmen.

Someone forgot to tell the Vegas Knights that since they already had Theodore they shouldn’t bother signing Pietrangelo.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Well that is all nice and everything, but we can't afford all 3 of them, so.....

2 of the 3 sure

 

[McTonyBrar]

Bring in 2 of the 3

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Hyman at $6 million long term scares me. Coming off a career year and isn't a particularly fantastic skater. Could be the next Lucic.

I'd probably go

1) RNH
2) Hall
3) Hyman

Obviously depends on the contract of each though.

If we had Nurse locked in long term at $5.2M a year, then maybe we could afford to add an $8M D man like Vegas did, but we don't so we can't.

Assuming Nurse comes in at a number starting with 7, you're looking at around $34M or ~42% of your salary cap on 4 players.

 

[belair]

I'll be disappointed if Hyman signs here. That's a contract you do not want on your payroll.

Eichel story is nearing an end it seems

Doesn't seem like that was ever an option

LA?

 

[McJadeddog]

Ah, that is a little different. I thought he was saying we'd get all three, lol. Asking his audience which one they would rather have is completely fair.

 

[McTonyBrar]

LA?

Maybe. I think it's either LA, Rangers or Philly

 

[McJadeddog]

Sucks that 2 of the supposedly interested teams are in our conference (LA and Anaheim). Would rather he stay down east.

 

[Little Fury]

Not saying it was, just pointing out the Vegas analogy only works because of Theodore's favourable contract.

It's possible, even desirable to have more than one bona fide top pairing D man, but the oilers's salary structure and roster make up make that difficult to achieve here.

 

[McTonyBrar]

yeah lol i hope ends up with NY or Philly

I wonder if Eichel is ever really 100% after his back issues though. Plus Anaheim has a ways to go (more than Eichel) to get back to being competitive. Going to LA would be rougher for us as they're closer, IMO

Isn't his upside basically Larsson? I'd happily deal him for some real help up front.

Very different players i say. Broberg is a lot more mobile and not physical. Klefbom may be a better comparable.

 

[McDrai]

Hall ainec

 

[McDrai]

It would be so Oilers if they let RNH walk, Hall signs with Boston, and Holland dishes out a ridiculous contract for Hyman. In fact, that is my prediction

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Hall
Nuge
Hyman

Please don't. I'm going to have nightmares if that happens

Have you watched Broberg play man? He's way more electric, mobile and offensive than Larsson. Offensively, he plays more like Nurse but he's a better passer. His shot needs to be better

He doesn't seem to play with any fire. Iam always concerned about those types of players. Time will tell.

At worst, he's a top 4 Dman. At best, he's top pair. He's 19 years old. There is no reason to throw him away like that. It would be so Oilerific if he threw him away for a cost controlled winger who doesn't turn out or leaves after his contract is done. No thank you
