Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: Cap Gymnastics

[McSuper]

Benning for Brown
8th + Gagner + Manning (250k retained) for Rakell
2 2nds + Khaira for JT Miller + Stephens

Nuge/Drai - Mcdavid - Chiasson
Rakell - Drai/Nuge - Miller
Benson - Stephens - Brown
Lucic - Brodziak - Kassian

Sign Spurgeon next offseason for D

This would really fix our D . In a year or 2

Klefbom Spurgeon
Nurse Larsson
Jones Bouchard
Lagesson

 

[Aceboogie]

No thanks unless they take Sekera or Lucic. Cant afford PK.

That I why I said we could only bring on PK if Lucic

I have no problem whatsoever with PKs price tag. Maybe slightly overpaid by 500K, but a true #1D

You offload Lucic (scrub depth player) and Russell (bottom pairing D), and you freed up more cap space than PK alone costs.

Id keep Sekera around though. Overpaid, but a great vet for Bouchard

Katz just needs to entice him to go away . Give his wife a job on the board of governs at 6 million a year for 4 years . She doesn't have to even show up . Waive Lucic for the purpose of termination of his contract

I've never heard that suggestion before. Brilliant!

I've never heard that suggestion before. Brilliant!

I'm pretty sure there is something in the CBA against this. I remember when the CBA first came out there was concerns brought up that a Team could just pay family a chunk of money or give players endorsements through their other ventures.

Only Lamoriello could get away with something like that.

 

[CycloneSweep]

We just signed McLeod

 

[GMofOilers]

Interesting

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Hmm, where would Eriksson slot in? He's almost just as buyout proof as Lucic.

Defensive minded 3rd line lw

 

[djdub]

Interesting

Is he allowed to say that? Tampering? Or does that only work from a team perspective?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Interesting

He just tampered himself. Nullify his contract.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I think it's just managerial talking about specific players under contract.

Gaudreau said the same thing about playing in Philly one day.

 

[Del Preston]

He really wants to be a Canuck.

 

[oXo Cube]

I think Lucic just wants out(FWIW I don't blame him) and doesn't really care at this point.

He would probably take Ottawa.

 

[Captain Controversy]

My god, lucic leaving the oilers? joy
Of course Eriksson would be coming back....ffs.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I'd rather deal him out of the division, preferably East.

But beggars can't be choosers.

Why? I'd love to screw up a rival team, and Lucic always seems to play extra soft against his former teams.

Against teams that he liked. He'll probably want revenge on the Oilers.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Good riddance, we want you to play for the Canucks as well Milan.

Lol- valid, especially the soft against other teams part.

 

[Joey Moss]

If there's a time to do a Eriksson-Lucic swap it's this season. Eriksson's NTC kicks in 2020-2021. He has 1 year less than Lucic. He wouldn't need to be protected in expansion. For those reasons it makes sense for us.

 

[Canovin]

Uncle Benning will want nephew Benning to balance the Lucic/Eriksson swap

And for those exact same reason, it doesn't make any sense for the Canucks. Why the hell would they make that trade?

It doesn't but you never know with Benning. He has a history with Lucic.

 

[McDrai]

Interesting

So I guess Lucic still thinks he's a valuable commodity around the league? Talk about delusional
