Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Lavoie, Pederson, & Gleason clear waivers

[Jet Walters]

Is Connor Murphy an upgrade on Ceci? The Hawks have at least shown they are willing to eat cap for draft capital. He does have a 10 team NTC, and is American. Two years left, but at 50% would be 1m cheaper than Ceci.

 

[McShogun99]

I don't suppose Adam Larsson would be willing to waive for Edmonton if Seattle fizzles out, lol.

Before Brown hits 10 games trade Brown, Ceci and a 1st for Larsson and Eberle with 50% retention. Then trade a pick to a 2nd team to take another 50% of Eberle's contract. Screw

He is, but it's doubtful that he moves with the number of LHD prospects they have there.

I'm so glad you're not the GM

I'd make that trade. I'm not sure that Seattle's GM would if he values his job.

Screw what?

Seattle would never make that trade and Larsson won't waive his NTC to come here. Just trying to bring the ol gang back together.

Screw what?

Probably one of the girls that Eberle knew from the Ranch days got ahold of my account.

Why Eberle when you can have Hall?

 

[ujju2]

Go big or go home. We know they wanted Karlsson, hopefully they target Carlson

Rather Jensen. Cheaper, costs less in trade assets, and fills a bigger need (PP QB is not a need with Bouchard here).

 

[Canovin]

Ceci+ for Petry(retained 50%)

Skinner+Broberg for Saros

RW is the bigger need. Although I have to say, something like this is super intriguing.

Kane-McDavid-X
Hall-Draisaitl-X
Holloway-Nuge-Hyman

In any case, any major assets that we spend should be spent on D/G. A Bjugstad-type addition is all I'm expecting up front come the deadline.

Bourgault and Lavoie on the RW lol

Lol.

In all seriousness, if you somehow also keep Brown, he fills one spot, and it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to fill the other, even if it's Lavoie/Foegele/Janmark.

I do not see him coming back to Edmonton anytime soon

I don't get the Ceci hate. The guy has completely blown away my expectations since coming here. He makes relatively little money and has absolutely helped Nurse out on that pairing.

I can't imagine getting a significant upgrade on him at his cap hit.

Ceci has been horrendous the last 2 playoff runs, wasn't good most of last regular season either. I don't know who has been worse between him and Nurse but I do know that the two of them together is a recipe for utter disaster if a team is serious about winning a Cup.

I don't even blame Ceci. He's a fine #4/#5 on a good team much like Kulak but he's being played as a 2/3 here and he's clearly overwhelmed in that role. It doesn't help that the guy he replaced has elevated his game big time in Seattle.

My psychic powers say he will be in Edmonton on .... November .... 15th of this year.

His 3.25 mill cap hit means you could theoretically get back a 6.5 million player if the other team retains 50% (which teams generally will at the deadline because they want picks).

We already have one at home.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Ceci+ for Petry(retained 50%)

Skinner+Broberg for Saros

The first trade I think could be a shrewd move, I just want to establish that Petry is no longer the player he once was, I really don't see him as a fit or the fix for the Nurse pairing, but could be a cost effective piece that really catapults our 3rd pairing up another level.

The 2nd trade just seems like some pie in the sky thinking I doubt Saros could be had so cheaply and his contract would press our nose right up to the cap ceiling without addressing the Nurse pairing, maybe something else could be done, I think that upgrade above all others is our most glaring need.

Wrong thread

Enjoying this sled ride lololololololol.

Here’s what the Oilers should do. Hire 5 more pro scouts. Have them dedicate themselves to watching the worst teams in the League. Teams that will actually be sellers and teams where the trade target player actually wants to find a better situation and would consider Edmonton, that. Have them find the next Petry or the next Ullmark just toiling away on a bad team. That’s how you win trades, that’s how you build a contender. We can’t be going for known quantities anymore, we already blew our load with Hyman, Kane, Campbell in UFA. There’s only so much money to go around, at this point you NEED to find some bargains. Of course all of this would have been nice before Archie wasted years of the McD era with his old and tired eyes.

This strategy could have included our PTOs in a small sense too. Instead of retreads and injury recovery hopefuls we could have targeted younger, higher potential guys and just hopes something sticks.

Last year, Kostin stuck, he was a 1st rounder with high potential, toiling away on a bad team in a bad situation. It worked cause he had the necessary talent to make something happen and it worked cause he appreciated the oppurtunity to be here.
