Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Perry an Oiler | Mod Warning Post #1953

Wonder if we do something that might be a bit unpopular if the right player isn’t available and attach the first to Campbell and make cap space. That would then i believe that covers bonus and have them hit this year.

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Sincerely this is a great call by the Oilers, Holloway gets games and the Oilers bank a little more cap

Dont get injured my friend!!
Hopefully this saves us some deadline cap

 

[TheNumber4]

?

Oh so he can get games during the break?

 

[Soli]

Not sure if just cap savings but Bakersfield plays tonight lol, Wednesday (Jan 31), Friday (Feb 2nd), Saturday (Feb 3rd) before the Oilers play against Vegas (Feb 6th).

Watch these highlights and tell me we don't need this Snipe Show on our Team. So many goals from distance, so many "out of nowhere" goals with his elite wrister. Teams can and will clog up the net front against us, we will need to able score in more ways than just passing into the net. Tank provides exactly what we need and bolsters an area of weakness on this team. Marchessault provides this kind of shooting threat for the Knights and he won a Conn Smythe.

Tarasenko would be a great rental add and we have the Staios connection.

if Giroux becomes available he would be much better fit than Tarasenko for our top6.

The money doesn't work for Giroux though.

It's possible to get Tarasenko down to $1.25M with double retention. You likely won't get any of Giroux's $6.5M retained since he has another year on his deal.

Tank or Bust for me.

Why does every player we get need to be a puck hounding winger, net front battler, or centerman. Redundancy hasn’t worked for us in the past. It’s time to try something new. Which is the same thing McCrimmon did when they targeted Barbashev.

 

[McDoused]

Konecny was a -4 tonight against the bruins. With Tippett signing his contract I wonder if that makes him more or less likely to be traded.

I also have a lot of time for Scott Laughton for 3C and Sean Walker on the RD.

I don’t mind Laughton either and still like Walker (but kinda worried about his size now)

Truth. If you want a cap bargain you gotta target the UFA status.

That statement by McCrimmon seems so weird to me. The way he described Barbashev is how I'd describe most guys on Vegas haha. "plays hard, goes to the net, gets to the inside, kills penalties". I'd probably use Barbashev as an example for finding guys that fit your team's style/system more than anything.

I think there is something to say about a team being more consistent when every line plays the same.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Nic Dowd anyone?

Lol honestly I thought the same but I assumed there was some aspect of Barbesgevs game they thought was lacking. And maybe it only have to be one quality, like for Tank it’s his sniping, but he also has puck protection and offensive IQ in spades that we already have.

 

[belair]

I'd aim higher.

 

[TheNumber4]

I'd aim higher.

Heard he was one of the best 4th liners in the league? Might have been a year or 2 ago though.

 

[Thomas Tatar]

With LA free falling wonder if Doughty to Edmonton becomes a possibility.

Doughty at 50% is 5.5M

Ceci+Kulak out Doughty+Broberg in would be close to a wash cap wise.
A whole lot of sweetners would need to be attached for LA to help out divisional rival

No thank you. The last person I’d want on this team. I despised Perry but am ok with him signing here. However, Doughty tops my list of hate.

I’m buying what you’re selling.

Still an excellent bottom 6er who apparently, but not surprisingly, has a bunch of teams looking at him.

 

[McDrai]

Idk man. I’d rather Holloway get some rest during the break considering the injury woes he’s had

 

[Mr Positive]

If we seem this good maybe we shouldn't be eager to trade our 1st.

If there's an amazing opportunity, sure, but a lot of the time deadline adds can be flubs. We need to be sure that it is an actual need and worth kicking someone else off the team for

 

[Canovin]

Get Lavoie some games on the 2RW

 

[oil Leaks]

Alexandre Carrier looked real good out there tonight. He has risen in my RHD power rankings haha

I’m always pretty impressed with him when I watch him. I’d have to do a deeper dive into what kind of competition he faces but honestly would they move him? I guess I never thought they’d trade Ekholm either.
