Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Shopping List For Forwards II

It doesn't have to hits, it's not the 90s. Just being big, heavy, fast and skilled, it's hard to keep dealing with that, on the cycle, on the rush, on the forecheck.

Over a series, through the playoffs, those guys can pay dividends.


I agree, the Sharks should do this.


So, with no LTIR, it is to the Oilers advantage (mostly) to wait as late as possible to fit the most players in, basically. Trust me, I want to something to happen, but I understand why the wait is on going.

I will wait until the TDL passes to cast judgment but going on the road against Vegas during the playoffs just... doesn't seem great.

Sure, I'm trying not to doom and gloom this, because that shit largely sucks and this team isn't awful.

They have a very high level to their game, but it's definitely a put up or shut up for Holland and Co.

So it will cost us two first rounders to give the Sharks a better goaltender than the Oilers have. Interesting strategy.

This is weird, nonsense to say about a minor league back up goalie. You seem out of your depth.

Everyone thinks it’s the Flames holding up trades leading up to the deadline, but it’s really Old Man Holland who’s putting massive offers on everybody out there, but can’t pull the trigger until he maximizes cap accrual.

The bolded is so very true but the question for me....does this team have the desire and mental toughness to maintain a high enough level to win more than a round in the playoffs?
Perry helps that IMO. The team needs more though.

I mean that's the question right, it's literally impossible to know, but at least they've shown it. So I'll take it as a positive until otherwise. Take that for what it's worth.

Though I will continue to point out this team needs help, and as is doesn't give enough confidence.

Them, and the teams that "still" think they're close. Something will break soon-ish I suspect, or we'll have one hell of a deadline.

Play Campbell ten NHL games in a row. Skinner will get plenty of rest.

and cost us out playoff spot? Against all odd the Flames a winning. We are just 2 pts up on the KIngs. So it would not be hard to fall back into the wild card spot

I think we're getting close to that point. The East playoff teams are all but decided and we can do a lot to hurt the Blues chances with a win tonight.

Leave Buchnevich when you leave, lads, thanks much

Sorry.

There are a lot of interesting names.

Regardless of what some might think, the Oilers have a lot of assets to improve in a very material ways. I really hope/expect to accomplish this (to some degree)

So wrong to call that issue political but I will leave it alone.

Jimmi said that teams will drop out of it pretty soon.

I said the East was all but decided and we can really hurt the Blues chances with a win tonight, then asked them very nicely to leave Buchnevich here when they leave

Unfortunately, by terms of the site rules, that’s what it is. Those types of discussions do not lead to anything but flaming, trolling, and hurt feelings, which is why we don’t allow them in general.

Do you guys think with teams needing goalies we could actually get rid of Campbell?

 

[FlameChampion]

Kind of surprised we haven’t seen at least one trade this week

 

[McDoused]

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The best thing to do would be to leave him in the AHL, let him pad his numbers, and then swap him for a bad contract on someone else that might be easier to hide than a goalie

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So I think teams who might be willing to "eat him/try him" those prices "might" come down as the deadline approaches.

Because getting assets for a player who you might be able to use, isn't terrible.

 

[McDoused]

 

[Mr Kot]

Sure.

DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRAP!

Florida is one of the teams that worry me (about taking players) because they have alot of cap space and they're in this spot where going all in makes sense, because they might see a bit of exodus in free agency.

I wonder if they flip Knight for Mittelstadt (some sort of deal like that I mean)

 

[Jet Walters]

Flyers: Campbell

Habs: Ristolainen

Oilers: Anderson

Add minor picks/prospects but those would be the main pieces.

If the Habs are shopping Savard that might actually make sense for them. At least Anderson provides something to the Oilers instead of dead cap.
