Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: "Wanted Dead or Alive: A Goalie, Defense & Depth (preferably alive)

"It's all the same only the names will change. Everyday, we're wasting away..."

BECAUSE THERE ARE HARDLY ANY JUICY RUMORS OUT THERE TO DISCUSS.

/rant.

Last thread well over 40 pages again.

Apparently Stauffer hinted Kassian to Pittsburgh earlier today.

Jujhar may be getting a qualifying offer but Kahun may not.

May not be any handshake deals with Nuge or Larsson prior to the expansion draft as well.

If I misread anything from the last thread posted above, please correct me.

I'd rather see Kahun get qualified over Khaira, and I like the Surrey Boy.

Piss away!!

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Can we get back to pinning rumors on the top of the page or have a dedicated thread to just rumors with no discussion?

He's also not wrong. They're both right wings and also both quite small.

Gallagher and Caufield are also quite small RWers. I guess the Habs should trade one of them

Nothing wrong with having a 2-3 smaller players in the lineup as long as the average height/weight of the team is above average.

Garland can deflect the puck off his face into the net. Matheson cannot.
Lol at still being hung up on size like its 1995

Montreal getting a look at level playing field from the far US south lol.
No state tax and Montreal at about 15 percent provincial for these guys. So about 86 mill vs about 112.5 equivalency.
Or montreal average of about 3.7 per 23 man roster vs 4.9 mill average per 23 man roster.

It is 1995

Let’s just trade Draisaitl. We don’t need two #1 C’s

sorry but this reasoning is just horrid

I'm not particularly hung up on player size. It's nice to have a couple skilled power forward type guys, but it's certainly not the be-all, end-all.

I wouldn't be over the moon about paying Garland $5-6m+ long-term plus the cost to acquire. He's got a pretty short history of offensive production and I think Arizona is probably concerned about upside more than anything.

If I'm paying up for an RFA in his mid-20s, why not wait out San Jose on Timo Meier?

They're also getting a first hand look at a team that broke the cap ceiling by almost 30%

@Bryanbryoil Virtanen is in the midst of court case after some serious allegations were levelled towards him.

Nothing has been proven in a court of law yet though.

 

[Heavy Dee]

That 6.75 Gallagher extension won't age well.

 

[Llamamoto]

Apparently Viktor Arvidsson could be OTB.

He's be a great add for us.

Just taking the piss at this point.

 

[Brown Cat]

Holy shit, the things yotes fans want for Garland are absurd.

But we're already below average. This past year our toughest players were more or less Draisaitl and Nurse.

Well when we do get a tough guy like say Kassian they tend to check out or can't even look at a guy funny without being penalized.

I can't decide who needs to retire first, him or Terry Jones

This has been a softer, finesse team for too long. Patchwork D and goaltending. The high end talent is on the team, here’s a shot to build backend out targeting Hamilton, Ulmark then strong, two way complementary players with high end motors:


Coleman McDavid Pulju
Rnh Draisaitl Saad
Goodrow Bozak Yamo
Benson McLeod Archibald

Nurse Hamilton
? Bouchard
Russell Larsson

Ulmark

Too much salary but principle is to reshape into a better balanced team that is assertive, physical and balanced. Versatility with Nuge able to shift between Coleman and Saad when they need to stack McDavid and Draisaitl.

EDIT: The Oil aren’t getting all these players but they are player types I think will improve 5 v 5 play and make them harder to play against while improving goal suppression.
