Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: We're so f***ed. Shit out of luck. Hardwired to self-destruct.

Couldn’t get them to retain on Keith…

Yep, that’s where I was going with that…lol

 

[McDrai]

Here's my guess, Koskinen (50%), a 2nd and Samorukov to CBJ for Korpisalo and Foudy

*Looks up Korpisalo stats*

According to my calculations, the Dustin Schwartz effect will result in a decrease in Korpisalo's save % from .882 to .867

I mean I think the Oilers will do that alone, Schwartz will just be confused about it all.

Go Flames go?

Here's my guess, Koskinen (25%), a 2nd and Samorukov to CBJ for Korpisalo and Foudy

After that goal Korpisalo allowed… no

 

[Del Preston]

Go Flames go?

This is the only team in the league where one win is good enough to cancel out the previous 13 losses. There should be a firing regardless of tomorrow's result.

I'm a fan of the player and I agree, but here we are.

Next tweet on Sunday: "Depending on what happens on Tuesday, the Oilers could do something by Thursday."

And so on.

Wake me up when these turkeys do something.

Korpisalo did this a few minutes ago:



Tell me that's not Leako in a Blue Jackets jersey.

Haha whoops. Made some killer saves in the first though. Certainly gives Koskinen vibes. I hope we aim a bit higher.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

You don't have to convince me, getting Korpisalo is completely stupid, but we're at stupid.

This should have been a trade in atleast the offseason for f*ck sakes.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I put it at 50% chance, depending on how he does at the Olympics, the Oilers sign Dubnyk afterwards.

 

[jukon]

Only the Oilers would replace struggling goalie with a goalie worse than him.

This is such BS logic, it hurts my brain. Any given team in NHL has a fair chance to win any given game. Deciding a coaches fate based on the binary result of one game is pure lunacy.

Yeah, but this is what happens when he starts the year on the team, WHICH HE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT.

Tippet is awful. We needed a coaching change a month ago. Any further loses are all on Holland at this point.

I got time for Korpisalo.. he might just need a change of scenery and wouldn't cost more than Koskinen straight up.

At this point he totally would, but not a TON more.

 

[T-Funk]

I'm probably an annoying broken record on this but Koskinen is untradeable. The issue is that the only teams that can absorb even half his hit are not ones he'd waive his NTC for.

I'm sure out of 17 teams, they could find a taker for half if the deal was right. Just gotta squeeze a little.

 

[trent_vinyl]

RNH is going to age like milk that's already been left out for 12 hours.

If the Oilers can bail out of that deal they might as well take it. Getting an actual starter is just icing on the cake.

I agree. RNH is, in reality, one of the problems here. A guy who is talented but rarely goes the extra mile. How many fly-bys does the guy do per game rather than hitting someone. He has 3 goals in 30 games playing wing for 2 of the best centre's in the world and playing 1st unit PP.

Oh yeah, he also can't seem to lead his own line either.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I have time for one of these guys.

 

[BudBundy]

Ok I would take JJ over Shore a millions times.

Sadly JJ is one solid bodycheck away from a concussion-ended career.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I have time for one of these guys.

I don’t see Washington or St Louis moving those guys

 

[Mr Positive]

That sounds like one of those moves that would be great today, so that if it didnt work we could still have time to get someone else.

I'm not a Korpisalo fan tho, but I could be wrong

St Louis would LOVE to get assets for Husso, because he's not good. And I could see Washington wanting to explore assets for Vanecek, because they have Samsonov as a future starter.

Edit: In a world where Smith is actually healthy (I know), I wondered if they would entertain a Smith++ for Vanecek, because then they get a good veteran guy to support young Samsonov. But no way they explore that at all.
