Rumor: Rumors & Proposals: What is Chia the Terrible going to pull out next?

[tempest2i]

What is Larsson's contract like? What's the term and will he be an RFA or UFA at the end of it?

Signed until 2021. 4.16 AAV. UFA.

$4,166,667 per season until 2021 and then he is a UFA.

 

[Seachd]

Man am I sad

Has any insider confirmed Lucic will be signing here since Lucic called BS? I know he's gotta be coming if we traded Hall, but just wanted to see if it has been confirmed.

Dreger said he would be shocked if it doesn't happen.

A very friendly $4.1 million contract for 5 more years.

 

[McIce Whole]

Because he had the most own zone starts in the league?

Greene played even less PP time than Larsson did. He has been a 40 point D twice in his career.

No he hasn't. He's hit 37 points and 32 points. Those were his most productive seasons and he hit 37 points when the Devils had Kovalchuk, Parise, Elias still producing etc.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

28th, here we come. Movin' on up.

If the Oilers defense stayed the same they would finish 30th.

 

[Del Preston]

So does the Larsson trade eliminate Demers? I would think Chia would be looking for an offensive dman now.

It's got to be Barrie or Shatty via trade.

I think they consider Larsson to be their offensive Dman.

 

[Soundwave]

Larsson is it. If Barrie was on the table we would have dealt Taylor for him. Shattenkirk doesn't want to sign here or anywhere out West from the looks of it.

You mean, Greene, a defenceman who scored less points than Larsson did this year (with a much lower +/-), was most successful when he was playing behind forwards less talented than ours?

Huh.

It could be better than we think.

We definitely lose the trade, but if we sign Lucic and can grab another defenceman we look like a much better hockey club.

Lucic-McDavid-Pulju
Pouliot-Draisaitl-Eberle
Maroon-RNH-Yak / Korpi / Pak
Hendo-Letestu-Kassian

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Demers
Nurse-Reinhart

Talbot
????

That is a significantly more balanced club.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Of course I would have liked a add from the Devils in this deal, but I think it's pretty telling if you read through the first couple pages on Devils board some don't like the trade at all for them and most are mixed emotions about it. Welcome to the Oilers Larsson think him and Klefbom are going to be a very good pairing for us for a long time and only going to cost us about 8m a year.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

It's got to be Barrie or Shatty via trade.

I hope so

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Shattenkirk
Davidson - Gryba/Reinhart/Nurse

I like it

If there's a city that shouldn't count it's chickens...

 

[PBandJ]

I think they consider Larsson to be their offensive Dman.

Then this season is tanked too when an 18 point player is consider our offensive d-man.

 

[Arpeggio]

Do we think there's any dark horse free agents that the Oilers could be in on aside from Lucic and Demers?

 

[Asher]

Then this season is tanked too when an 18 point player is consider our offensive d-man.

I assume he'll put up more points getting primo minutes on the PP and with McD. Whether that qualifies him as an offensive Dman is still questionable, however, I get that.

 

[Soundwave]

Larsson needs to develop his offence, but I do like other aspects of his game.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Do we think there's any dark horse free agents that the Oilers could be in on aside from Lucic and Demers?

Kris Russell I think is a realistic possibility. For better or worse.
Maybe Zach Redmond. Or Jamie McGinn. Chia has always loved him.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

no they don't

Chia said as much

 

[Asher]

no they don't

Chia said as much

Unless they've somebody else better coming in he'll have to be.

 

[Soundwave]

no they don't

Chia said as much

Who are they planning to trade for that player then? McDavid? lol. I think realistically this is it. Hopefully Larsson develops well for us.

 

[BigTime99]

Now that a opening for RHD on the devils, does that not seem a likely landing spot for shattenkirk?

 

[syz]

Who are they planning to trade for that player then? McDavid? lol. I think realistically this is it. Hopefully Larsson develops well for us.

Betting RNH for Dumba is still on the table. Maybe Chiarelli's just waiting for Minnesota to throw in a 4th rounder.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

no they don't

Chia said as much

He said 'offence isn't his forte', but he could just be referring to his past career up to this point. Chia did go on about the potential he saw in Larsson, 'just scratching the surface', and so forth. I don't doubt Larsson will be used in a lot more situations this year to open up that offence.

 

[The Nuge]

Unless they've somebody else better coming in he'll have to be.

Free agency hasn't even started. I doubt we strike out completely with trades and free agency
