Proposal: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Brouwer Bought Out

[McShogun99]

If I’m Davidson and PC wants to sign me I’d be demanding a full NTC just so I can actually stay with the team for a full season.

 

[backhandsauce]

Eberle's last year of his contract. Where do you think he signs? I have a feeling Calgary........

I'd then be phoning the next guy. Davidson shouldn't even be getting a one-way deal at this point in time, but PC could maybe give him that.,

 

[joestevens29]

Didn't TM have Davidson playing top pairing with Larsson for a stretch last season? Davidson was playing quite well too. I'd absolutely call Davy first.

If that was the case you'd think they would've kept him.

NJ

 

[frag2]

NJ

Prolly one or the other. NJ to be with his bff or Calgary with his family/wife's family

 

[Del Preston]

Paul Postma, Tommy Wingels, and Lance Bouma have signed in Europe.

That’s only if Hall dosen’t leave.

 

[Smartguy]

This I would be shocked if Hall doesn’t test FA in a couple years, guy is going to want to be on a contender, I don’t see NJ doing any real damage soon either

Hall will be careful. If he's happy I think he stays in NJ. He is enjoying not being criticized everyday of his life.

Would lol if he came back here. It'll be like the Why Hall was traded again thread all over again

NJ has a pretty good stable of young players and tons of cap space to add to it, I think they can make a push in a couple of years.

Yeah. Some guys just don't have the mental toughness to handle criticism in a gate driven league where they are making 6 million US dollars per year. Feel for those guysss.

Ha... as an Eberle fan I sorta hope he does, it would be the next best thing to signing in EDM (no chance there)

 

[joestevens29]

CGY spending 6-7mil on Eberle would be great from a division rival stand point.

 

[Little Fury]

Man why you gotta do Looch like that.

 

[t0nedeff]

Nurse and Benning had good fancies together. That’s probably our 2nd pair.

Benning playing top 4 next year will crater this team.

 

[joestevens29]

It's not even about mental toughness though. A lot of it is seeing the difference NHL cities really are when compared to each other. Hall was here for 6 years and really didn't know any better. He never really complained as much as he has been surprised at how much easier NJ is.

He now strikes me as a guy that will be doing a lot of homework before deciding to play for another team. He embraced a role as a leader as well in NJ and took Nico under his wing. Might be tough to convince him to leave now.

Although if NJ did have two bad seasons in a row he could start thinking twice.

 

[joestevens29]

Benning playing top 4 next year will crater this team.

He's a guy that you want to see get some chances when other's are banged up, but ideally his on the bottom pairing for most the year.

If he were to end up there at the end of the year on a healthy roster that would've been fine, because he would've more than likely earned it beating out Russell and Sekera.

 

[joestevens29]

Girardi, TVR, Coburn, Erickson, Bouwmeester, Petrovic

Just at a quick glance I suspect this is what is going to be somewhat obtainable. But my god that's not even good. I mean maybe you get Petrovic and he bounces back.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I'd be down for Davidson or Emelin if there is no one that we can land via trade.

They've got cap problems of their own coming up they used up most of their cap room this year. I'll say New Jersey.

 

[Soundwave]

For all the "Faulk can be had for a 2nd" talk ... really? So what's the hold up with such a trade?

The Oilers advertised everywhere during the season that they were looking to add a d-man, and now have Sekera with a torn achilles. If that was the price, he'd be on a plane to Edmonton for a press conference already multiple times.

If it's just some generic 2nd + lame prospect as the ask, plenty of teams like Chicago can offer that too, Faulk could just as well say "trade me to Chicago instead of Edmonton".

If that trade isn't made in the next couple of days, I'd say odds are high Carolina is asking for far more. Now that they know about the Oilers need on D the price likely also went up.

That makes sense, though I doubt (as you seem to I think) that Faulk can be had for a 2nd.

I was thinking something along the lines of Benson, Jones, 2nd(2019) & 3rd(2020) has a possible package.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

With the extra cap I really think Nyquist is the ideal target. He could probably be had for a 2nd, 3rd, and Cagguila.

And a definite "no" to a rushed trade for a defenseman. We have some of the best D prospects we've had in a long time in Bouchard, Bear, Jones, Persson, Lagesson, Samurakov, and Berglund. Trading our 1st next year for a guy like Faulk would be idiotic.
