Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Draft Day

[The Safe Play]

How is that a loss for Vancouver? Even if we’re super conservative and call OEL a top 4 dman, that’s a top 4 dman and a top 6 forward for basically the same cap they were spending on 3 4th liners (or maybe even less)

Uhhh you clearly haven't seen OEL in many years.

is Arizona staying in the Pacific division, or moving to the Central?
I forgot how things shook down with re-alignment.

Difference is term. That spending of the 4th liners ends this year. OEL could be the next seabrook before LTIR

 

[Defsta]

Aatu Raty will be our pick

Hell fecking no way, I hope we trade down to second round before take him. And I'm finnish saying that.

Okay looking back at the trade OEL contract is a doozy and Van probably lost unless OEL plays like OEL again, which isn’t likely.

Sad Garland is gone though.

Holland loves to reach

That OEL contract is hella long. I do give Vancouver some credit, Arizona retained at least some of it.

Depends honestly if OEL rebounds. If he turns out to be a top 4 dman, Vancouver probably did pretty well. Theres so much risk for Vancouver in that trade though.

Hyman sounds like a lock.

Benson, /19oa
6mill, 8 years full NMC

Yeah, as much as people bitch about Keith not being a top 4D, OEL hasn’t been one for much longer and is paid a lot more and for an eternity

Who bounces back more in the next two years: OEL or Keith?

Incoming gigantic albatross we have to deal with for the next 8 mf’ing years

it's weird how some fans freak out over Keith, yet the OEL acquisition is great.
just as bad analytically, but 2x the price, and 3x the term.

I will scream out of anguish.

They are moving to the Central

5 millikon is not near an Albatross, who cares about years 6-8 when the cap will be higher? The window is now

 

[SK13]

Yeah... my gut reaction was Vancouver dumped a lot of garbage but looking at it... Eriksson, Beagle and Roussel were all up after this year. They added a 7M problem defenseman and traded the 9th overall pick for a few million in short term cap space and Connor Garland.

They might be a better team for it but I'm not sure by how much. It seems desperate.

Neither.

 

[McFlash97]

its so annoying to see mutiple posts for days about Hyman signing with Edmonton, but other good players are avail and this organization is so fixated on 1 fn third liner

 

[McVirginOil]

That’s tough, OEL has age but Keith is actually slightly better than OEL imo. Keith is like a Barrie with worse offence and OEL is just really really bad. We’ll see what happens but maybe Keith? But most likely neither bounce back lol

 

[McBigYak]

I mean, he will be a very effective player if his knees hold up for the next half decade.

The term is long, but I"m not sure you how can consider the contract an albatross immediately. Kind of ridiculous.

 

[Oilhawks]

Nah, we should walk from him and go into next year with no additional top 6 depth aside from hoping Holloway blasts out of a cannon (he might)

What third liner are they fixated on?

Hyman will be overpaid starting year 5. We got 4 years or him at most, and I like him

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Yikes! Those last few years are going to hurt.

I'm not a fan of his upcoming long term expensive contract, but he's not a 3rd liner. That's a narrative of yours that needs to be changed.
