Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Draft Day

[MessierII]

Yes with McDavid and Drai threatening to leave the team if no success comes, we need a prospect ready in 3-4 years when they’re gone

A goalie prospect would have been longer. This guy could make an impact soon. What prospects are you willing to offer? Samurokov? Broberg?

Ummm yes to both? Hahaha
The only prospect off the table for me is Bouchard, Holloway. Everyone else could go for the right price.

On the bright side the worst thing we did was not draft someone who could be a starter in 8 years.

Would've been just in time to take over for Mike Smith...

 

[Snipes45]

Haven't heard Jayden Schwartz' name out there. He seems like he would be a good pick up short term with how he plays. Good old Saskatchewan boy.

 

[North]

is that why we traded assets for duncan keith?

A healthy scratch and a conditional third? Yes such a heavy price.

Cap space is an asset. We misused it.

Or draft someone who could be Minnesota's starter in 8 years...

What's next for Eichel, Sabres? Where do talks stand between Leafs, Oilers for Hyman? - TSN.ca

Is there a scenario where Jack Eichel isn't moved and has to return to the Sabres? Where do the Canadiens and Jets stand on the trade market? TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger discuss these topics and discuss the latest on Zach Hyman and the work that needs to get done between the Maple Leafs and Oilers.

Knight was out of college and played 2 years later. Wallstedt is out of a men’s league.

Nice moves from the canes to get 2 2nds for that late 1st

Same here. If something legit and meaningful could be added, I would put anybody else on the table. Very small chance any of them contribute anything during our window.

I really love when people use personal stats to judge players from bad teams. It will be the same when they dismiss personal stats and call them the product of the team

The gong show of people not understanding analytics is never ending

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Is there any team in the NHL that would employ the Oilers front office?

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Xavier walks in the dressing room
Xavier: Where's Connor and Leon???
-everyone else laughs-

RNH - "Sit down sonny and let me tell you some stories of when I once played with the best player in the world..."

I guarantee my fandom will go where McDavid goes. This team will instantly be relegated to the back up team I root for.

I can't believe there is this much work and speculation to hand over a 7th round pick.

 

[MessierII]

No but you get more than a dog shit 38 year old 5.5 million dollar defenseman since that's negative value.

Duncan Keith contract aside is a guy who was playing 23 minutes + in the nhl last year. If you don’t think he’s an improvement over Russell, Jones, Lagesson and Koekkoek I’m not sure what to tell you.

We are adding a top 6 forward for cap space in a few days.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Knight was out of college and played 2 years later. Wallstedt is out of a men’s league.

Just accept the humor and move on, this place takes everything so literally.

I have walls in 5 to 6 as a starter

Maybe 2 more years in Sweden, 2 years starting inthe A, year 5 as back up and starter in 6

All goalies need to see more rubber

I mean, he is, but not at the salary he makes. That's an incredibly low bar to leap over.

If he's playing 23 minutes a night for the Oilers you can say good night to any hopes of a lengthy season.

It's mindboggling lol. This is a guy who is effin leaving. Get rid of some of our deadweight and tell that twerp to f*** off and we will wait.

Primarily all of the goalies that end up good take 5 or more years to become elite. Sure, they might play in the NHL in 2-3 years, but they rarely ever end up 60+ game starters by then. Spencer Knight has played what like 5 NHL games? He likely has another season where he is in a tandem role and then if he succeeds could be 60 game starter.
