Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Neal gone. Now what?

[5 14 6 1]

Nurse - Barrie
Keith - Bouchard
Ceci - Bear
Russel

Won’t see me complain at least on paper

Ceci is a RHS

Everything is crazy today.

Why do people think we need a 3LD. Cant fill the spot with Samurokov, Lagesson, Russell, etc?

Are we trying to make the playoffs or make noise in the playoffs? If it's the former then that's good enough right now. If it's the latter, unless Samorukov has healed 100% and is ready for the step to the NHL, it is not.

What time tomorrow does free agency open?

Trading Bouchard would be beyond stupid.

Matters what the return is.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Problem is that we don't get PP in the playoffs.

We would with Perry and Getz here lmao

 

[Aerchon]

Lot of people thought petry was trash too

Petry was trash, more often than not for the Oilers, but still a lot better than Ceci was awhile back.

For the record. Ceci "could" be the best thing since sliced bread now. I am only commenting on how bad Ceci used to be. For clarity.

They need to have a mentor for our young D. Expecting Bouchard to put up Barrie or even Klefbom point is ridiculous. They need to ease him in. I’m fine with a 3 year Barrie deal.
Nurse Barrie
Keith Bouchard
Murray (or similar) Bear

Bear will be gonzo

Esay
ything is crazy today.

As Bob Cole would say

"Everything is happening!"

 

[TheNumber4]

Problem is that we don't get PP in the playoffs.

Hopefully more vet presence in the form of Kieth and Getzlaf can sway the biases of the game managers.

Nurse - Barrie
Keith - Bear
Murray /Forbort - Bouchard
Russell

or

Nurse - Barrie
Keith - Ceci
Murray /Forbort - Bouchard
Russell

I like the look of the second option a lot more.

 

[5 14 6 1]

I'd rather spend the money on Murray than Ceci...

Nurse - Barrie
Keith - Bear
Murray - Bouch

How bout a PTO to Ho Sang?
Might create some magic with McDavid if he gets a fresh start.

Looked impressive the one game he played against us a few yrs back.

I'm not sure if he's in top condition after reading this article. He was sent packing after 5 games in the SHL.

Josh Ho-Sang sent packing by European team after a handful of games | Markerzone.com

After just five games with Örebro of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), Josh Ho-Sang, who remains the property of the New York Islanders, is coming back to North America. According to Örebro's official website , Ho-Sang was cut for physical conditioning reasons.

Thanks to @Perfect_Drug for providing the link.

In what fantasy world is Keith better than Larsson?

I think people have the 2021 blinders on of how good Larsson really is.

 

[CupofOil]

Mathesson actually made a good point. Imagine Hyman replacing Chiasson as the net front guy on our already deadly Pp.

Honestly don't really care much for Hyman's PP prowess. It's his even strength scoring that they desperately need.

Anyway, if they're still in on Ceci after the Barrie signing, you'd have to think that Bear is being dealt. I'm not as big a Bear fan as some others but if they could get a good forward for him, they might as well do it because he's never going to get the opportunity here with Barrie and Bouchard soon being ahead of him on the depth chart.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Matters what the return is.

A 1RD in his prime or bust.

 

[majormajor]

Even in playoffs Tatar was creating chances, supported by analytics and *my* eye test. Just zero puck luck. Was immediately labelled soft and unfairly scratched. The fact they went on a run was despite that rather then because of it, IMO.

Yeah I didn't think he was bad either. I just would prioritize guys that actually offer an advantage in the playoffs.

What happens in the regular season doesn't matter if they get knocked out in the 1st again.

 

[TheNumber4]

You guys should know Bob is starting at 11Am tmrw. And possibly even earlier if the Oilers start gettin things done early.

I don't see Ceci replacing Bear

 

[Wreckus]

I can't see Holland trading Bouchard. Bear, on the other hand, I think is, unfortunately, too small.

Bouchard is 6'3 194lbs and probably still growing into his frame.

Bear, however, is only 5'11 @ 197lbs.

I can see Bouchard in Tippet & Holland plans for the D in the future. Bear, after this season, I don't think he fits in the Oiler plans.

pittsburgh fan said the ceci was bad in the top 4 so the first one is better

I don’t see why we can’t just make Bear a 3rd pair guy. We made the same mistake with Maroon, didn’t have room in the top 6, convinced maroon he was a top 6 guy… then he leaves and becomes the effective 4th liner (paid cheaply) like he always should have been.

For his co-workers sake, I hope they have good sanitizer for that microphone

Oilers fan say Bear was bad in the top 4 too lol so who knows
