Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Perry? Neal? Eriksson?

[Dazed and Confused]

I dont know but Allen is done as a Blue with Binnington there. If Holland trades for him to play as a 1B, the Oilers are fist ****ed. Hopefully he realises how bad of a goalie Allen is and doesn't go near that mess.

I'd be weary of Allen, but i can see some fits. Now this would have to be something like him @3mil or less for Manning.

Russell+ for Allen and Fabbri.

Maybe they'd take Lucic to replace Maroon? Please?

This entire thread is just gross.

Perry? Eriksson? Neal?

Most of it is just as a swap for Lucic.

I agree, I don't know why Toronto would trade Brown for Khaira, the cap savings would be minimal. A Brown for Benning deal makes a lot more sense from their point of view.

Because they are soft as butter and that doesn’t fly in the playoffs. (As shown)

I don’t think they do that deal anyways just because Brown is light years better but I can see why it’s being discussed.

 

[McDrai]

The Oilers acquiring something useful via trade? Haha that's a good one

 

[backhandsauce]

Would Maroon come back here?

 

[3IR]

But why?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Yeah, no thanks.

Him saying he is considering buying out players don't really say much to me. He is a good GM so he will always be weighing all options.

Him saying he doesn't intend on adding anything on defense does have my slightly worried. Although at the same time it could be him knowing what he has in Bakersfield, knows the absolute lack of capspace and that the forwards are a bigger issue. That said it also shows he isn't wanting to downgrade the defense for the forwards which is a good sign.

It'll be very interesting at what happens. Holland is known for making little to know trades. He does maybe 1-2 trades a season. Although in 2017 he did 7 trades in the calendar year but they were all selling trades.

So really any of us expecting Holland to make a bunch of trades to right the ship, will be let down.

I feel like Holland is a guy who understands the impact that media can have. If he comes out and says he wants to make big changes to the defense the price goes up, both via trade and free agency.

Well that bodes well for not moving a prospect to move Lucic (I think)...doesn't mention the D but I'd be surprised if they don't try and find room for Jones on the bottom pair...I'd be nervous if my name was Brodziak, Cave, Khaira or Gagner.

Khaira is the only guy who should feel almost-safe based on his 2017-2018 season. He has value and could be moved to a team in cap hell as part of an obvious talent-upgrade (KK or AJ on toronto or Vegas players).

 

[McDNicks17]

Yeah, no thanks.

If it involves Lucic(and I have no idea why it would), I'm OK with it.

 

[Bobblehead]

I agree, I don't know why Toronto would trade Brown for Khaira, the cap savings would be minimal. A Brown for Benning deal makes a lot more sense from their point of view.

Brown for Khaira will be $1M - $1.1MM. That's quite a bit for a team strapped for cap room. I agree that Benning makes more sense from a positional need.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

But why?

Yeah, no thanks.

Welp time to fire up the "FIRE HOLLAND" thread before someone else does.

 

[Joey Moss]

The Oilers obviously have no room for Zaitsev, just Dreger trying to stir the pot.

Unless they're taking Russell back. Still makes no sense.

 

[McDNicks17]

Lucic and Benning for Zaitsev and Brown.

Maybe throw in a 2nd or something? I don't know.

 

[Seachd]

There will be one by the draft.

They wanted toughness, maybe Lucic?

 

[dssource]

Just read a pathetic article saying pulj as the sweetener in the Lucic - Eriksson deal. Holland better not be that stupid. If that's the ask, you politely tell vancouver to f off a d keep their trash at home.

Just popped by to say that. Hope you all are having a good summer so far.

 

[ZJuice]

I trust Holland not to make any Chiarelli level (Yakupov brain) moves

Could be a Russell to someone else and Zaistev in with sweetener?

 

[MessierII]

Russell/Zaitsev as a basis is awful for us. Russell is better, cheaper and on a way shorter term deal.

 

[FlameChampion]

Do people think we could get Varlamov on a cheap, short term contract?

He had a bit of a rough year but has some decent stats over his career. He has had some injury issues though.

I think we need someone who has the potential to be a starter.

What goalies do you think we should target?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

But why?

Lol what the hell. No thanks.
