Rumor: Rumours and Proposals Thread: The Calm Before The Storm

[Joey Moss]

The rumor at the time involved DeBrusk as well if I recall correctly.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Holy crap we dodged a bullet.

Oilers and Bruins nearly completed a deal to send Torey Krug to Edmonton last June.

This just a really bad trade proposal in blog form.

Holy f*** I would've been completely done if we did that.

Yeah. I'm going to question the sources in there.

Chia was dumb, but he wasn't borderline brain dead.

Chia is dumb. Does not surprise me if this was being discussed.

Yes, yes he was not borderline but full on brain dead mental Pejorative Sluration dumb.

The KHL is nothing like the NHL. The pace is significantly slower. I'm not sure what benefit would be here other than Puljujarvi gaining some confidence if he can be a productive player. Don't see him being able to develop things like reading the play any better in the KHL.

This is kinda huge though. Especially coming off surgery. The guy should be in the AHL developing as it is, but can't be. Him playing in a lessor league getting confidence back and back to 100% isn't a bad thing IMO.

Holy crap we dodged a bullet.

I don't know how accurate that is. I remember hearing similar things, but it was kinda denied at the time. I don't know that the actual package was ever really confirmed.

If it was that bad for us, why did Boston not do it? Krug has questions marks on his overall game and is a UFA next year.

The true deals rarely seem to ever come out. There was a nice article years ago where Burke opened up about the Pronger and Smyth trade, but that was really the first time I ever saw anyone credible give a journal to what was going on behind the scenes.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Well, remember that he did trade Hall for Larsson straight up, so I wouldn't put this past him.

Deal was nixed by ownership and BN.

There was a ton of smoke about Boston and Edmonton last year, and I remember these rumors. What's always hard to parse is how much of this is just 2 teams discussing possibilities, rather than a hard deal that was 10 minutes from going through.

 

[Seachd]

No, refresh my memory.

 

[Little Fury]

Yeah. I'm going to question the sources in there.

The writer clarified in a tweet that there was something else coming back from Boston, but it couldn't have been much.

Piece I quoted said Edmonton backed out when Bouchard fell.

 

[Little Fury]

No, refresh my memory.

Ignore misread

That article forgot to mention the part where Debrusk was part of the trade return.

 

[BudBundy]

Yeah. I'm going to question the sources in there.

Not that brain dead? There is a whole lot of evidence to the contrary and I wouldn’t doubt this ragged arse disgusting deal wasnt almost consummated.

 

[McJadeddog]

Yeah. I'm going to question the sources in there.

Chia was dumb, but he wasn't borderline brain dead.

I reference the Hall/Larsson trade as exhibit 1.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I reference the Hall/Larsson trade as exhibit 1.

At this point, I'm surprised he's not given more credit for not trading McDavid, because Hall/Larsson.

 

[guymez]

The good news...Chiarelli is gone.

 

[Little Fury]

That article forgot to mention the part where Debrusk was part of the trade return.

Where was that cited? There were rumours of a trade involving Debrusk and Krug in December last year, but that was for RNH.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

That article forgot to mention the part where Debrusk was part of the trade return.

Really? That’s a pretty big piece.

 

[belair]

Where was that cited?

Common sense.

I remember the rumours being 'cited' by Jimmy Murphy regarding this trade. The 10th was never a part of it. This is nothing more than an unsubstantiated clickbait article.

 

[McAsuno]

The good news...Chiarelli is gone.

Another season with Chiarelli would've resulted in further catastrophe. Least the old boys club is getting rinsed up as well.
