Proposal: Rumours and Proposals Thread: Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

[CantHaveTkachev]

I think the Leafs match any offer Marner signs...even at 12.5 mil

 

[Little Fury]

WTF is happening, is this a tripadvisor forum?

C'mon mods.

Yeah don't want to miss any important developments in the world of hockey in mid-July.

*cue cricket sounds*

This thread is making me hungry, which is a nice distraction from being mad at the Oilers.

Dzingel for only slightly more then 3 mill for only 2 years .....

un f***ing beleivable


This GM is an aging bumbling idiot

boy I was wrong when thinking Holland is going to at least get a little help for our stars.

there goes our last real chance to get any help for Leon and Connor up front for this coming year.

Dzingel wanted to play in the States. That happens a lot with players who are American.

Critical thinking is your friend.

 

[North]

Not close from the flames perspective

Then they can keep him.

Maybe. I’m just saying I’m not giving up a lot for Bennett. He’s a 3rd line winger. Yeah he’s kinda youngish and maybe has some upside but he’s not a center and not a scorer.

Fair enough, how long do you plan on giving Holland a break before you stop defending him ? 2 years ? 3 years ?

Dzingel might never have signed here and yes I am a bit edgy with him because it almost appears he thinks the Oiler's are ok with status quo heading into next season.

that's what we get from interviews and direction.

getting paid 3 million to move and shake. Not sit and hope.

It would be nice to see a young GM thinking outside the box to get them out of a tough situation, and he hasn't pulled any strings yet in a positive direction.

If sitting idle waiting for contracts to expire and term to get less is what you consider positive , that comes at a price.. burning off another year of Connor and Leon.

Good luck with that, the Cap still counts.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Yes please. we need more mayhem in the NHL. A big Marner offersheet will send some ripples around the league.

I gotta say, I respect Columbus alot the past year for going all in. I think some of the trades are dicey as those short term rentals were not going to return. But Jarmo has some brass balls. I do not know if I would have made those moves, but entertaining to watch

Agreed, there's no downside, an offersheet is an attempt to improve your team and at worst you put an opponent in a bind.

Can all the Calgarians who are ******** that people aren't worshiping their downtown core please stop?

Ya I thought this was a hockey forum, not some little pissing match

"Technically thats still a promotion from edmonton" louie

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Not a fan of this.

Which jagoff was that?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Obviously the Jets would match any offer, but with all the rumours of the Jets and Laine not being close, why doesn't someone drop a big offersheet on him.

Goal scoring is the hardest thing, and he's largely very good at it.

You mean thats what you and a few get. Blame the anchors Chia left Holland with. Can't do much with no money and the only way the Oilers can open up cap space is by attaching either a high pick or a top prospect.

I'm not 'happy' with the inactivity but I'm willing to see what happens after this 'alleged' Lucic signing bonus payout next week before I make judgement.

I'm neither positive nor negative...just a whole lot of meh

People are scared to spend a shit ton on a guy who isn't doing anything if he’s not scoring.

 

[MessierII]

With the lack of cap we have waiting till a couple of guys get desperate and sign for cheap might not be the worst plan. If we can swing Maroon + Brassard for 3.5 total or something along those lines in a few weeks that’s pretty good.

He looked like a non physical Lucic with a great shot last season . I think teams would be afraid of his inconsistency and the fact that he is far from a complete player.

Pizza boy isn't an NHL play right now

 

[jeg]

To be honest im ok with all the lines except the 2nd ( which is very important)
Move Lucic and Puljujarvi, slide down Chaisson add 2 top 6 wingers later were in the money......

 

[Heavy Dee]

I saw in a Twitter thread apparently recapping the 31 thoughts podcast where Friedman said Marner is contemplating 12.5 x 7 from NYI but he's afraid Leafs might match.

Wouldn't that imply he DOESNT want to be in Toronto? Sounds like he's okay long term elsewhere but not with the Leaves

Makes little sense... Wasn't it Lou who screwed over Marner on the bonuses?

 

[Ragss]

Calgary vs Edmonton always amused me. Two mediocre cities, objectively extremely similar, rabidly arguing over which city is more or less mediocre than the other. In the history of Canada, nobody's dying wish has ever been to visit either of these cities.

Lou is trying to pay him back now

Ya Lou f'd him over but it could just be a Marner upset at organization as a whole. I've said before that this Marner/Matthews thing will probably be a repeat of Sens Daigle/Yashin. The non 1st overall player consistently out performing the 1st overall player but organization keeps pumping up the latter's tires
