Trade assets for a ufa wtf? For what, our playoff run this year?

Edit: he still has a extra year. But still doesn't change my mind. He'd be too expensive to attain.

Get real

Some of you guys are out of your minds. First the team doesn't have the cap space. Second the team doesn't have or can't afford to give assets away to dump salary. Plain and simple, the team needs to continue adding and developing till some of the boat anchor contracts can be moved cheaply or wait till the term is finished. There's no short cut, just take the straight path and don't venture from it. We've seen what happens when the plan* changes.


* they didn't really have a plan, they thought just draft high and it builds itself. Forwards first, defense idgaf mentality.

The Hall talk is most likely Stauffer pandering to his audience. He knows it'll get people talking because a lot of people here would take Hall back. If there's actually any inside info behind it that should be extremely worrisome since we don't have a full time GM in place, and that would mean that the new GM is going to be a puppet for MacT/Howson/Lowe or even worse one of them will be the next GM.

 

[Soundwave]

My guess would be Hall signs in Buffalo if he doesn't stay in NJ.

Dahlin-Eichel-Hall is a strong trio if he wants to win.

 

[Gordievsky]

I would not come back if I was Hall. Nothing personal, just too weird.

 

[Soundwave]

For him to come back I think Connor McDavid would have to get on a full court press and personally call him and tell him they need him back, lets finish what we started, we can win here together etc. etc. etc.

That's the only way I could see him considering it.

So basically pull a Lebron James lol

 

[Soundwave]

Basically yes.

That said if he's unwilling to sign an extension with New Jersey ... they may be forced to trade him for something next season rather than have him walk for nothing. That's where I'm going "hmmm. Interesting".

 

[belair]

Like I said, they need to make this happen:

Gagner - McDavid - x
Hall - Drai - Cogliano
x - RNH - Yakupov

Klefbom - Petry
Sekera - Schultz

Dubnyk

How could you bring Cogs back and not invite Rowbear?

Might as well bring back Tammy err Tom Gilbert too

 

[CycloneSweep]

Wonder what Columbus would want for Wennberg, nevermind he ain't a scorer

He sounds like an Oiler already.

 

[MoontoScott]

Are there any rumours surrounding the Oilers?

The latest is that they are not very good.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

check yo facts.

they are quite awful.

Gretzky may as well have Monday's post deadline presser tonight.

Philp sounds like he could be a hidden gem.

Sooooo glad the stellar tandem of MacT and Howson are the ones scouting him.

 

[ImmuneEH]

Watch Calgary sign him -.-

For real, that would make a great depth add. Probably starts the year with the Condors? Marody 1C McLeod 2C, Yamamoto 1RW, Maksimov 2RW. He has a lot of competition.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Hall will go to Colorado. They have cap room, a decently talented squad and an incoming top 5 pick.

 

[CycloneSweep]

No ones moving. May end up with less picks for current prospects.

Interesting to hear that everyone wants Samorukov, that bodes well for us imo

I keep forgetting he's Oiler property. He looks like a keeper.

 

[CycloneSweep]

It's nice that he is a left shot guy too, we are heavy on the righties. Even though he was drafted a season before, he is only 3 months older than Bouchard.

 

[CycloneSweep]

So I wonder if all that Boston scouting is going to go to waste.

I swear I hear Buffalo, Arizona and Colorado are going to be good every year.

Never happens.

Who do we really want from there?
