Curious where Duclair goes. I'm really about bringing in some proven players, but he just intrigues me too much to discount bringing him in.
I'm also watching this and I'm with you I think he would make a good fit here, getting him out of AZ might just be what he needs.Curious where Duclair goes. I'm really about bringing in some proven players, but he just intrigues me too much to discount bringing him in.
My thought process is I still want Maroon at a decent rate and decent term. However, if Duclair doesn't cost a lot and you can give him a trial run now. It would really help you this off-season in making other decisions depending on Maroon.I'm also watching this and I'm with you I think he would make a good fit here, getting him out of AZ might just be what he needs.
Maybe become something of what Versteeg was the Hawks for the Oilers.
I feel like Maroon might not resign here. After his fiance got harassed for his hit on Doughty and got death threats I think he may want to move on for her sake.
RW? I don't think Benson has ever played RW in his life.
No...but I bet it has his fiance not wanting to be in this city.Because there is no internet anywhere else.
I still can't see that being legitimate. It doesn't pass the smell test to me as to why 'fans' would be harassing her.No...but I bet it has his fiance not wanting to be in this city.
Most other fan bases don't have bat**** fans like that.
There's always interest in a big guy with skill who scores, plus Maroon is aggressive.Because there is no internet anywhere else.
Philadelphia "politely" disagrees.Most other fan bases don't have bat**** fans like that.

Regardless though, I'm not sure how certain it was that Maroon is going to be re-signed in the first place.
No, I think that the internet is filled with these types of people called trolls. I can't wrap my head around anyone being so heavily invested in the outcome of an Oilers hockey game at this point to threaten the safety of Patrick Maroon's fiance after he ran Drew Doughty, which I fully endorse as a card-holding Oilers fan.So you think she made it up for a laugh or something?
The thing about crazy people is that they're irrational.
Especially when you're losing and have an obvious organizational need.I like what TM said last night, they have been looking and trying to get a back up for weeks, and that trades arent like NHL18 and usually take weeks to sort the selves out. Its not easy to make a trade in the NHL anymore.
If it was actually Oilers fans or not is a moot point. She got harassed by people online calling themselves Oilers fans. That would sour anyone on a city. Whether the people were Edmontonian, Oilers fans etc is a different argument. Fact of the matter is, it happened and Maroon has a few days off to sit pissed about it.No, I think that the internet is filled with these types of people called trolls.

I honestly can't remember which teams or who was involved, but a trade was made one year close to the deadline. Something that was probably similar to Montoya. Low end pick for a low end player. The GM came out and said they had been working on it since November.I like what TM said last night, they have been looking and trying to get a back up for weeks, and that trades arent like NHL18 and usually take weeks to sort the selves out.

OK.
But it still happened and the effects that that has on a persons psyche are still very real.
Whether it's people that were serious or 'just trolling lol!!1' doesn't actually mean anything.
I really don't know anything about this, but why would Oiler fans threaten them? I got the impression from this thread that this was about the Doughty hit, so wouldn't that be Kings fans?If it was actually Oilers fans or not is a moot point.

In the end I think this plays very little in swaying whether or not he re-signs here.
In all honesty, he and Letestu are our biggest trade chips as playoff rentals.

Like how the **** does something so small take months? Pretty sure the guy traded was a 4th liner or bottom pairing d-man.
I understand that the Hall trade went back a whole year, but that was two new gm's that were talking about what they potentially need and would do some evaluation first.
I don't think taking a month to get a goalie is that bad as there has been a lot of moving parts, however at times I do question how something so small could take months like it apparently does at times.

The Duchene one was quite different though. There were a lot of moving parts with that one.Look at the Duchence deal, took over a year to work out.
Its a reality that oiler fans dont put any thought into.
