Rumor: Rumours & Proposals | Lock It Up, Apparently We're Set.

[Giggli G]

If Marleau is coming to Edmonton, and as reported Thornton wants to sign with Marleau (or at least doesn't want to sign in San Jose without him)... Trade Nuge?

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Bonino or Stone would be great adds.

 

[SometimesY]

Vets really help bring a locker room together, but from what tidbits we hear from the players, the room is solid. We needed them before when it seemed like the team didn't gel or stand up for each other.

I don't think we need any vets. No old guys and definitely no one on a multi year contract.

 

[Paralyzer008]

I'm not so sure that Pouliot being bought out means July 1 additions.

More of a "we're ready to cave into a large Draisaitl deal if need be"

 

[PaPaDee]

There had better be some other moves coming after the Pouliot buyout (even though the buyout still probably isn't justified in my mind); otherwise, Chia looks like an idiot for doing this.

But don't we have enough cap space for this next year for Draisaitl's contract, even if it's on the higher end of projections?

I think a lot of Oiler fans would be happy with McDavid, Draisaitl and an alumni team.
haha.

 

[Not Robin Brownlee]

Everything is happening!!

 

[nhlisajoke]

this gives us a chance to offer someone a 2 year contract instead of 1...nuge is done next summer

it could also just be a roster spot for even a depth signing.

ie. if you play pulju
maroon-mcd-pulju
lucic-drai-strome
caggiula-rnh-slepyshev
khaira/UFA-letestu-kassian
pakarinen, UFA/Khaira

We don't need to add vets just because they're vets, no.

We could use some more vets that are good at playing hockey, though. Especially on the wings.

 

[PaPaDee]

If we could find a good 3rd line center for around $2.5M for a couple years, it might be a worthwhile move.

Ya that's dumb because you're forcing Khaira into the lineup, as well as Puljujarvi. Makes no sense to intentionally be that shallow on the wings.

Please tell me we aren't really trying to sign a 38 year old Patrick Marleau.

 

[Canovin]

Maroon-McDavid-Williams
Lucic-Drai-Slepy
Marleau-Thornton-Cagguila

3rd line would be expensive but they will feasting on teams bottom 6

 

[McSuper]

Making room for a UFA C signing and to move RNH for a cheaper LW option .

 

[Paralyzer]

Meltdown in 5...4...3...2...1...

 

[Del Preston]

Yeah I believe so. This makes sense if an FA is coming here imo.

Nuge is the only one remaining from the "$16M, 0 goals" line from the playoffs.

 

[edmoil3]

What's our cap space after strome and poo moves?


I wouldn't mind a cheaper version of Nuge

 

[Arpeggio]

Meltdown in 5...4...3...2...1...

So dumb.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Meltdown in 5...4...3...2...1...

 

[Giggli G]

Shea Theodore and Eric Haula for Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Mark Fayne

Sign Marleau and Thornton, maybe Stone

Win Cup

Are you kidding? Marleau would arguably be our 3rd best forward

 

[Raab]

Well the Pouliot buy out is out of left field. I dont think Mcdavids and Draisaitls deals will be as bad as expected with this news. If they were I cant see Chia taking the cap penalty for Pouliot. Hed be dealing him away with a pick and retention.

In saying that there should be more coming with this move.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

Shea Theodore and Eric Haula for Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Mark Fayne

Wish it was that easy
