Rumor: Rumours & Proposals | McKenzie: "EDM and Tyson Barrie are getting closer to a multi-year contract"

[Mr Sakich]

@TheNumber4

there is a guy I have a lot of time for. If we could sign him and tartar cheap, our top 9 is set

 

[Oilers in NS]

@TheNumber4

I would look at him for 3rd line duties

Exactly. Flames have literally done NOTHING this offseason other than get Pitlick. There was rumors of Tkachuk getting traded, Gaudreau traded, buying out someone, but nothing. It's almost like they gave up this season to try to ride out one more then do something. We could be them. But thankfully, we aren't. At all.

They are gonna swing for the fences on Eichel, fail miserably, then proceed to tell everyone how much they tried.
Trade requests soon to follow.

 

[MoontoScott]

Getzlaf instead of Bonino? Suter instead of Tatar? Just some options I see.

As well I wonder one of those spots is filled by a Bear trade.

I like the idea of bringing Barrie back but he's a smaller guy (as is Bear) so you end up with a relatively undersized D-corps again and to me that was one of the major problems the team had on defense last year. I suppose they could still add some size in the #5-#6 spots.

If the Kosko/Smith duo returns then except for adding a 38 year old D-man the defensive backfield (pun intended) is essentially unchanged from last season except that your shut-down corner is gone.

PURE SPECULATION:

Media guys playing down a Kuemper trade. Arizona wants a first, EDM only willing to do a second. Kenny bluffing as he is firm on his offer. Saying he is willing to run Smith Koskinen next year if he has to. That's the best offer they'll get.

We don't have a second to trade. It's tied up in the Keith deal condition.

Omg so the garbage at backup stays? Yeah we’re all in with first shot first goal koskisuck

Man is our D really going to be:

Nurse-Barrie
Keith-Ceci
Russell-Bouchard
Koekkoek/Lagesson?

Something like that?

That seems definitely worse than what we iced game 4 vs WPG.

I thought you learned not to jump to conclusions from yesterday

Wait the offseason is over? How do you know this will be the D on opening day?

 

[Marty McSurly]

Very curious how the last few years bonus is structured. Hopefully they learned from the Lucic deal and its only salary for the last 3 years (but why would Hyman want that lol)

We aren't trading Bear unless we get a shutdown D back. It has been reported in every tweet on the subject.

@TheNumber4

A good GM could force him to sign here.

get to it holland

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

 

[Sanchez]

Edit: McYams beat me to it

 

[MoontoScott]

We don't have a second to trade. It's tied up in the Keith deal condition.

The pick would be in 2049 and conditional on if we win the cup.

Atleast with this over reaction we know he’ll be traded today.

didn’t learn from the Neal buyout?

 

[McJesusSaves97]

A bit pricy & 2 long, but we desperately him imo

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

A bit pricy & 2 long, but we desperately him imo

We don't have much other choice do we? He makes us better now and for the next few years.

 

[Defsta]

A bit pricy & 2 long, but we desperately him imo

I don't mind, makes top-6 instantly better.

[Oilhawks]

Give him 6X6 Flames!

Imagine that. How come no one talks about Coleman breaking down either? Guy is 29, plays a hard game and stats don’t scream too 6. I hope they overpay to get him to come to Canada
