Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread | 2010! What Was It Good For? Absolutely Nothing.

[Oilers in NS]

Im not sure what to think now. Do we blow our load on offence and hope the best on young fellas in defence?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

5 years we will regret. Every non star Ufa who is signed to longer than 4 ends up bought out, waste of space or traded with picks to dump.

Again, like has been said, I don't care about the 5th year, I care about the team having all the space they can to win in the first 3.

Apparently we have enough museums that they did a list of top 10. Go figure

THE 10 BEST Museums in Edmonton - Tripadvisor

Been to all of them. I just jest. Some pretty loose definitions of museum for that list tho lol.

 

[Marty McSurly]

The better question is, what realtor has met with Zach Hyman today?

Since Gregor is not a reliable source.

 

[Seachd]

I know I have been ranting. BUt the oilers now have a giant hole on their D

Yes, that’s what happens when a free agent leaves.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Yes. My thoughts on Hyman are laid out in the Hyman thread as nauseum. Agree or disagree, it’s fine. I don’t wanna to get into my evaluation of signing him here. But we can discuss in the Hyman thread if you’d like. Not a fan of his.

I’m a fan of the player. I just hope the contract isn’t too bad. Yeah sure sounds good man ahaha

Gregor dropping a nuke on the TL

lol agreed XD

 

[780il]

Oh god Hyman is gonna happen isn’t it

 

[Faelko]

I know I have been ranting. BUt the oilers now have a giant hole on their D

Yeah, everyone knows actually. Going to have to wait until FA to start to fill it.

 

[McVirginOil]

Well I have to think this leads to major shakeup on the backend.

Barrie in.

I think you have to get one of Hamonic, Gudbranson or Savard. Hamonic likely makes the most sense based on his wanting to be in the area.

What does that mean for Bear?

I'm also 100 percent expecting Hyman. I would prefer to roll the dice on Schwartz

We trade him for pennies and he becomes a #1 dman

 

[McDoused]

I like Hyman.

I actually could care less about term as long as it brings down his AAV.

4.5M at 7 or 8 years?

 

[Seachd]

Innuendos aside, I’d rather go higher than longer on Hyman. Might be difficult because of the interest.

 

[Faelko]

Oh god Hyman is gonna happen isn’t it

It’s been telegraphed for what seems like forever haha

Sign a couple of cheap vets and roll with the kids.

Nurse-Bear
Keith-Hamonic
Edler-Bouchard
Samourkov

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I guess here's the thing... if we are signing a UFA forward with term, who will be great in our top 6 for a few years, but then might trail off...

What would you pay for a 3 year rental on a good top 6 forward. Maybe the realization is you pay that cost after the 3 or 4 years to dump him.

Think of it as buying an extended rental

How Much Do NHL Players Really Make? Part 2: Taxes

If anyone is interested in the calculation of taxes, it's pretty damn complicated

It’s also not accurate. It’s not taking into account the many tax reductions available in Canada for contractors. Allen Walsh was on on a podcast a short while ago basically saying the tax difference is minimal.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Yeah, everyone knows actually. Going to have to wait until FA to start to fill it.

and how much will that cost

 

[Oilers in NS]

How likely are we going to trade our 1st rounder?

Any chance we can package the pick and kassian to rangers for Bouchnevich?

I mentioned before that I think Kassian will be dealt tomorrow. I mentioned Pittsburgh and Rangers because of Wilson beating the shit outta them

"What did you want me to do DNB, not pay him 7 million for 7 years?"

 

[Faelko]

and how much will that cost

Million dollar question…but what’s done can’t be undone so let’s see what happens next.

 

[Pucklington]

Larsson has made something like $27 million so far. I think he'll be ok paying a bit more to live in a nicer city.

Just because you make a ton of money doesn't mean you don't look at cost of living.

In his case we are talking millions.

We should have started the prep work 4 off-seasons ago if Holland wanted to sign Hyman this off-season.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You could care less about term. So you want to spend a 1st+ to move him or Guarentee a buyout?

Nightmare fuel right here
