Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Trade Deadline Festivities

[Mr Positive]

As they should, he's definitely a serviceable bottom 6 forward who can be elevated if necessary and can contribute on the PP. Even if he isn't producing, he isn't a detriment. He's also cheap which is what we need.

there is another downside though. Players are more willing to sign with you if you do nice things for them like trade them to a contender for a playoff run. Chiasson won't get much chance to really shine if he doesn't make it.

Although, I do believe he's said he wants to stay, and who knows? Maybe we do go on a run and he's a part of it. Personally I think we should go for it, if for nothing else than for pride, which for this team is probably more important than a few spaces on the draft board.

If anyone is super hungry for a sketchy rumor already-


I have zero familiarity with this guy, but perused his twitter, doesn't look like a rumor monger by trade, but by that same token doesn't appear to have inside sources, oh and it looks like Eklund conveniently jumped on the bandwagon 12 mins later.

The return in his article is underwhelming says TOR trades Hainsey to CGY for Andrew Neilsen, then TOR trades Nielsen, Brown, and a 2nd for Nurse.

NO thanks

 

[Mr Positive]

NO thanks

as always, it depends on the return

the exception being McDavid of course. No trade possible is worth it for that.

Andrew Neilson, brown and a 2nd. Again no thanks.

Guys, Andrew Nielsen is a Flame, not a Leaf, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Edit: Never mind, I saw the rest of it. And, with that in mind, I'd still put less than 0% stock into it.

I’m thinking Chiasson, Kassian and Benning are moved today.

 

[McDoused]

I’m thinking Chiasson, Kassian and Benning are moved today.

I'm thinking petrovic and gravel are also moved as they are ufas.

 

[CupofOil]

I’m thinking Chiasson, Kassian and Benning are moved today.

I'd be really surprised if any of them are moved. I don't see much of a market for Kassian and Benning because of the extra year and it appears to be a buyers' market this year so I don't think they'd be interested in dealing Chiasson for a 4th or 5th which seems to be his worth based on the market thus far.
I can see Petrovic or Gravel going for a 6th or 7th. That's about it.

This is the OBC today:

Get in there and sell!!

You are assuming we can resign Chiasson for cheap. If this isn’t the case then he should be moved for whatever we can get.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Keith looks like Al Bundy.

 

[Thomas Tatar]

I agree but if you can get rid of Lucic without retention for the cost of JP, that would be pretty hard to pass up.

Alas, this is where we have come as a franchise. I remember the argument that it wasn't Larsson straight up for Hall, it was Larsson PLUS Lucic for Taylor Hall.

And now we are at Lucic + Larsson for Hall + 4th overall pick

What a world we live in. There are no hockey gods, if there are they are EVIL.

I’m thinking the PTO guy who’s scoring has dried up isn’t going to cost an arm and a leg to retain.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

What time is the deadline?

 

[destro909]

I’m thinking the PTO guy who’s scoring has dried up isn’t going to cost an arm and a leg to retain.

He’s a UFA - even if he’s willing to resign for cheap there is no guarantee it would be with the Oilers. I’m sure there are other teams that would be interested in him at a low cost. Unless the Oilers have a signed contact extension he should be traded.

It’s already been reported he wants to re-sign with the Oilers.

That being said, I’d rather get an asset for him and re-sign him in the off season if the Oilers want him back that much.

Remember when Tambo got Smithson at the trade deadline and thought oilers we're gonna make playoffs lol

What was best was watching them in their war room. Everyone was on board with that move. They all were so excited. Except for Stu as he had one last bullet. It just showed how they were all working as a team and it wasn't just Tambo pulling strings

[OilerFan4Life]

Had an awesome dream..

We got Ho Sang straight up for Benning.

To be fair, we should have made the playoffs that year.

Inexcusable collapse which ultimately led to MacT skype-firing Krueger...

 

[joestevens29]

Limited recalls really means nothing. You are allowed 4 players I believe plus every year we see how many Emergency callups start to happen.

 

[McGreat One]

Just curious, is Speedyturtle officially retired or shall he grace us with his presence today??

And hiring Eakins...
