Rumor: Trade deadline/rumour/proposal thread Vol 12:clowe to nyr

[CorpseFX]

Noticed Kyperios mention Torres a possible fit here again. Really didn't even think about him, but I would love it.

im over that dudes blind fancy passes out of the zone into turnovers, shady hits and immense dry spells.

chase a guy who actually does something on the ice consistently.

A name that's out there today: Jason Chimera. Could move.

Upgrade on the top-9

 

[Vagabond]

Well, Looks like good old Richard Cloutier has been reading HF again!

McBain a Fit for Edmonton
Word out of Carolina that Jamie McBain and Kirk Muller don't see eye-to-eye, and the player wants a trade. The Oilers are perhaps the only team able to move two defenseman for one. With yesterday's injury to Pitkanen, the Oilers perhaps could offer Ryan Whitney + Corey Potter for McBain, who could fit into the Oilers long-term future.

Potter and Whitney for McBain? Yes please

 

[Paralyzer008]

Oh dear...Whitney is "too valuable" to move per Mark Spector.

Take a drink!

 

[Vagabond]

Potter and Whitney for McBain? Yes please

Oh hell yes.

Edit: He is having a bad season while Whitney seems to be back on track tho..

 

[McDoused]

So Carolina wants a pending UFA and a depth guy because???

Being close to the playoffs and losing a puck moving LH defenseman.

Not saying it's a guarantee or anything, interest in Whitney from the Canes wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Auguste McEscoffier]

I don't even know Richard Cloutier, but damn do I hate him.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

To be fair, unless we can upgrade Whitney, I think he stays an Oiler today.

He's not exactly wrong. Moving Whitney for picks/prospects probably takes us out of the playoff race.

With pitkanen seriously hurt will Jim Rutherford call OIL GM on Ryan Whitney? Of course he would

Maybe there's a hockey trade here. Whitney, Khabby and Belanger for McBain and Jokinen.

 

[Mr Sakich]

if we do a hockey trade today, my overwhelming choice would be Kulikov.

 

[Wadewilson]

Ugh, some of you people are missing the point of this whole "upsetting the room"

We are one point out of a playoff spot it's a longshot, but the players look at it as something they need to rise up and can get done. That is every single player in that dressing rooms goal. Hall, eberle, Hopkins, hell even Smid, this is the first time they have REALLY been in a playoff race in the big show. As young leaders on this team that's got to be huge for them!!

That being said, what happens tomorrow will tell them what management thinks about them. Trade Whitney for a 2nd round pick, and you're saying I have no faith in you guys. Trading for only futures is not the right message to send to the kids. It's not about the chemistry in the room. It's about believing in our core players. Trade Whitney, Jones, and Bulin, I could care less. But bring back players you can sell as an upgrade for the stretch. Grab a Torres, and a Mcbain. But do it for getting stronger for the stretch. Upgrade the team, not the draft.

I'd rather have Whitney walk for nothing July 5 then have him go for a 2nd tomorrow. Management needs to show we have faith. Even just keeping everyone says we think you can do it.

Haha looks like Tencers reading the board... Tweeted this an hour ago

You mean the guy that has been press boxed for a large chunk of the season and could easily go back into the press box after a down game or two?

A rare four game winning streak does cure all I guess.

 

[Oilers4life1987]

Is no one interested in Omark?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Is no one interested in Omark?

good one

 

[Paralyzer]

Mods, can this thread be closed or close the new one that's open? I'm sick and tired of switching to both threads trying to read info on any deals possibly being processed

 

[CornKicker]
