Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXXIII: Spend Like Drunken Sailors Day

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I don't know why Tim Thomas isn't getting more interest. Yes he's crazy but if he can still play you have a 2 time Vezina winner in net. Give him a 1 year deal at something like 4 million.

Get er done Mac T.

That money is better spent on depth at forward and defense.

 

[OILSLICK94]

what a joke this "leader" is. Good to see the real Iginla coming out....so tired of "classy" this "classy" that with this guy over the years.

Couldn't of said it better.....

Look at Carlyle's coaching history and remind me of a time where his top 2 lines play hard minutes.

I'll wait for your reply

Toronto still has 10M in cap space, more then enough to bring in some help on the wings. I see them dealing one of Gunnarsson or Franson though. Can't see them being able to afford both. Wonder if Toronto would take a Petry for Franson deal straight up?

 

[doubledown99]

Marcus Foligno is not a top-6 forward.

His potential his huge. He is the ideal winger for Nuge and Ebs. Brings size, toughness, grit and scoring ability.

He would be the forechecker for that line, digging pucks out of corners and being menace in front of net. He is Lucic-lite.

Your comment is probably based on lack of knowledge and viewings.

Yeah, I don't think we're talking about the same player. He's a bigger, less talented version of his brother Nick.

Franson will be dealt for sure. We discussed this yesterday.

Kulemin? Would be stupid on their part.

Then again, choosing Bolland or Bozak instead of Grabo was stupid too.

That's fair. I just think you can have a defence by committee kinda thing going on with several 2nd pairing guys and an elite goalie.

Plus I really like Timmy

 

[Raab]

compensation is based on total money divided by 5 or deal length in years, whatever shorter. your proposal would be compensated at 11.8m, that'd be 4 1sts.

Well that sucks, I guess we could try 8.4M each year for 7 years but I think St. Louis matches. I think we'd have a better shot at going after Rask at 7M per for 7 years. Boston may have a hard time matching that with there current cap situation.

Should have word on the Oilers AHL goalie soon

Bozak > Grabo IMO, and thats before you factor in the price. Bozak was a 21 min a night guy for them last year, better on faceoffs, better defensively, more physical. The only thing Grabo has on Bozak is that he may score a few more points a year.

Thomas hasn't played in a full year. Goalie market was musical chairs this year.

Both Bryz and Thomas are left standing barring other things going down (Luongo retiring as one example).

Goalie market is so overflooded that Buffalo can't move Miller...Anaheim can't move Hiller...St Louis can't move Halak.

You just answered your own question. He is insane. I'm not sure that I'd want him around the youngsters. Plus, I seriously doubt he'd come to Canada, even Alberta.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Bachman signed

I don't love Grabo or anything but the guy played very tough minutes this year. He's gonna be a gem of a free agent signing whoever picks him up

Nice! There's a solid AHL starter/NHL callup. Good replacement for Danis.

Then that makes it the perfect time to buy low on a goaltender.

 

[Usual_Suspect]

Why? No longer then 7 years, and the salary never drops by more the 50%.

The lowest year has to be at least 50% of the highest year. It's not the drop from year to year anymore. It's the drop from highest year to lowest year.

Yeah you aren't talking about the same player. Marcus is better than Nick. Marcus development his final year in junior and play since is evidence.

Yes, when he was bigger and stronger then his competition, that seems to happen often.

Marcus Foligno is pretty overrated on these boards, I don't see a top-6 forward there, top-9 maybe, but not top-6.

Tuukka Rask and Patrice Bergeron extensions with #bruins are "very close," per Peter Chiarelli.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

No.

If the prices were low, we'd have seen some of these guys dealt.

This is not your typical supply demand theorem. Supply is high....demand is low...prices are high

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

That's so overblown. I don't care if he's insane, he's a cup winning goaltender who won a Vezina 2 seasons ago. On a 1 year deal there's virtually no risk. If he succeeds, you have a top 5 goalie. If not, you cut your losses and move on. He makes this team a better hockey club.

Chris Kelly has to be in play. Elite penalty killers don't grown on trees. I hope MacT is over this.

Bruins aren't letting Khudobin go if they aren't close with Rask. he will not get offersheeted.

Edit: and now Chairelli confirms it himself.
