Proposal: Trade Rumors/Proposals Thread 2013-2014 | Part I

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I wonder how New Jersey fans feel after they gave Kovalchuk a bus load of money plus it cost the team two first round picks & a fine & he still left for the KHL? I wonder how Nashville fans feel after they drafted Radulov & he returned to Russian a couple of yrs afterwards. Then there is Filatov & all the other Russian players the Sens have drafted that have never come over to NA. How quickly we forget.

No kidding.

I hate to sound bias against these Russian kids, because they have amazing skills and are really fun to watch, but gutting the team for a single player who might just take his ball and go home for any reason? That could ruin the team for a decade. We also have to remember, the KHL is becoming more aggressive in trying to brings their sons home. We can not compete financially with them.

Plus, with Yak specifically, he has that hotdog reputation. Guys hate him, and officials don't give him an easy ride. Do we really need another guy ruffling the zebras when we can't buy a single %*%&$*& powerplay as it is?

If we do make a trade for a forward (and no, not giving up either goalie), it has to be for a good 2-way guy. If we make a trade for a D, it has to be someone who can fit into the 3-4 slot for the foreseeable future.

 

[God Says No]

Neither Yakupov nor Fleishmann is the answer for this team. I would love to get a top 4 defensive D though that can chip in offensively. Don't know who that might be.

Not defensive D but I would've loved Leddy from CHI. Too bad thhey probably wont give him away for what he's actually worth

Cowen, Wiercioch or Ceci or are you looking for an experienced top 4 defenceman who has previously had 30 to 40 pt seasons? Are there any available ... anywhere?

 

[Xspyrit]

Any way we can pry Tallinder out of Buffalo?

Might be the kind of guy to stabilize our defense. He's UFA at the of this season and makes a reasonable 3.375 this year

Da Costa + Hoffman?

Could also be Gryba instead of Hoffman, if they don't have a lot of Defensive depth. It gives them 2 more guys who could maybe generate offense. At this point, they have to try things

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

At this point, who cares about points from a defenseman when we have Karlsson? If we do get a 3-4D, get a pure defense-first guy.

2013 Karlsson isn't playing like himself of the past couple years...usually has a slow start...wish he can gain his confidence back fast

Definitively not any of the 3 you mentioned. They are all lacking defensive play. I'm including Cowen in that, he's not there yet. I would love to get a shot blocking machine like Volchenkov used to be for us that can play 20+ min a game. And yeah, preferably an experienced one.

That's the thing, don't think there is one out there. At least I can't think of one.

Our defense is not balanced.

I really think its just EK playing out west, vs. bigger teams. He was a monster vs Buffalo, he will be fine. Im very optimistic.

 

[Qward]

I hope murray makes another 3 for 1 deal and lands another good player. I would love a power forward.

Hartnell, Simmonds, Lucic, Kane, etc

Someone that can play on the top line.

******/Spezza/Ryan
MacArthur/Turris/Michalek

NHL - Flyers source reporting that Couturier, Coburn, Laughton, Meszaros and Simmonds are names that are currently being shopped.

Murray has got to get on that, Simmonds would be a perfect fit on the Sens.

 

[BonkTastic]

I want nothing to do with Yakupov, considering what the Oilers would want for him.


This quote from Yak pretty much seals the deal in my eyes:

“I’m going to play my game … I’m not going to change but maybe play better without the puck, or forecheck more, but I love playing with the puck. I really don’t like skating all the time, and forechecking, and hitting somebody every shift. I don’t think it’s my game.”


... "I really don't like skating all the time"... does that sound like a guy we want on our team?

Yak sounds like an unnecessary headache waiting to happen.

Who da **** is Rich Smith.

Well this rumored trade basically solidifies your point

Rich Smith ‏@ALLsportsINTEL 8h
Oilers reportedly would want Simmonds, Coburn and either Couturier or Laughton for Nail Yakupov and Hemsky.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Simmonds would be perfect to round out our top 6.

He is a more skilled and smarter Colin Greening.

They'd ask for Cowen/Wiercioch in return.

Well, that definitely sounds like a "Holmgren" trade, if nothing else.

 

[TheOriginalSilf*]

If we somehow landed Wayne Simmonds, I'd probably faint.

 

[saskriders]

Not if Andy is going the other way

 

[OttawaSenators11]

We wouldn't have the balls to trade Andy so soon, IMO.

Need to see more of Lehner first.

 

[YNWA14]

Supposedly Philly is balking because they don't want to give up Simmonds.

Anyway...the Oilers are ripe right now and it wouldn't be a bad move to make a play.

Zibanejad and Anderson for Hall and Dubnyk or Eberle, Smid and Dubnyk.

First trade, Oilers won't trade Hall.

2nd: I am not trading those two for that return.

 

[Icelevel]

absolutely no way murray goes after yakupov. and thank goodness he's smart like that.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Yakupov is literally everything this team mentality is against, but I would be ecstatic if we got Simmonds. I'm against moving Andy just for the ***** and giggles, but if we actually net a solid return I see no reason that Lehner would fold when he's been putting out great numbers consistently when he gets put in. Although with our history, I'm hesitant to move any goalie tbh

 

[Lonnie Loach]

Never underestimate the irrationality of a desperate general manager trying to save his job. I'd approach Holmgren about a trade centering around Gryba-Simmonds.

 

[guyzeur]

If Anderson was locked up for another 5 years maybe, but given that he's a ufa the season after next and the Oilers aren't known for keeping big name players I think they'd want more, a lot more.

Edmonton = Ottawa on the UFA market?

So on our side we trade Silverberg, Noesen and a 1st for Ryan who's contract will expire at the same time as Anderson but Edmonton would ask for more?

Why is that?
