Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread | Free Agent Frenzy, Will Oilers Fans Have Any Good Oilers News on Canada Day?

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Yeah, I feel like Bjugstad lost a lot of his negotiating power today.

Absolutely, I was looking pretty, until a ton of kids just dropped on the market. I don't love the player, but he had a decent year.

It's realistic.

 

[Magnum23]

Not going to be a popular opinion but I definitely want in on Lemieux for the 4th line. Compete and motor every game. Consider this an upgrade on Kostin.

I like his game but not sure how well he will be accepted in the room . Could really mess up the chemistry

 

[backhandsauce]

I have time for Brendan Lemieux

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Rodrigues, if he came cheap enough, would be a nice fit as well.

I have time for Brendan Lemieux

I don't he's bad at hockey.

 

[McTonyBrar]

@McYams17 you talk to people like such a dink sometimes lol. Sprong being a better player than Connor Brown is not an outrageous take. Sprong just had a better season than Brown has ever had and also didn't just have a major knee injury that took him our for an entire season.

I agree I do and I’m sorry. I had no idea he had that good of a year so I was wrong on that lol my bad

 

[FlameChampion]

Brown and Rodrigues. Please

Did rodrigues play center or wing last year?

He played the Wing in Colorado, but can play both.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Rodrigues would be a great add

 

[AddyTheWrath]

I wonder if you could convince Ryan to sign for a bit cheaper if we nab his brother .

And if any of the allegations come out we could just waive him. Although I’m not sure if it’s worth the risk. But the brotherly duo would be pretty cool and I’m sure Michael McLeod would be interested in signing with Edmonton.

Brendan Lemieux is better than the overpriced baby soft crap you endorse 90% of the time.

You somehow got hold of the list of the players I don't like in the NHL. It's uncanny.

 

[Cloned]

Rodrigues and Ryan would actually make a great third line.

Actually put Janmark on that line too and you might have something.

Yeah, but all the fear punching won't make them good at hockey, they need to be good at hockey. Not cardio and hits.

It's not hard, the Kassians and Archibalds make your team worse, always.

 

[Oilception]

My hopes, that I think are semi realistic are

Brown
McLeod
Rodrigues


Kane McDavid Brown
Nuge Drai Hyman
Holloway McLeod Rodrigues
Foegele McLeod Janmark
Ryan

Who the f*** is Rodrigues. Someone hype him up for me pls.

Ahh yes. Brendan Lemieux, a guy whose career high in games played is 59 and points is 18 is somehow good at hockey. He is a shit face puncher that’s only good at face punching. Rodrigues has more points in the last year and a half than Lemieux has had in his entire career…and he can defend.
Lemieux sits in the press box more than he plays. Dudes shit.he is a hockey player in name only. I’d take a washed up Reaves over him any day and I have no time for him either.
Give me guys who can play hockey and be tough. Not just shitheels who have less skill than Shore.

Evan Rodrigues, the Oilers were interested in him last off season, signed a one year deal at about $3M with Colorado after a 43 pts season with the Pens. Fast RH Center/Winger, who's got a solid 200 ft game.

Statistics of Evan Rodrigues, a hockey player from Toronto, ONT born Jul 28 1993 who was active from 2009 to 2024.

A defensively good middle 6 forward that doesn’t look out of place when he plays with skilled players.

This has to be the quietest the league has been before free agency. Usually by now we know where half the league is going. But not even a whisper about the big guns.

Lemieux's a 4th line role player who is effective.

I guess its because there's not really any big guns this year. Bertuzzi and Orlov are the biggest names and there hasn't been enough time for Duchene to be linked anywhere since he was only under contract 2 days ago

Random thoughts before free agency...

• Invite Mazden Leslie & bring Hudson Thornton back to development camp, sign them both.
  
  
• I'm interested in Morgan Geekie. 28 points, grades well in points/60 at even strength. Imagine Seattle walked away cause they were worried about arbitration and I'm under the impression Geekie is hard to get pen to paper. Friedman says he aint gonna have any problems finding work.
  
  
• C'mon bargain Connor Brown contract.
  
  
• Bring back Kostin, maybe Yamo, for cheap contracts and complete the wizardry, Ken.
  
  
• Considering the Condors... I know they have Rodrigue and Pickard but sign another goalie that gets squeezed out, maybe a Nefdelkovic or Blackwood. The backend needs bodies, howabout Ryan Merkley and maybe Max Gildon, dunno he looked like less of a fit down the stretch.
  
  
• We don't have lots of capspace and we should go into the season to start accruing a deadline cap cache.

If he was so effective why is he in the press box for half the season? You wanna know why? Cause he isn’t. He is an average 13th forward.
Fans for teams he has played for are happy when he is gone.

Did rodrigues play center or wing last year?

His most common line last year was with Mackinnon and Rantanen on right wing, his second most common was with Mackinnon and Lehkonen on left wing.
