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

[Jet Walters]

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

I like those players, but realistically that’s probably 5m in cap at minimum. There’s not enough left for Bouchard and Ryan McLeod. Foegele or Ceci would have to go. Hell, if Gudas would sign for 1.5 or so I’d deal both Ceci and Foegele.

Kane McDavid Rodrigues
Holloway Drai Brown
Rnh R.McLeod Hyman
Janmark M.McLeod Ryan/Lavoie

Ekholm Bouchard
Nurse Gudas
Kulak Broberg/Desharnais

 

[Broberg Speed]

dump Ceci and sign Gudas

 

[Ginger Papa]

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

I’ve mentioned it before, but it deserves repeating, imho - when I read a Post like this…

One of my late Father’s favourite sayings was, “A person who can admit they’re wrong, when they’re wrong- is alright!”

 

[Tarus]

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.

That's a little unfair to Lemieux.

He brings exceptional biting ability to the bottom six, which would help team toughness significantly. He really has learned from the best when it comes to that attribute, and has achieved the unique accomplishment of being part of the only father/son duo in NHL history to be suspended for biting an opposing player.

Just have to have the medical team stock up on the tetanus shots and let him rip.

Let a raccoon bite him and let the rabies go wild!

I think the Ducks would want Ceci. Looks like their only right shot D that’s likely to be on the roster right now is the young kid Drysdale. They have three extra picks in rounds 2-3 next year too.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

McLeod or Rodrigues please. McLeod may be a better fit for the 4th line.

Thank you! Sorry about that

Sounds good. Gudas strikes me as a player who really wants to win right now and would play for less in Edmonton. Always liked the player.

 

[Oilhawks]

McLeod or Rodrigues please. McLeod may be a better fit for the 4th line.

McLeod would be my choice. They need a RHC that won't be doing just spot duty face-offs like Ryan. I could see him getting more than Edmonton can afford, though

 

[Jet Walters]

McLeod or Rodrigues please. McLeod may be a better fit for the 4th line.

He’s a top 10 faceoff guy in the entire league, right handed, and great on the pk. There couldn’t be a better fit for what the Oilers need, and we have his brother here. Ryan better have been on the phone with him today.

McLeod seems like a no brainer..
An upgrade over Bjugstad

 

[ehhteen]

Brendan Lemieux, Connor Brown, Evan Rodrigues, Michael McLeod, Tyler Motte, Garnet Hathaway. Just some names I’d love to have as depth pieces.

Rodrigues specifically would be another defensive conscience winger that can play with skill.

Only issue is the WJC stuff. I wonder if that’s why NJD didn’t qualify him. Steel and Comtois werent qualified either

We got some incentives for him in Edmonton.. Richard McLeod wouldn't have to pick one team over another if both his kids were in Edmonton

 

[SDig14]

This hockey canada investigation could definitely impact McLeod. I'd rather pass and focus on Rodrigues or Blueger. That being said, according to the NHL the investigation has been "substantially complete" for like 8 months, so they might be waiting until the dog days of August to hide it or we won't hear anything for like 4 years because NHL.

 

[Morpheus]

Michael McLeod has a career 56.7 % face off average, and is right handed.

I will say, if Holland didn’t care about Virtanen and Kane he probably doesn’t care about McLeod (unless they’re still investigating and a punishment is on the way)

 

[CROTT]

/ Both McLeod brothers (I don’t like quoting pictures)

I can see the Gene “It’s getting cloudy” puns coming if it happens.

Whos available, outside of Reeves that can be a heavy hand for the oilers? Kostin was valuable in that regard and i feel like this team could use a guy like that over the likes of Rodrigues or Bluger. Mcleod isnt the guy either but i but a great fit for us if we miss on Bjugstad

Watson, Comtrois, Ritchie, Hathaway, MacEwen, Sanford, maceachern, etc.

I’ve heard rumours that the league has made it known to the teams the players involved and to kind of, push them out.
Guys who should be qualified not, etc.

Watson, Comtrois, Ritchie, Hathaway, MacEwen, Sanford, maceachern, etc.

MacEwan would be a nice grab, I like Comtois alot to had to look up if he was a scrapper and looks like hes been in a few tilts.

I could live with a 4th line of Janmark - Comtois - MacEwan

Probably need a better center, geekie would fit the bill, not a scrapper, but a big guys who wins his match ups it seems

Agree Geekie i like but with most of our line up set our 4th line pickups need to have some scapability.

That said if we miss on Brown then guys like Sprong, ect may be a possibility

Holloway - Cloud - Foegele
Janmark - XXX - Ryan ( can move throughout)
