Proposal: Trade Rumours and Proposals Thread: Las Vegas Exp Part 2: Mo Defence, Mo Problems...

[OilerFan4Life]

Bob talking about how cap space has currency. Brace yourselves, Strome is coming .

@#$% seriously.

 

[Cloned]

I think there's a legit chance we see Eberle for Neal.

 

[Raab]

@#$% seriously.

Strome+Beavillier hopefully...

 

[Jejune]

They aren't which is why I think McPhee may have Forsberged some of these deals.

I think McPhee was unwilling to call some team's bluffs (specifically ANA and MIN). They likely said if McPhee doesn't accept this deal, they're trading the assets and vegas will end up with worse assets. McPhee could have called it, maybe would have gotten better assets, but he was looking for the guarantee (as well as the pledge apparently).

Made things simpler in what was likely a hectic few days.

It's gonna be real bad news for Vegas if those picks and prospects they get in return for not selecting certain players end up busting.

yikes! pretty much ALL of those trades are terrible for vegas... no idea why they would do any of them to be honest, literally not one of those trades is even remotely good, lol.... fine by me though, i'm happy to have a hapless opponent in our division

 

[KenLinsemanFanClub]

Except if he would consider that more a negative than positive considering the fishbowl it could be. he might consider Calgary a 'best of both worlds' situation where he could play close to home, but have at least a little bit of separation.

He wouldn't be the first Edmontonian who didn't want to play for the Oilers. I guess within the next 5 days or so we'll finally have an end to this little tempest in a teapot drama.

Projecting forward, playing in Seattle isn't that far away either.

 

[soothsayer]

I think there's a legit chance we see Eberle for Neal.

This would amazing. I don't how this trade would be seen from a neutral perspective, but my biased sense tells me that this would be a win for Edmonton.

 

[Raab]

what about defense?
Give Russell 4Mx4yrs?

Then comes the next year where ALL of McDavid, Nurse, Benning, Brossoit, Slepychev, Caggiula, Maroon and Letestu require new deals and we still have the miscast Eberle making 6M on our team.

It is safe to say McLellan is done with him. Playing Slepy and Caggiula ahead of him 5on5 and Letestu on the PP.

Both RNH and Eberle need to be traded for players making less then 4M in the next 3 years. Theres no rush to do it right now though, and you could probably make Eb's work if he's willing to resign for 3.5-4M once his current deal is up.

Edmonton would probably have to throw in a pick or prospect, but Neal didn't exactly have a standout year either.

 

[McJadeddog]

How is Stoner and Theodore worth either Manson or Vatanen. VGK should take Vatanen and flip him for more turn than Theodore.

yeah, this is crazy talk if its what vegas actually does.... manson would return a LOT more than that on the open market... again, couldn't be happier if they do this, but it really doesn't make any sense

What if McLellan isnt willing to play him in the top 6.. heck even top 9.
The guy's time in EDM is over IMO... he just doesnt fit despite his "50 pts".

Stauffer downplaying July 1 from an Oilers POV.

yes or you keep him for 2 years and you know if Pujlu/Caguilla/slepy/benson/pitlick can handle the work load and if they cant you adjust your cap to fit a UFA that will.

That's a good thing

 

[Cam98]

Manson is a 25 year old late bloomer. He's good but come on. There is literally no chance he will be better than Lindholm.

Theodore is 21. His WHL and AHL numbers indicate he should be a 55-60 point producer in the NHL. Legit stud.

That rarely ever translates. Theodore isn't as good as speculated.

 

[jlockhart89]

yeah its way worse than eberle for strome

My bad, at first I read it as Methot and Chris Neil before realizing Vegas is taking Methot. I could get behind Methot and James Neal.

BTW I'm not in favour of Strome either, if that's what you were insinuating.

well thats going to happen........


seeing as only Mcdavid, lucic, Nuge and DRai averaged more time on ice than eberle.

but hey now eberle is yakupov

Makes sense. Oilers don't have to make a big splash. They just have to shade in some areas.

apparently the deals were made well before the teams list their exposed players.
ANA would not have left Manson exposed if there was no deal in place.

I hope Vegas GM gets boo'd when they announce that they pick Clayton friggin Stoner from ANA and Eric friggin Haula from MIN.

 

[Oilyveins97*]

My gut is telling me Chia is going to pull off a trade/sign which none of us saw coming

 

[McDrai]

Stauffer downplaying July 1 from an Oilers POV.

I don't really mind that, no use vastly overpaying for secondary scoring and bottom 3 dmen. In terms of free agency, I only see us signing Russell, Foo (if he decides to play here), and possibly a backup goalie for Talbot that can play 20+ games.

 

[CornKicker]

not you just the general jist of this thread that Strome + cap space > >>>>> actual nhl player eberle

 

[Cloned]

I think you could go two ways with Vegas and Eberle here:

1 - Eberle + Pouliot + 22nd for Methot + Smith + 2nd round pick

2 - Eberle, Bear, 3rd round pick for Methot + Neal

The thing is, Anaheim was going to lose a good player one way or another. VGK allowed them to keep their good players and maximize their trade value with this deal.

That is when McLellan didnt have enough him and hoped he would start going on the top 2 lines. He averaged around 12mins in the last few games vs ANA after Mclellan had enough of him and preferred Slepychev and Caggiula over him.
