Will Timothy Jimothy Oshie be drafted by the Kraken?

[summer tooth]

Man, I cannot believe his middle name is Jimothy and no I will not read this thread or be disabused regarding this matter.

Not his middle name no, but the second part of his first name

 

[SoupNazi]

Not his middle name no, but the second part of his first name

Again, no, it isn't.

I feel like Yamamoto will be the local kid they get.

LoL wut?

Why would the Oilers expose him? Have you seen our putrid depth?

He's one of 4 forwards worth protecting. Oilers could lose 10 of their 14 forwards and it wouldn't make a lick of difference.

 

[sufferer]

Heckin' silly full namerino, good thread.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I'm assuming people are being silly and sarcastic thinking his middle name is Jimothy but you can never be sure lol

I tell ya tho, the Jimothy silliness sure is derailing the idea of the thread wondering is Kraken will draft him!!!

Let's start a new thread discussing Jimothy Timothy Miller!

 

[danyhabsfan]

he'll be protected I think?

Wow holy hyperbole Batman! That's not even remotely close. JT Miller's first name is Jonathan, a far cry from Jim/Tim/Jimothy like you're implying.

Its not Jimothy. That was nothing more than a running joke.

So far I see zero proof that his middle name isn’t Jimothy.

Checkmate.

 

[Leafs87]

Oh wow I see why he got by TJ

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Again, no, it isn't.

Yes it is. You're wrong, and so is this Timothy Leif guy you keep talking about. Don't disrespect Timothy Jimothy Oshie dammit, that man is a Stanley Cup winner!

Salary cap requirements. The team has to take enough salary to be over the cap floor. So they can't just take cheap contracts.

averages out to about $2 million per team. Not hard to hit

Pro athletes are weirdos when it comes to initials:

"David Jonathan "J. D." Drew (born November 20, 1975) is an American former Major League Baseball right fielder."

David Jonathan = 'J.D.' Obviously.

 

[shelbysdad]

If I were Seattle I would simply stay away from a 34 year old with 4 years left on his contract at a 5.75M cap hit

For what he brings he is certainly worth it to take him, he would bring back a nice return if they traded him after the draft or at the deadline.....

Plus there will be a few team dump a few higher salary players on them along with who they pick. They will have ZERO issue reaching the floor.

 

[nturn06]

Because there's this thing called a "cap floor."

At a time when there are 31 teams in the league looking to trade away a bad contract reaching the cap floor is not an issue. They do not need to take players with high contracts, they can easily reach the floor via trades or UFA signing.

Actually, given the COVID situation, the smartest thing Seattle can do is exit the draft with as much cap space as they can.

 

[Dabeast]

Because good players on good contracts are going to be exposed, right?

Yes, and also you can get players in other ways.

For what he brings he is certainly worth it to take him, he would bring back a nice return if they traded him after the draft or at the deadline.....

If you could get a trade lined up then yeah why not, but with a flat cap I'm not overly convinced

Local kid... perfect idea

I bet he hasn't set foot in the state of Washington since he was 12 years old.

Hmm...interesting. According to Timothy Leif Oshie, it doesn't stand for anything. Here's your source: Ask a Player: T.J. Oshie. If you scroll down to question 10, he says this:



But I'm sure you know better than the man himself.

Thanks for the explanation, though I admit I expected a better story.

 

[lawrence]

they not taking Loui Ericcsson? damit.

 

[Black Kevin]

Jimothy? That's a cool ass name. I wonder if he got bullied in school... kids are evil!

 

[Refuse]

Why would he be bullied in school for something the internet made up years later?

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

It is! It's a badass name as well.

Not real and nothing compared to what his last name stands for and really does:

Oshie is from the Anishinaabe or Ojibwe Nation; his name in the Ojibwe language, or Anishnaabemowin, "Keeway Gaaboo," means "coming home." Giiwe translates roughly as "s/he returns home." If the -aaboo in Gaaboo refers to water, then this name may evoke the poetic image of water that, by traveling downhill inevitably will find its way home to a larger body of water, such as the Great Lakes or the sea.

Why would the internet make up Tim-Jim’s school?

Because you must never let the facts stand in the way of a good (stupid) meme.
