Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

Unless they ditch some salaries, oilers only have about $7-8m to make any significant additions.

It sounds like Nurse is going, but how much is retained.

 

[Preston]

1) straight from the department of made up shit that sounds sensible, yes.

2) cheaper is always better when you can manage it. Expensive is better than not having it

He's maybe the only goalie I may plug my nose and pay for in the right circumstance, yeah. But it's hardly without risk and mostly goes against the analytic trend.

But yeah, seems to be made up so no guarantee this exec is horny to get this done.

It's cool though, they're going to be able to clear 12.5m in the not so distant future

Then again, the acquisition cost will say a lot about how this position is viewed around the league. He won't go for much.

 

[LeafGm]

Dickinson is only a third line center if you embrace the Dubas theory of hockey that everyone outside of your top two lines should ideally be a low-event cardio merchant that acts as a black hole to suck up any kind of offensive hockey.

Oh I think you're going to be surprised at the acquisition cost.

 

[Leafin']

We should get in on Helly. Wouldn’t be the least surprised if he has another Vézina in him.

 

[Habspatrol]

Yeah I'd be in at 8.6 I think. I'm not convinced that he's worse than Horvat or Larkin away from that shitshow in Vancouver.

Yeah I'm all over that if I'm Montreal. Depending on the acquisition cost of course. A couple of posters on the Montreal board from Vancouver keep going on about how toxic he is. Blame him for Miller and Hughes being traded. Meanwhile Miller is a notorious cunt... And I'm not sure Hughes ever really wanted to play in Vancouver. Certainly not while they are not a contender.

 

[Preston]

Oh I think you're going to be surprised at the acquisition cost.

And you as well!

Not English

Still one of the most astute things he’s typed out

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Jesse is one of the worst.

Even I wasn't going to go that far. I was thinking something like Lundell + 2026 1st (Tampa's) + 2027 1st. Florida has 2 1sts in both years so they're giving up from surplus. Lundell is an important player for them but Barkov & the douche are a perfectly cromulent 1-2 punch at centre and they had enough assets to go out and get another centre, or even work Lowry into the deal for an extra 2nd or some shit (Florida has 2 of them in 2027 as well)

Like one of those people who hits their head and starts speaking perfect mandarin.

I tried that every day. Never worked. But now I found Claude

I think Helly breaks the normal goalie trade value rules

Ive been thinking for a while that the noise of him to VAN is just nonsense and no reasonable franchise would put that kind of pressure on father and son.

Caleb could be a Hawk/Ranger
