and have a high draft pick in next year draft in Montreal
- dmnted

YES

He had a .919 last year somehow
- Steven_Seagull

Very small sample set and he lost 3 of those 8 starts.

Stop hoping. Not gonna happen?

Seriously, what kind of impactful return is there on Alex Kerfoot?

You know the answer.
- fifty__missions

losing that cap hit is the real return.

Knies is exactly the type of player we need

Im still hoping Dubbie does something bigger. Might mean trading Kerfoot/ Reilly but nail a homerun here somehow and at least make some sort of impact.
- Roadrunner75

I think if a Kerfoot trade occurs, it will be after Free Agency opens up

Campbell will play 65 games. We’re good.

Too bad he won't be an impact player until 5-6 years from now and even then it's 50-50 whether he makes it to the show.

Joe Woll is gonna Jennings.

Joe Woll is gonna Vezina.

I hope not. (frank) Max

it's a start at least...getting these guys in the system

- dmnted

Yup. True there. Going to be more of a cap dump type move there on that one

Keep searching, there's a lottery ticket hidden in there.
- mjones242

which the owner will receive.

if you are lucky, they give you a finder fee.

why give that extra cap space to the Oilers.

cap space is a weapon to be used eh!

I hope not. (frank) Max
- Steven_Seagull

We would never hear the end of it.

Is it weird to hope Woll washes out to spite a fellow poster?

losing that cap hit is the real return.
- systemtool

For what, though? Who are you going to sign on the open market at 3C who is better and costs less?

I don't get it. If there's no chance of re-signing a pending ufa, isn't any return a good return? A half eaten sandwich is still half a sandwich.
- leafsfann

the Oiler want cap space which they don't want to pay for.

It’s the way of the Buzz

- systemtool

Yup. Very much need to restock the system. Only 3 picks next year though thankfully we still have the 1st and 2nd...

... though I'm half expecting a TDL deal that sees one or both of those gonzo.

If Dubas extends Rielly this summer I'm out.
- mjones242

a 6x6 would be nice contract

a 6x6 would nice
- dmnted

That would be absurdly nice.

I still don't know why we passed on the giant RHD who played for Canada at last year's WJC and selected Amirov.

which the owner will receive.

- dmnted

Who cares if the Oilers save 500k cap space? They aren't in our division (unless more pandemic madness) and there's no way Hyman gets even close to that amount in his next contract which makes the extra year extra poisonous.

I'll take a 7th for the trouble, thanks!

So. Anyone's spidy senses tingling on who Dubas may try to acquire as our 1a/b tender? Halak? Bishop? Who else?
- fifty__missions

Not much in the cupboard to offer in a trade.
It will be an fa signing.

a 6x6 would be nice contract
- dmnted

Not exactly a culture of team friendly contracts on this roster.

If Dubas extends Rielly this summer I'm out.
- mjones242

Hey, I'm not advocating for him to extend Rielly, what I'm saying is don't wait until next year to find out.

GET ASSETS BACK FOR A CHANGE DUMBAS. (I was yelling at Dubas not you)

If he agrees to a team friendly number, do it and no NMC or NTC. Then trade his ass for even more this summer and sign Dougie.

If he doesn't agree, trade him now for a little less but better than nothing.

It’s the way of the Buzz

Schadenfreude isn't always a good look but it can be immensely satisfying depending on the target.
