ash11 78 Report post Posted October 11, 2014 Sooo from "thehockeynews" website; specifically their rumor round up section, the oilers are looking for a center, one named that has surfaced in the rumor circle is Jeff Petry. Id give them Weiss and kindl for him. Then we could have oullet and Petry, plus he a right hander, that would give us two right handers on our d line. However I dont know much about him, so idk his trade value. Bad thing is his contract expieres next year, 3.08 million cap hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted October 12, 2014 Lol. Oilers lack defense. Better trade our d away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 12, 2014 Lol. Oilers lack defense. Better trade our d away. Who knows. Maybe they want to add a savvy veteran with playoff experience. That’s right. As bad as Kindl is, he’s played in more playoff games than any Oiler D man not named Ference or Fayne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 12, 2014 I don't even need Jeff Petry coming back in the deal. If I'm Ken Holland would totally be willing to send Kindl of to Edmonton for a pick. Any pick will do. 1 Holmstrom96 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted October 12, 2014 The Thing is, the Oilers aren't actually that bad it's just Eakins is in way over his head. The guy has HIS system and no matter what he will stick to it, even if the players don't understand or can't executee it. He got away with it in the AHL, because the Marlies have a stacked roster but it just doesn't work in the NHL. Schultz needs to get his prioities straight the guy is a defender, so defend for christs sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 12, 2014 How long before Eakins is on the hot-seat? Even with all of the shenanigans of last season (jerseys being tossed on the ice, etc.) they seem to have him on a really, really long leash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah he's a Swede... That's what happens when you rush a kid. I don't know why people want the Wings to trade for a young defenseman. I'm all for moving Kindl, but they have Ouellet, Jensen, Marchenko, Sproul, and Backman already.

Yeah that's true and they are always rushing the kids, I mean Draisaitl has a whooping 2 NHL games and is already their #2 center ? Some of their fans are already screaming for Babcock even if Katz pays a premium he is not going to ruin his legacy by taking over for Eakins. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 There are a ton of examples around the league of players getting rushed into the NHL way too early, and suffering from it. A lot of these guys are still kids coming from junior and are pressured to produce at the highest level right away. This is exactly why I think it's best for Mantha to start his career and possibly even spend his entire first season down in Grand Rapids once he's healthy. I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion on here, but I also think Jurco could use a little more time down in GR and I wouldn't mind him being sent down once Datsyuk is healthy and if Babcock ever decides to get Weiss in the lineup... On Petry, I wouldn't mind having him but only if Kindl is going the other way, and it would certainly take more than that to get him. Probably more than I'd be willing to give up, especially with so many other guys knocking on the door to crack our back end. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, who cares what we get back for Kindl and Weiss, just getting the cap space to re-sign our players in the main thing. My point exactly if you can get Petry in exchange for Weiss, Kindl and also gain a huge amount of capspace - with Boychuk being UFA after this year - Holland has to jump on that trade. The only downside is I don't think Craig MacTavish is stupid enough, to accept such a deal heck give us a 3rd rounder and it's a done deal, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Internet.Unknown 422 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 Right, who cares what we get back for Kindl and Weiss, just getting the cap space to re-sign our players in the main thing. Weiss may or may not pan out as a Red Wing. Still far too early to tell. Babs didn't play Tatar at the beginning of last season, was in the doghouse, and he turned out to be pretty good for the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,675 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Rumor from The Fourth Period today... "As it has been well documented, the Red Wings have expressed interest in Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers... It's believed Holland has also inquired about Arizona Coyotes rearguard Keith Yandle, who remains unlikely to be moved and Winnipeg Jets blueliner Zach Bogosian." In the order that they're listed...Nope. Yep. Nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvanpop 98 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 How about a totally different direction. Weiss, Anderson and Kindl for Hall. Get rid of extra parts to give prospects a chance and get a proven scorer. Heck if you want Petry just add lashoff and if necessary a late round pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
