Warhippy Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Supplementary trades. Very few large ticket items left on the board right now. Gonna be another quiet TDL where TSN and Sportsnet spend a full 9 hours trying to make something for nothing. I miss Bob McKenzie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with OEL, teams that would want him, won't tie up that much cap for that long. Any team that would eat part of his cap as a third party, won't do it for that many years. Myers will be moved after July 1 and much more easily than fans think. OEL, you have to convince him to waive his NMC before you could even send him to Abbotsford.

I miss Bob McKenzie I dunno, I think there are still a few big ticket guys on the board: Meier, P Kane, JVR, Domi, Barbashev, Athanasiou, Bjugstad, Gavrikov, Klingberg, Chychrun, Ghost, Korpisalo, Lankinen (granted not all of these are BIG tickets, but still plenty of targets for contenders) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Myers will get traded in the summer once his signing bonus is paid out. OEL is a potential buyout candidate. The real left-field trade would be if they decided to move Miller before his NTC kicks in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers we might be able to trade at the 2024 TDL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that five million bonus is paid a team will take a chance on Myers as a reclamation project with one year left on his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, here's a question for all the OEL haters. Is it possible that this is a guy who needs to play in a structured system to be successful? As much as I liked coach BB as a personality and wasn't happy with how the Management handled that whole situation, he definitely wasn't the right coach long term for this team. BB did not coach a structured system, which was likely a big part of the failings in Washington in playoffs. Playoffs, you really ou succeed with a structured system and when they bought in, they won the Cup with a coach who built structure. So, regardless of how you or anyone else answers this, he doesn't really fit in our cap structure, we are spending to much on the left side. Are we though, seeing a guy who needs structure? Everyone's needs are different in all aspects of life. I've successfully worked from home office for more than 20 years, but I know plenty of highly skilled, intelligent people who fall apart outside an office environment. Just something to consider before writing him off completely. As Tocchet establishes a more structured approach, will his game and performance improve again?

As Tocchet establishes a more structured approach, will his game and performance improve again? First off, I'm not an "OEL hater", and I think that characterization of anyone who questions OEL's utility on this team to be overly simplistic. Secondly, he's already been through the wash cycle with Dick Tocch. He didn't do very well the last time they were together, in the desert. Not sure this iteration will necessarily help him break the mould of "the definition of insanity". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
