The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

Feet for hand bias IMO

5 goals in 32 playoff games. it's not a mystery.

It will be a great deal for the Oilers in the first 3-4 years at 5 mil. Its the final 4 that will likely hurt

And imagine if anything goes wrong in the first 3-4.

Would be absolutely hilarious if Dubas turned around and gave the money and term he was offering to Hyman to Nick fucking Foligno.

And then re-sign Fred, and keep Kerfoot. Just double down on all of his worst mistakes.

Foligno would cost, what, 1.5-2m max?

In theory yes, but if he's getting offers to play with his brother in MIN, or return to CBJ i can see it pushing 3?

Look what god damned Oleksiak got


Also, if this happens, Zeke is Dubas.

 

[Preston]

Seems like a pretty good Kerf replacement to me (once they trade him) and a placeholder for Robertson whenever he is ready. And then you can chase Tatar, Schwartz or go big and trade for Garland. Or Danault. Forgot they needed a 3c!

Is there an anti-Hyman thing? It feels like everyone loves Hyman at this point.

The anti-Hyman thing was his first few years here where most people thought he sucked for no good reason.

 

[leafman101]

Foligno does nothing for me. I'd much rather go after a guy like Parise or Thornton for the league min. He's a 4th liner here.

 

[Preston]

Him and Danault on the third line might be kinda sweet to have tbh.

 

[Preston]

Assuming his health is back in order of course. That broken Foligno sucked.

 

[trujaysfan]

Foligno is probably a 2.5x2 player at the moment and if kerfoot gets moved and he is the cheaper replacement im okay with that.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Foligno has the opportunity to be one of the best buys of the summer if he leaves money on the table or has a cold market.

 

[Artnes]

Dreger making it sound like the Oilers really want that 8th year to keep the aav down in the low 5s and the Leafs ask is high because of it

We will see how desperate Holland is to make a splash. He needs a win after a dreadful off season thus far

 

[BG]

Foligno has a calculated contract value of $3.5m the last 2 seasons, based on my spreadsheet.

Because of the Keith trade the Oilers cant trade a 2 or a 3 since they dont know what pick they are giving the Hawks. At least not in 2022

Fucker should have a negative cap hit. Each day he’s on the roster, you accrue bonus cap space that can be used on players who are actually good.

Your making me want Foligno and Fred to happen

 

[Preston]

I'm all for mocking the trade but not enough to shut the door on his return. There's potential for nice value there, and if coupled with the right 3c they can form a nice third line.
