Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency - Offseason Edition

[Richard88]

Atkinson on a 1 year under 1 million? I wouldn't say no. Bottom 6 roles on the cheap are going to be vital.

Need those roster spots for guys who can fill those roles well though

 

[AslanRH]

So many folks longing for aging guys who can't skate near Bednar levels.
Cogs could still do that which made him an excellent veteran fit.

 

[Richard88]

What do you think of Jesse Ylonen i think hes style of Play are similar to Lehkonen

He skates fast but isn't really what this team needs as he's more of a scorer than someone you want in the bottom 6 (and isnt even that good at scoring either)

 

[Alienblood]

It was definitely a mistake. We're only halfway into his deal and so far we've had 1 awful year and 1 decent year, and he isn't getting younger.

Again, 33 years old before even one single game of next season starts.

Last year he was a legitimately fine #4D. It was also the most games he's played in a season since 2018. I'd bet a bunch of money last year proves to be the statistical anomaly and we see some pretty solid regression again this year.

33 isn't old

To be fair, we're probably going to have openings in the Top 6 to start the year as well. Wouldn't hurt to give someone like him a shot and see what he can do while we wait for Landy/Nuke/Lehky to be healthy.

If Avs trade Manson, that blue line will be softer than a young girl’s Barbie collection

Creepy!

Dylan Demelo is 2 years younger(And quite frankly better), Zadorov is 4 years younger.


Just because someone is about to make an even bigger mistake on Zadorov, doesn't mean Manson isn't also a mistake.

Healthy Manson is worth it.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Healthy Manson is worth it.

Health and Manson don’t quite go hand in hand though.

Are we moving to the draft thread even with the trades and signings today? Is it going to be live?

Why are teams moving up in the draft before the draft has started?

Clearly they have players in a tier above and want to make sure they get their guy

On a team like this, oh yes it is.

The rumor mill is that Montreal has two players they really want in the late 1st and the Avs and Bruins have been linked to at least one of them (unsure on the other). So Montreal has been working to get a pick in the 21-23 range and found a taker.

Some people have painted the picture (on this site and in the media), that Laine wanted out of Winnipeg. Which is probably true, but not because of the city and the organization. Locker room conflicts. Funny how it coincided with Bufyglien also quitting, yet some people didn't connect the dots... I just wonder if it was just Wheeler, or is Scheifele the issue.

You know what team we root for though - the player hardly matters.

If the issue was Wheeler, and both the Winnipeg locker room and Laine would be happy with the re-union, I would absolutely do it if I was Winnipeg. That could actually convince Ehlers to stay as well, considering him and Laine are very tight.

I think I read this somewhere yesterday. Naz has seen what the team is about to become, it was kinda clear last year already when they traded everyone and now Markström is gone as well... So he might be willing to waive.

Naz should draw up some interest, especially if the Flames would do something like the Sharks and retain like 1.5 or 2mil for multiple years. Good luck to Huberdeau lol.

I'm still mad at cMac for letting this guy go to begin with.

Poor Conroy negotiating with Cmac
