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

[hockeyfish]

Bringing Perry in the first place. Employing Taylor Hall. Mrazek. Kurashev. They don’t mind questionable characters at all.

I'm not familiar with Kurashev, but the others are just asses. Huge difference between that and having a hooker OD in your hotel room.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I would 100% take a shot on Laine if Cmac could miraculously fit him in. Right handed shot and I'd be more then willing to bet that Rantanen and Lehkonen can get his game right. If only we could unload Nuke for him retained. One can dream.

No no no. Please no.

Strong ‘I can fix him’ energy

Thissss

The only difference is OD on Mrazek.

Laine for Nuke makes too much sense. We are getting the worse player though and I can already predict frustration will flare all around here.

Laine would at least give us a HIMS spokesman again.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

What you’re not accounting for at all here is how many top picks they’ve each had. McDonnell has had a single top 10 pick with the Stars (he also won a Cup with the Wings).


Rumors are floating they are shopping to anybody who’ll listen. The Hawks answer there tells you a lot. They can afford the risk, are a rich org, need talent, and still don’t want him.

Understandable they don’t need that kind of drama around Bédard ..

Playing with a real top 6 center would be a good start.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

The only thing Laine for Nuke does is change a 6 year disaster into a 2 year disaster. And Nuke is the much superior player.

All things considered I'd rather take my chances with Nuke staying clean or us being able to escape his contract with zero penalties if he backslides one more time.

If there was anywhere I'd like to see Nuke land it would most definitely be Columbus

Why so serious?

 

[Murzu]

I would trade Nuke for Laine, no problem. Laine isn't same level headcase and has a lot less risk. The guy has personal problems but I'd imagine those are very different than what Nuke is "dealing" with (no puns intended).

If Laine finds his game, he is first level talent easily. At worst he is second line winger with one of the best shots in the game.

I'd hope that Cbj would retain 2,5M on Laine's salary though.

The only thing worse than one lazy Finn? Two lazy Finns.

On the plus side, Colorado’s tax revenue will go up.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Yes, admittedly Laine retained for Nuke makes some sense. But if Landeskog can't come back we need to add some more beef to the top 6. Or go find another 3C and switch Colton back to W

Lmao bruh if the Jackets even uttered the words "Laine for Nichushkin" the Avs should take that deal and run.

If the Avs trade Nichushkin, I think it'll be a pure cap dump style move.

Yeah if you do the math… very hard to even keeps Nuke’s salary, let alone add.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

We’re finally getting Laine? Laine-Mitts-Rants would be hilarious, just Mitts trying to do all the responsible things, Mikko and Laine floating around, and just when we get frustrated they score a goal

And Mittelstadt doesn't even get a point despite doing all the important work.

Columbus and Ohio in general is refined enough for coke. That is meth country.
