Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | Part Deux

[RoyIsALegend]

f*** it, go grab Dumoulin and Clarke

Clarke was never available.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Penguins fans apprently cannot stand Drew O'Connor and are relieved he won't be able to be used by Sullivan anymore lol.

Idk how to feel here. Pettersson and O'Connor for a scrub in Heinen, an even bigger scrub in Desharnais who honestly should not be in the NHL, a random prospect and a 1st.

Strange.

The 1st is definitely a wildcard pick here. Could be a mid round 1st, could be an unprotected 2026 1st.

Maybe the rangers go on a run here and Miller turns up their PP again. We’ll see

Clarke was never available.

I mean, Blake may just go out and trade him for something real mediocre. You never know with that guy.

So it's the Rangers 1st that they sent over and not the Canucks?

That’s right.

Penguins gotta be praying the Rangers fall out and get a top-13 pick this year, then bottom out completely next year and gift them a top-10 pick while they tank on their own.

Poor Sid

I legit always trust fanbases for that kind of stuff!

 

[Bender]

I'm not quite sure what Van is doing...

Neither do they

 

[dahrougem2]

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not lol but I believe them regarding their dislike of Sullivan and his love of certain players.

At one point this season he had O'Connor on the top line with Sid.

 

[Pokecheque]

You think they move Petey as well?

Yes

 

[dahrougem2]

Yes

Idk if they will at this point after jettisoning Miller then using that 1st to improve the roster and shed two bad contracts.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I need MacK to convince Marchand and Crosby to come to Colorado after the 4 Nations.

If our fanbase is anything to go by, I can totatly understand why you do so.
Our view of players change game by game like a on/off switches with absolutely no room for nuance or debate.

 

[BobRossColton]

I've liked him going back to his days in Pitts, but his numbers are fugly in Annaheim. It's hard for me to tell at this point if father time caught him completely or if playing for the Ducks is just that demoralizing. But the price would have to be cheap now for me to really go after him.

His 21 minutes a night for Anaheim probably isn't the best, but if we got him, he's probably playing 13-16. Do you go for someone that pushes Girard down or someone that pushes Manson down? Unless we go for someone that has a bit more term.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Sid seeing the Pens begin the fire sale…

 

[Pokecheque]

Calling it now: Pettersson is going to pop off after this

Nostradarougemus

Oh…sorry I thought you were predicting the next Canucks trade. They did get another Pettersson.

That said, it might happen…it might not. We will see. Miller is finally outta there but I think there might be some lingering bad blood between Petey and Toc.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Yes

Seriously. What was built didn't work. Why only try to repair one wing of the house when the entire foundation is rotten.

Sucks for Vancouver fans, but they got their #1D and then ruined the #1C they had trying to exit their rebuild (if you could call it that) early by bringing in JTM. I'm not sure exactly where I think they went off the rails, but it was probably with the way they handled Horvat.

 

[Avs_19]

 

[Pokecheque]

I hope they do but probably not. If they do then Rutherford has lost all sensibility and his ego has completely taken over.

 

[dahrougem2]

Come homeeee to shattering the grand illuuuusssiioonnnn.

Come hommmeeeee to simple (Petey).

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Maybe the Canucks are just being nice and gathering all the Pettersson's and the last Wood for Colorado in a mega blockbuster.

I'm not talking about the daily GDT's but on the long run the fanbase is always right for this stuff.

I have many examples over the years that you should trust a fanbase to evaluate a player correctly.

To name a few:

Kerfoot to Toronto. Most Avs fans couldn't be happier when we learned that he was gone. Leafs fans thought they were getting a Selke caliber center because of advanced stats. Fast forward a year and they were thinking exactly like us and were trying to unload his ass in every possible trade proposal.

Newhook to Montreal: They thought they were getting a lightning fast top 6 center and were laughing at us for telling them how he was. Fast forward a year and now if you ask them about Newhook they all call him useless and want him gone ASAP.

Georgiev to Colorado: How many of us mocked Rags fans for "warning us" about Georgiev?

An oldie: Stuart to Colorado: There was a HF party like I've never seen before or since on the Sharks board because of the addition by substraction of losing Brad Stuart. Avs fans didn't believe them...until...

I could name a ton more...

 

[Avs425]

Christ, what is wrong with that lockers room now???

 

[RoyIsALegend]

The dressing room was divided in two. Two distinct camps.

I understand Miller and Boeser were very close friends. Any hope the Canucks had of extending Boeser probably evaporated with the trade tonight. I think Garland and a few others were also Team Miller.

Then you’ve got the EP crowd led by Hughes and others.

This won’t resolve itself overnight.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Christ, what is wrong with that lockers room now???

Sounds like there was quite the split between the ones that sided with JTM and the ones that sided with Petey. The ones that sided with JTM are pissed.
