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

[Balthazar]

Their GM, Tom Fitzgerald, was on Real Kyper & Bourne yesterday and was asked about the JT Miller rumours.

He didn’t confirm or deny them but said they absolutely have the bullets in the chamber to go big game hunting and acquire a player “like a JT Miller.”

I know they are still early in their window but...

Nemec for Miller just sounds like a trade that makes too much sense for both sides quite frankly.

Until you remember a thing called "the salary cap"

I just found out Kovalchuk is still on the books for NJ when looking at their cap.

It's obviously going to include a big salary, which I'd say is likely Meier.

That said, I would assume a defenseman is coming with Miller in that event, not sure who though.

Nemec is signed for two more years to his ELC, which has a base of less than $1 million. I assume bonuses push it well past that though.

I can see Malinski going the other way for a 4/5 dman. He's an RFA and he's expendable.

My hunch is the Avs bring in 2 dmen, and ship Malinski out.

NJ Devils are trying to ship Nemec (German) to Colorado for Malinski.
