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

[hockeyfish]

He’s never played center before in his 15+ season career, but at 34 years old I think he should give it a try.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mikko's first and probably last shot at a true free agency. Don't blame him at all for not wanting to rush into a decision like some are trying to force him into.

Avs offered him upwards of $96M × 8. He said no.

Canes offered him $100M+ x 8. He apparently is going to balk at that as well.

All to get $14m × 7 ($98M) to play for some team that isn't as good as either the Avs or Carolina?

I don't get it.

Jokes on you, Palmieri plays 2RW after Val strikes out again.

f*** you

 

[CobraAcesS]

I felt a need to go get more tequila tonight. Seems like the right choice seeing my favorite team lose out on one of my favorite players not playing on the Avs.

 

[Valushkin]

I'll kick my dog if they get Palmieri

That’s animal abuse where I live

 

[CobraAcesS]

That’s animal abuse where I live

His dog's name is Cmac

Trading for Palmieri is also considered abuse

Jesse Ylonen?

I’m in no position to argue with that

 

[CobraAcesS]

Jesse Ylonen?

F...


You know EJ was one of my favorites when we acquired him.

Thats good. But the dog contains posassiom benzomate.

I don't get it.

Maybe he'll find his way to a good team without state taxes like Tampa, Florida, Dallas, or Vegas. How with the cap? I don't know but there's always a way if both sides want it.

All I'm saying is, he doesn't owe Carolina anything.

 

[Grackle Party]

I know ROR is slow but RoR + Nuke could work and at very least be a night mare to play against.. would RoR just shrivel up and die in Bednars system though ?

 

[CobraAcesS]

I'm way too defeated after the Lindgren trade. Already went through the stages of grief accepting it afterwards lol.

Now fkn with Nuke, that's a promise for the rest of the season lol.

I don't believe there's a snowballs chance in hell Mikko gets 14M as a UFA.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I posted this in the other thread, but Hank was Malinski's partner when we were looking at him.

Edit..

Since when does a players NTC protection go away on a random day during the season? Regarding Evander Kane.

 

[Valushkin]

CMac is done. He just did his usual press conference after being done with trades. This is what he had to say…

Probably doesn’t want to play in Raleigh . Maybe it’s just me(us) who aren’t superstar athletes but if you make a lot of money and can travel and buy property wherever , does it really matter where you live? (Honest non sarcastic question).

Maybe Rantanen just doesn’t want to be pressed into making a living n’decision so quickly ?

 

[MacKaRtin]

Chicago f***ing sucks at trading lmao

I blame this on @nammerus not pumping Ritchie's tires hard enough in the other thread. Ritchie certainly should have much more value than Florida's 1st two years from now if they were looking for NHL-ready players

I expect a middle six add at the very least.

 

[hockeyfish]

Ok, I consider myself pretty well versed in contratcs and CBA stuff. But Kane's NTC "evaporated" WTF?

 

[BobRossColton]

Mitts+whatever for Pinto.

Pinto keeps scoring

Mikko thinks he's going to come take his 1RW spot next to Mack back.

Yeah, wtf

 

[MacKaRtin]

I heard that Rantanen used to play center in his youth days. Maybe we can acquire him and see if he's the answer to the 2C problem!
