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

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Well Ivan is giving them a good show if there's interest at least... 1+1 so far with the Eagles, 3-3 in the 3rd.



I could see Ivan + NYR 2nd being a very attractive package for a few teams over the next couple of months. Could see Prishchepov being another piece teams look at.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I’d really prefer they keep Ivan, he’s got the makings of our homegrown Lehky (pre breakout)

Seeing how the Necas narrative mentions them looking for a star player and Colorado, they seem to allude to Rantanen. What would a trade like that look like? Would it pretty much be a hockey trade swap with how Necas is performing and the cap difference or would we expect more from Carolina? I also like the Islanders peices with Nelson and Mayfield, though instead of Palmeri I would check on Pageau.

All of that would be underwhelming for Rantanen.

Necas will be UFA a year after Mikko. Sebastian Aho has a better contract, but I don't see Canes trading him. I think they want Mikko to play with him and be their version of our MacKinnon-Rantanen pair.

If the Canes want Rants they can fork over Jarvis

Jarvis and Svech for Rants and Mittelstadt

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I know some people here dont like Svech but he would be my target from the Canes. You cant tell me he wouldn't score 50 playing next to Mack.


The other guy I would target out of Carolina is Chatfield. That's a legit Top 4D and only making $3M for 3 more playoff runs.

I could have sworn that dude was like 30. (he is 22)
Do you think he's better than Necas?

There’s still a chance he can be a full time C and he’s got Selke upside

 

[RoyIsALegend]

lol

Zero chance Carolina trades Jarvis.

People really need to come down to Earth on what a return for 3 months of Rantanen would get us.

And no, he’s not signing an extension before hitting free agency. Let’s use our brains, please.

Jarvis+chatfield

This is ultimately why I cant imagine the Avs trading him. You're 100% guaranteed to lose the trade in an ugly way at this stage in the game because yeah you're basically trading a 30 game rental.

Personally the only scenario where I consider trading Rantanen is if some team is crazy enough to actually give full value for him. If someone like Carolina felt 100% confident they'd be able to sign him without any issue and was prepared to offer that kind of package to get him... Then sure you at least listen to what they're offering.

But realistically even for a Top 10-15 player in the world, only 30 games before he's a UFA free to go wherever he wants, you aren't getting much more then that typical 1st + prospect + mid pick. Maybe each of those pieces look a little better because of how good Mikko is, IE maybe the prospect is an A-tier guy, maybe the mid pick is actually a 2nd.... But at the end of the day its still a pretty middling package of futures for one of the best wingers in the game. But that's what you get when you only have a guys rights for 3 more months.



On another note:




Didn't see if this tweet was mentioned here today or not, but with Malinski struggling I could for sure see the Avs trying to add Klingberg especially considering the interest they've had in the past. No idea if he can play anymore with the surgery but maybe it helps his mobility and he's actually decent again. Could be a worthwhile gamble especially if you do it early enough(IE the next week or so) and give yourself enough time before the deadline to evaluate and determine if its working or not.

I decline to use my brain, I already use it too much at work and I just want to be a dumb dumb hockey bro sometimes

Why don’t you think it could a sign and trade? Stone would be a recent similar example of it.

So this came up on my Twitter feed...

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I do wonder if part of the waiving of Ludvig has to do with the Avs working on a Klingberg signing. His upside is certainly higher than any one of the current depth players, and definitely higher than anyone else we could get for free. While we're at it, may as well sign Jon Toews (I'm serious about Klingberg, only half joking about Toews)

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

So this came up on my Twitter feed...

Hahahahahaha, f***!

 

[S E P H]

I've heard that if Rantanen is ever traded to NYR, Avs are big fans of Lindgren.

Hahahahahaha, f***!

You can say that again!

You do see it’s a troll account, right?

Stone was desperate to win a Cup and happy with landing in Vegas.

Mikko has his Cup. This is about letting every team trip over themselves and giving him the most money over a 7 year contract.

Just my opinion.

He's also not going to be traded in the first place, but it's fun to speculate.

 

[Pokecheque]

Wow... that's a deep cut.

I’m old enough to remember when they got all pissed off at Uncle Nasty at KBPI because he trashed them every day on his show.

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

Well yeah I get that but I think at least some of the conjecture was that they have Necas on the block for an established star like Rantanen. I would think with them being contenders too they would not want to give up any more current players than they have to, so the basis would be around Necas. The benefit to the Avs is we get a talented RW who can fill in at C for this year and next at a lower cap hit but with obvious talent drop off. I think its about what the add for Carolina would be to him I would think rather than other key players of theirs being available. At least from the info in the article.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

They're all there to see OO and Foudy, our most promising young prospects

Stay the f*** away from Ivan

 

[RECKLESS]

Mikko will look at all the offers he gets next summer on his day with the cup, sign a sweet 8 year deal with the Avs, knowing he'll soon be going hunting for his third cup with his best buddies. But not just yet, because it's a nice summer night and the sun is staying up, so he dumps his ciggie in the Stanley Cup, cracks open another beer and heads back to the sauna a happy moose.
