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

[LOFIN]

Colton is a bad contract?

Not optimal when you look at his current play, to say the least.

 

[Miri]

The Star Trek Picard series was a pretty awesome send off for that crew though.

Nope, it was f***ing shit

Well third season was almost passable i guess.

 

[Miri]

They can do Miller for Mitts without trading Manson and have enough left over to fix the 3rd d pairing.

Can they do that? Even with Landeskog coming possibly back?

I want the next trade tonight. I’m impatient and drunk. I want fireworks baby

MacKinnon for Kotkaniemi, Chicago eating MacKs entire salary till his next UFA for 2050 7th rounder, naturally sending Bedard to Carolina as well

Satisfied?

 

[Miri]

Apparently Pettersson was the one going to the Canes before they pivoted to Mikko. Friedman mentions the Sabres as a team to watch for EP now.

Poor guy might go from having to deal with that scrub JT to possibly being sent to Buffalo.

I would not mind Petterson, but if we could get him, might as well paid Mikko, right?

 

[dahrougem2]

Needed to not be signed in the first place


Colton is a bad contract?

3rd line LW who doesn't play PP and doesn't kill penalties making 4M with a NTC.

It's not the greatest.

 

[Balthazar]

Colton is a bad contract?

Of course.

 

[Chibby]

Out of curiosity. Has anyone checked on Seth Jones to see if he's feeling better?

I almost believed we were going to see something done with him at some point last night as well.

I feel something is or was in discussion. Why would their GM attend multiple Avs games?

 

[Perratrooper]

Bring Naz home. Mitts for Nasty Naz.

Or make it bigger and include Andersson or Weegar.

A Flames fan has proposed

To Cgy:
Ritchie
Mittelstadt

To Col:
Kadri
Anderson

Definitely gave me pause. I wish Kadri was a bit younger, but it isn’t the worst trade by any means.

If they'd actually do that, I'd say yes. They'll be good enough through our contention window.

Kadri is 1C on a wild card team.

5 more years at 7M vs 3 more years at 5.75M.

Happily take Naz over Casey's bum ass even if the last two years are brutal.

 

[Grackle Party]

Naz brings some tenacity, feistiness, and swag or whatever you want to call it that this team seems to be lacking

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

It has become a bit too brotherly lately.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Would the Flames retain on Naz? Probably not eh. Would be nice if another team would retain.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I don't think and that's an issue and also Naz age.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I don't think the Flames do that sort of thing. Some sort of front office cultural thing where they refuse to ever retain

 

[CobraAcesS]

Actually Necas and Naz would be nasty together theoretically. Naz is a shoot first center.

Edit.. Necas's speed would go a long way to helping a center like Naz or Mitts, or it should.

I don't think the Flames do that sort of thing. Some sort of front office cultural thing where they refuse to ever retain

No need for retention, just move Wood if needed.

Also they have no clue what they are doing. Basically they are hoping to stay mediocre forever.

Given the economy in Canada, you have to remain competitive if you want to sell tickets.

No longer is it the case where hockey trumps all and the fans will show up regardless. Just look at Winnipeg, 1st in the West and still struggle with attendance. Imagine if they were worse?

On top of that, they're building a brand new arena that costs a ton of money. Last thing fans want is a trash team to play there. However, if management was prudent they would tank the last few years in the Saddledome, sell off players and start fresh with high end talent in the new arena just like Edmonton (unintentionally) did.

I guess that makes a lot of sense. Tough spot if you are hungry for money. You need the star power.

I agree with selling off the players if that was possible money wise. If they want competitive team they need to start from zero. Basically.

They got very lucky Lindholm turned them down for 9million a season.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Not really concerned with Naz’s age when he’s such a good skater. He will be a better skater at 50 years old than Mittelstadt is today in his prime.

Regarding the last two years of the deal, who cares? We will likely be shit anyways.

He knows the system. He plays with speed and bite. Shoot first mentality which would be great with all of our pass first dudes.

Kadri has never hidden the fact that Denver were the best years of his hockey life.

 

[Ceremony]

Rantanen's been gone one game and we're back on Kadri. Fantastic.

It will never end until he falls off a cliff or we actually have a 2C as good or better, and it shouldn't.

Boy is it real worrisome about Landeskog. I go back and forth on it all the time. I just can't see how he suits up again if it's 4 months past the initial timeline and he can only do slow paced morning skates.

Parts of Lebrun's interview with CMac:

I still don't know if their priority is defense, or center. Good article though.
