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

Okay new plan
Get Colton to waive for NJ to acquire Mercer
Give Mercer a trial run right before TDL
Send Mercer and minor + for a retained Jones at the actual deadline


Or use Mercer+ to get Crouse+Marino

you know the rules Bob…

I just wish there was an ounce of thought in his proposals.

Age, pedigree are huge hurdles in this

Not to mentions it’s a down year for Mercer on a good contract

Nah I’m just messing around with him.

I got no problem with his proposals. You know why? Cause he doesn’t argue the value, doesn’t get mad if you tell him it’s no good. He’s not entrenched in his position. He Just happily throws out random ideas.

 

[Pokecheque]

What if we bring back Radar? Are the bridges burnt or can it be rebuilt?

I think he's still friends with Mack. I dunno.

Preds made it clear they’re not moving him.

Yep and really that’s all any of us can do , it’s for fun in the end .

Zegras is a C. He had his two best seasons in the NHL playing mostly at the pivot. Again, injuries are a huge concern but I think he’d be perfectly fine in Bednar’s system. He has yet to play for an NHL head coach who has anything remotely resembling an offensive scheme.

sure it’s for fun and I enjoy the discussion. It’s just silly that no thought goes into it from the other side, I just think it could be better

 

[BobRossColton]

I feel like someone else mentioned Mercer and concluding we'd probably just keep him.

 

[BobRossColton]

I blame Eklund..

He's not. Just because at one point a player played C it doesn't mean that's his position forever. The team went ahead and drafted Carlson and McTavish as soon as they could to make sure they'd have decent Centers going forward.

Zegras just sucks at this point, there's nothing there. It's not the team 'is holding him down' - he's frikkin' Galchenyuk at this point. No team is trading for him - at all - let alone trying to bring him in to be a center in a Top-6.

People kept suggesting it was all the coach with Galchenyuk too and as soon as he got out of there, he was going to take off. Not going to happen.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

That MacKinnon goal being his first on the PP in 44 games is a crazy stat. Wow.

 

[Richard88]

If this is possible to make happen they need to do it 100% IMO.

In:
Jones $2m retained ($7.5m)
Dumoulin 50% retained ($1.575m)
Zetterlund 50% retained ($725k)

Out:
Wood
Kylington
Malinski
Picks/prospects

Leaves the roster below. If you pay another 4/5th round pick to get double retention on Dumoulin that would also open up more forward options with higher caphits than Zetterlund (he might be too expensive as SJ probably don't want to trade him, I just used him as an example).

 

[a mangy Meowth]

he's frikkin' Galchenyuk at this point.

Has it gotten THAT bad?
