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

[CobraAcesS]

According to Nuke, he was headed home in the morning anyways because he was having issues with his shoulder (needed a shot in Denver) and would have missed the first round no matter what. Partied with his friends the night before - had nothing to do with the girl.

He also mentioned not being able to sleep at all and how much it effected his mental state.

I didn't hear any mention of drugs (obviously)

too long; didn't watch

I am used to TLDR, totally didn't click lmao.

Maybe I just like stuff like that, but I thought it was worth the time.

Thanks. I looked it up. I take my unfamiliarity as a sign that I’m wretchedly old now. LOL

 

[ABasin]

I knew what TL means. Not DW. I’m out of tune with the times.

Same here.

 

[Pokecheque]

I trust anything Nuke says about as far as I could throw him and the hooker at the same time. And I'm a flabby desk jockey in his late 40s with two bad shoulders.

Same as we heard over the summer. Weather or not you want to belive it is up to you.

Would have been so much better if he just owned it up front. Ah well. The drama continues apace.

Yep, he steadfastly refuses to even apologize while acting like a Russian gangster on social media.

I really hope they get rid of him soon. He's going to f*** up again, it's just a matter of time.

Could this work, or am I out of my mind?

To NJ: Colton + Murphy + TML 1st
To Hawks: Nemec + Meier + NYR 2nd
To Avs: Jones ($2.5M retained)

Why would NJ want Murphy? The reason they'd even entertain moving Nemec is because they have Hamilton, Pesce, and Kovacevic on the right Infront of him. They wouldn't want Murphy.

 

[Richard88]

No

I am rescinding that offer for the GM job.

Ya'all need to watch this

I mentioned his name as he'd basically be the only forward we have that is in that elite tier that could maaaybe at least get a (very short) conversation started, not because I necessarily want to see that. I don't think it's a realistic trade anyhow.

As for the job, no taksies backsies

Could remove Murphy and Nemec. I was just trying to make it even for all three teams. NJ doesn't have the cap space to add Colton, so they would need to create space. Maybe they would entertain trading Mercer instead?

To NJ: Colton
To Hawks: Mercer
to Avs: Jones ($2.5M retained)

IDK.

Someone had mentioned that, but then flipping him for Crouse.

So Colton for Jones @ 2.5M retained for 5 years?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Sounds like a good deal to me, a fellow Colorado Avalanche fan!

I might even include Calvin de Haan if Chicago insist.

Feel free to add or subtract, Sarcastic one!

It's trade Friday, cmon Cmac!

If Chicago offer Jones at 7M AAV they'll get phone calls, we'll have to outbid everyone else. That's the hard part.

But first we gotta assume that Colton would waive for NJ and the Devils agree to trade Mercer for him and that the Hawks are interested in Mercer...(that's a shitload of assumption).

If everything above is true, I'd throw in at least our two 2025 2nd rounders to make it work. Getting rid of Colton's contract + getting Jones significantly retained for only two 2nd rd picks would be quite a win.

Just a small correction. We’ll have to outbid the teams that Jones is willing to waive for.

The list of teams he'd be ready to waive for is probably pretty long at this point.

And you know this how?

He has a full NMC.

This is JT Miller all over again.

While I agree his value is higher than what Bill posted, particularly with retention, I don’t think it will be extremely high.

For once, we actually have an inside track for a player with a NMC as it’s been reported he would have little issue waiving for Colorado. Birthplace, family, etc.

Mittelstadt+Wood for Rantanen
