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

Happy for Toews, but he must be thinking he hit the hockey lottery when he eventually sees a shift with Makar, MacKinnon, Crosby, and McDavid.

Those dudes are all going to skate on the ice and be like....

That's Devon in the foreground.

Imagine telling Islanders Toews 5 years ago pre-trade "in half a decade Team Canada will want you to line up with Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Cale Makar."

He'd probably laugh in your face asking if you had some freakish hockey wet dream.

Devon in Lou's office five years ago:

"You traded me for what? Step into my DeLorean and let me show you who I'll be playing with in five years."

 

[Foppa2118]

WTF phrasing?

Sid to Avs E87 as Biz gets a half chub

You should save this for Avs games. Pretty sure Kyle's pointing at Bedsy,

 

[myperbixhurts]

Makar traded to Calgary for Naz.

Avs would have to add

 

[Foppa2118]

Makar traded to Calgary for Naz.

Also Sakic traded to Vancouver for Pettersson, but it's the defenseman.

Trade deadline is still 4 weeks away. Would be nice to have some moves done to at least have something to discuss in the meantime.

After you win the Cup playing with a Viking God and a coke addled Russian Gangster.

I think cmac will make a move before the NHL returns to its regular season schedule. He's learned that if you wait until the deadline the prices only go up and options decline

Unfortunately, so have the GMs with stuff to sell.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Ah, yes, McDavid would really drag the Avs down…

Dude had the Cup in the building in Game 7 last year and did not impose his will on the game.

Lehkonen has the Cup in the building in Game 6 and says: Fvck it, we're winning tonight!" <- You cannot teach clutch.

MacK has never won a game 7. Does that make him not clutch?

That is certainly a conclusion that we can draw, isn't it?

Of course, MacK plays on a team with top tier talent- Makar, Toews, Necas, and so forth. McDavid and Drai sucked up all the Cap space, so they have Bouchard and Nurse behind them on D.

McDrai is sucking up the cap...? That's exactly who should be sucking up your cap space.

 

[myperbixhurts]

So they told Crosby he won’t be going back to Pittsburgh?

There’s an interesting thread on Seth Jones in the Hawks forum that outlines the fans’ perceptions of him as a Dman.

I think it's pretty clear that Jones' contract clouds how he should be perceived as a player. Jones is plenty talented, he just doesn't have the ability to be a 1D. Is he worth 9.5? No. He's like EJ for us back in his heydey. Good dman and talented, but just not a 1D.

Which is also why he'd also be perfect at 7-7.5.

Which one?

We can talk about how I’ve put on 5 more pounds over the last couple of weeks and I’m not happy about it

Friend, I hate the oil for taking the Cup from my beloved Islanders. And I will never pass up an opportunity to mock them in both subtle and overt ways.

If they sign Bouchard this summer they start closing their window. And I'd be so happy.
