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

[RoyIsALegend]

Or in other words, we're gonna Skoula them. And then we'll step onto the Podein and collect our Parise

I just want us to end on a Hinote.

We are more likely to end on an absolutely, unhinged Rantanen

 

[ABasin]

He was the first opposing depth player I wished we had that we actually got. Really liked his game.

Some years ago, I was playing at a noon pickup skate, and Laaksonen showed up and played. Unfortunately, for the other team, lol. That dude could skate.

Dreger on TSN 1050 Radio:

“Look, I know everybody wants to see it, but Sid gets a say in this too, right? He just doesn’t want to leave Pittsburgh. He’s only interested in his legacy with the Penguins.”

That's really cute Sid, but everyone on earth wants to see you play next to Mac and actually win something meaningful again before you ride into the sunset. No one wants to watch legends die a slow death on shit teams.

 

[Bender]

I probably vividly remember every single player that has ever played a game for the Colorado Avalanche.

Even Joel Prpic ?

So this Nation's Cup and the 2026 Olympics will be the last meaningful games of hockey we may ever see of Sid. What a waste to maybe have the last 6+ years of his career not make the playoffs. The guy could've challenged for #2 in all time playoff points.

There's also no way that these guys know what Sid really thinks or wants. Of course Sid will say the right things, that he wants to stay in Pitt, he can't just come out and say he's open to leaving right now. It would never surprise me if he was actually dealt and Mac is on secret mission right now laying the groundwork in Sids mind that Pitt sucks and Colorado has nice rivers and a decent hockey team to play on.

I was going to go with Samuel Henley.

Played 1 game, scored a goal and got a minor penalty.

Meh, the greatest of all time missed the playoffs entirely in 4 of his final 6 seasons with the Kings/Blues/Rangers. Mario missed the playoffs his final 4 seasons, too.

Sid's legacy has long been set. Two Olympic Golds, three Stanley Cups, two Conn Smythes, Golden Goal in 2010, two Art Ross, two Hart, three Lindsays, two Rockets.

To do it all with the same team is an unbelievable achievement. Who else in history can say they have this legacy with the same team? His legacy is better than Yzerman's, Sakic's, Lidstrom's, etc.

Fans like you need to look in the Mironov.

I’m Holden onto hope the Avs will get yet another SC. Need Guenin back on 2nd pair?

Sakics? Bite your tongue!

You're also thinking too logically here. We're thinking selfishly as Avs fans. Don't come in here with that kind of reasoning.

Also, just cause some other legends deciding to play it easy and play for crap teams before they left, doesn't mean they should. Raymond Bourque had the balls the size of Boston and left to win a cup, whether your first, or 4th cup, doesn't matter. Gotta think big.

Agreed, it’s honestly unBerrable.

Well, no, Ray only left Boston because he never won a Stanley Cup. If he had won with the Bruins say against the Oilers in 1990, he never leaves Boston.

This is getting petty, we need to stop acting out like Boychuk's and start Manson-ing up

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Surprised to not see any mentions of Avs legend Joffrey Shitstick yet. He and Bartholemew Ignatious Terranus Ponsonby Mortcombe III are my favorite Avs of all time.

 

[The Moops]

I get it, but nobody thinks Wayne's legacy is tarnished for not staying in the same place for his entire career... In fact there is a case to be made that it's very seldom that you see it as a downside.

Honestly I can only think of 2 examples that hurt someone's legacy. Karl Malone (only because he didn't get a ring with the Lakers) and Kevin Durant - probably because he was just jumping team to team. But they are still all time greats, so I don't know

Eh, all these puns are making me Simon

I'm aware, that's why I said, "Whether your first cup, or 4th cup..."

 

[Grackle Party]

While we are digging up old names, which dman from the past could lay the nastiest Budaj checks?

 

[dahrougem2]

That's not how these things work, though. Ray's first cup mattered a lot more than Crosby's potential fourth cup.

Adam for sure . He loved Footloose
