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

[Alienblood]

Just had a two team yes list and there was a story about JT Miller scuttling a trade here.

The JT Miller story was untrue apparently

Surprised Florida still had to pay a premium price given Jones forced his way out. Not surprised Colorado never had a shot and are bridesmaids yet again.

Would Peeke push Manson to 3RD?
How about a Zacha+Peeke package for mitts+

Toews Makar
Girard Peeke
Lindgren Manson
Kylington (Malinski, unless he's part of the package)

Speaking of holes. Holy pot holes Batman. I think this is the worse its ever been.

Anyways, yah the Oilers still attract UFAs mainly because of Connie and Leon but also because they dont practice at Coronation Arena like the Avs do.

F*** me I almost destroyed my car yesterday over a pothole

Feels like a good day to get some trading done.

Got a funny feeling about NJ. They were already going after centers before Jack ate it last night. Mitts for Mercer + picks maybe?

 

[Metallo]

I'm late on the news cycle, was the report of Miller refusing a trade to the Avs credible? Any details of that potential trade leaked?

Send butt buddies Colton and Wood back home where they belong.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

No state tax in Texas or Florida.

I take jackass JT Miller not wanting to be here as an endorsement.

Texas has MUD tax and high property taxes.

Mercer makes too much sense, but Mitts might not be the best fit there salary-wise

My hunch is that we see a Colton-Mercer swap this summer when Colton's NMC gets modified. NJ is looking for a 3C and they've liked Colton since the Tampa days. They'll most likely try him at 3C again if they acquire him

Send Miles Wood to Chicago for Craig Smith for all I care, they want players with term and he has that in spades

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I legitimately thought we had already extended Lindgren when I saw that post about Charlie today lol

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Ararana]

My brain just saw "Lindgren" and "three year extension" and I almost threw my laptop through the window.

 

[lionsDen]

Damage control? What damage?

If you don’t understand image, I can’t help you.

 

[Ararana]

Toews (28) - Makar (23)
Girard (23) - Manson (30)
Byram (20) - E.Johnson (33)
J.Johnson (35)

More people left Colorado last year than moved here.

Not nearly enough, I want moreeeeee

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Huh? I was told CMac "whiffed" on Jones. Now you're telling me we weren't even on his list of two. Well f*** me sideways.

People tell themselves a story, believe that it is true, then get confused when it doesn't match reality.

This happens a lot in 'Murica these days.

It's such a dilemma. We could get a great price for Mitts now based on how many teams need a center but at the same time it would probably destroy our season for good. (Not that Mitts any good but Drury can't be #2 center).

I guess you could then argue Mitts should have good value in the off-season too because lack of options.. so maybe our situation isn't as hopeless as you would think in terms of him.

Yeah, there's no way we re-sign him before seeing him in action. Especially after what the Rangers fans said. They say he is cooked physically. His play style hurt him.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I wished less people were moving to colorado

The whole jones thing stinks of damage control. Although Florida got him super cheap

Avalanche to pursue ‘big swing’ with top-six forward or defenseman at NHL trade deadline despite dealing Rantanen | Sporting News Nothing terribly exciting here

So we will get Rantanen back for the playoff run?

 

[lionsDen]

5 years of retaining 2.5 million…. I’d argue most off what was given up was for retention. And the goalie has been pretty bad since the draft and all his off the ice stuff

So we will get Rantanen back for the playoff run?

No, I don’t know if serious but by the rules he’s not allowed to come back

 

[LOFIN]

Can't, not allowed per CBA

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Can't, not allowed per CBA

What?! Didn't even know that but I guess it makes sense haha. Obv it was more of a joke. Mikko ain't never coming back.

I hear St. Louis is breathtaking... Detoilet as well. Don't forget about Buffalo....

I forgot Buffalo and St Louis. Those aren't better than Denver either.

Edit: Just saw your post @Bill Peckerskull Yeah Detroit too.

Detroit has cleaned up a ton in the last 8 years since I've been here (Specifically downtown). This just isn't true anymore.

Add in the OG6 history, the available surrounding rich areas, very new arena, Lake Life and no Denver doesn't have it beat. Not even close.

Doesn't come close to the lifestyle available in Seattle either with Salt Life, and Skiing all available within 45 minutes of eachother with pretty temperate climate rarely under 40 degrees or over 90. The rapid elevation change from sea level to high elevation as you go west allows for some crazy stuff all within a close proximity.

I've lived in or near all three cities, and Denver is "nice" but not that exciting by comparison.

It's interesting the perceptions people have.

The salary retention blocks a trade back. Otherwise there should be no issue with that.
