Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

[nammerus]

We're the only team in the league that does the opposite for some inexplicable reason.

It’s not really inexplicable. It’s because CMac is a dog shit GM.

Don’t remember where the noise came from last year about Dowd getting a first. But it’s certainly nice that didn’t happen. Otherwise, the conversation about Evans’ value might be different.

The talk was about Dowd/Lindgrem for a 1st was because at 50% you'd get Dowd for two years for like 650k or something and a big upgrade in net.

If that’s what it was, it would have been worth a 1st. Too bad that had to be used to maneuver around getting rid of Johansen (et al).

Same reason we should be talking about a Fowler Gibson trade.

I still take Drouin over Colton.

I don’t feel like they have.

I was one of them who thought that if cap space was needed, Colton was the most logical choice, of the realistic moves that there were.

These 5-6 games haven’t changed my opinion.

And it has nothing to do with Colton. I like Colton, and I like what he brings. It of all the forwards on the team with a decent cap hit, Colton was the weakest for his position being played. As a C, he’s nowhere near as good as he has been playing. The discussion was between moving Lehkonen or Colton.

I’d still prefer Lehkonen as a top 6 winger.

In b4 Colton goes on a 22 game goal less drought

Colton being the triggerman in the high slot on the power play that Bednar kept trying to make Compher into is not something I saw coming.

Very good deal for the Blues.

High IQ player that will continuously get better at different parts of his game.

I was about to get pissed off at our drafting again, but we drafted Barron one spot ahead of him, which we then used to get Lehky, and Lehky is an absolute beauty, so I'll give them a pass this time

Sell high.

We already have a ton of cap space invested in the wings. We can't move Colton there permanently and find another 3C, would make it worst. Its a temporary band-aid that is currently working well. But he'll have to go back to 3C eventually. And if BOTH Landy and Nuke are back healthy next year, he is still the most likely to be traded IMHO. But very happy to see him contribute like that!!!

Colton seems to be slotting in nicely where Kadri used to click on our PP

If he slumps I'm probably OK with trading him but he's looking like a great fit at a thin time, can't hate on those swiss army players

Apparently you haven’t seen the hate on Colton here.

Lefty Compher

Gotta see what Colton can do for us in the playoffs

He played on the same line as Wood for a whole season, getting hit with shrapnel.

We already kinda know that.

There is an extreme vitriol against him... I'd say even more than Wood and I kinda get it, but also kinda don't. He's an average 3C who has some fundamental issues in his game (namely he has the same IQ as my autistic dog). So he's not the type of guy that people love. But he is a useful player and if deployed right, can bring in results.

IMO this also shows that you can pretty much put any player next to MacK and find success... especially on the PP.
