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

[hockeyfish]

What an exciting trade in the absolute deepest part of the off-season.

Woah, OFFER SHHHHEEEEETTTTT

St Louis woke up this morning and chose violence. TWO offersheets to a cap starved Oilers team LMAO.

Edmonton should trade Ceci. A team of old fossils can’t afford to lose their only two young players.

Those offer sheets are hilarious. Neither players has earned that much, yet both players are worth more than the compensation. Love it!

Disagree, you keep those old fossils until they become something useful like fossil fuels.

The Blues have to have the record for the most offer sheets completed right?

This is how you do offers sheets, and it's really curious why there are no more of them. Overpay for potential of a good player (not elite player). You offer sheet a star player, either the other team will match it or gets massive compensation. Overpay these middle class players on a cap crunched team? You might actually get the player, and the compensation isn't huge.

A lot of people criticize Carolina for what they did with Kotkaniemi. The initial move of getting him via offer sheet was actually very well done by them. They took advantage of Montreal's cap situation. The mistake was made when they extended him for a long deal.

At first I thought this was for Bouchard and Holloway and was like wow. Off-season brain

I thought the exact same thing when I read it.

 

[BaconNater]

Offersheets are generally frowned upon unless the players play on a team whom nobody likes their GM

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Blues just moved up a couple notches in my books! The organization at least, not the fans

 

[missionAvs]

Yowza. That's a stinger for the Oilers. I don't see how they can match for Broberg but I think they match for Holloway. Shit. That's only a 2nd for Broberg too lol.

Yeah same TBH

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

They will match both, put Kane on LTIR, and then trade someone to make it work.

I hope that this is a personal attack on the guy the Oilers hired as GM, but either way, gave me a good chuckle

 

[Hasbro]

Somewhere Brian Burke is having a conniption.

 

[Balthazar]

Players warn their team before signing an offer sheet with another team. The timing of the Kane announcement tells me that they'll LTIR his ass and match...but we'll see.

Sakic?

So much fun that LTIR is just a tool that teams can seemingly use willy-nilly - on a whim - without any justification and we get burned with a guy like Nuke.

We have had Landeskog in the same situation for two years now.

I mean sure they most likely match but that's two so so contracts for an already cap strapped team to deal with.

How are we getting burned? Nuke isn’t counting against the cap?

Also the fact that Kane played through a hernia since like December(or whenever it was) is crazy to me. That would’ve been the perfect time to LTIR him but
