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

I still want Olivier

I think I read he might be being extended. But yes, he’s a warrior type you’d like.

Rantanen will extend with Colorado.

I’d bet almost anything on it.

Yeah it seems like a foregone conclusion and it’s only worth it if we win another Cup during his prime then we’ll be talking about this forever. At his worst he’s Burakovsky.

So why doesnt Malkin want to leave? Also why none of the Tampa guys wanted to leave. They won twice. Also Marchant and the guys are still in Boston.

Its like you think that they wont be friends after multiple years playing together. Why would they want to leave? I cant think any other reason that being forced by management or opportunism to gain something.

You asked : "Ofcourse I dont know Mikko but who wants to leave a team in cup window?"

I answered a hypothetical question. I don't know why he'd want to leave... it's just a guess.

While we're at it I don't know why someone who's ALREADY made $52 MILLION dollars over the past SIX YEARS would be offered something around $10M per year for something like 7-8 years and actually turn it down because it's 'not enough'. Why does anyone do anything ?

not a trade proposal but more on the discussion of having rants vs depth.

I'd rather the combined salaries and players of Cirelli + Hagel on this time vs just 1 rantanen and his new 2025 salary

Vegas and Florida and even Dallas' success of late shows u dont need a winger like Rants to win a cup

drouin - mack - nuke
hagel - mitts - cirelli
lehks - colton - LOC

wow

In theory a trade like this makes sense. But why would Tampa bay do this?
