Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

Missing out on Roy hurts, although that's a long time.

Ottawa is such a joke of an NHL team

Yeah no thank you

I don't get the Nashville appeal. They're mediocre and will apparently forever be.

Canadian hockey players often identify with being "country folk" and country folks love Nashville for obvious reasons.

I hope Verbeek's plan is to wait out this term frenzy and then get some guys on the cheap through the trade market when GMs wake up tomorrow with hangovers realizing they just gave seven year deals to guys entering their age 30 season.

Washington is over the cap with that Roy signing (and that's including Backstrom LTIR money).

 

[Static]

These deals are bad. Seven years for Roy??? Come on

A bit of talk Oshie is done too.

Trouba or Pitrangelo we need one of them. Also, I always felt the top 6 wing we sign would be via trade.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

The cap hit for Roy isn't bad but I don't know, I just generally don't believe in giving 7-8 year deals to guys who aren't truly high end.

Outside of maybe Marchessault, I haven't seen any deals that I've thought, "I wish Verbeek had been able to get that deal in Anaheim."

 

[Anarchynate]

I’d sign Tarasenko on 2x3.5. Would be a solid addition

 

[robbieboy3686]

I’m glad we didn’t do that contract

Any RFAs we should target?

Broberg. 1x4.5. Would cost a 2nd or screw EDM's cap.

He’s a little guy getting older, glad we didn’t do that deal.

We don’t have a second

If your referringto an offer sheet

That has crossed my mind. He isn't the right shot Pat mentioned but does play the right side. He can score and is a surprisingly heavy presence

 

[JAHV]

Any interest in a, ahem, slightly used Trevor Van Riemsdyk? No chance he's still a Capital when the season starts, right? And they'll certainly be sending an asset along with him to take the contract ($3 million per for 2 years).

I didn’t even like that one. Stamkos and Sam Lafferty are literally the only two I would’ve wanted here. Shouldn’t have been surprised but yeah it’s crazy out there again.

Man, he was perfect
