Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

NHL network or hockey central? Which are you all watching? Seems like hockey central is a bit faster to break a signing?

 

[duxfan1101]

I would have done this for sure.

 

[Vaakou]

We need to get to cap floor... Are we gonna overpay 4th line players? Whats the plan?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

6 x 5.75 just looks way better than 7 x 5.5M...I wouldn't have hated if we signed that, but then again it may have cost us 6M+

 

[JAHV]

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.

I actually just noticed it was five years and not four. At four years, I could stomach it. But that fifth year will be brutal. No thanks.

 

[The Duck Knight]

We don’t have a second

If your referringto an offer sheet

Dagnabbit. Somebody should though.

 

[JAHV]

Yeah, I could have been ok with that for Roy. A year too long, but the dollars are right. We would probably have needed to go 6 x $6.5.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Nashville definitely can’t add Stephenson and keep Carrier, maybe Carrier shook loose?

 

[Arthuros]

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."

Yeah, if I had to choose between signing these deals vs. waiting for the frenzy to die down, I'm fine if Verbeek stands Pat for a bit.

Bigger question is who is even left that's worth signing. It's one thing to not sign a bad deal, but it's another thing to not sign any...

Seems like all the big names are off the board. What even is there out there for us to get?

 

[robbieboy3686]

Trouba via trade petrangelo if the rumors of vegas shopping him are true and some depth.

Seems like all the big names are off the board. What even is there out there for us to get?

Looking like the trade/waiver market at this point.

DeBrusk will be a Duck. Too quiet around him at this point

 

[Emerald Duck]

Cmon PV. Time to wake up !

Forgot about DeBrusk but need him on RW. Also, watch the Ducks bring back Rico.

Flames poking around and spending money elsewhere. They may know Debrusk is going elsewhere

 

[91Fedorov]

I'm hoping for Trouba now. I know he's declined and over paid, but he could add some physicality that we could use. And his contract would come off the books right when we need it to.

 

[Terry Yake]

as usual, the ducks will be left with scraps. not really complaining though, considering the insanity of some of these deals being handed out

 

[91Fedorov]

Yeah, if I had to choose between signing these deals vs. waiting for the frenzy to die down, I'm fine if Verbeek stands Pat for a bit.

I see what you did there!

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Yea would’ve signed that Roy deal. Lame day as always

Wow

First year cap goes up in a little while and the league collectively loses it's mind.

 

[JAHV]

If we end up with Matt Dumba, my faith in Verbeek will take a HUGE hit.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I would have been fine with 3 years 30 million for stamkos. 4 years is too much tho
