Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

[Dryish]

Not confirmed yet, but it’s close…

Since it's Elliotte, this means actual trade details are going to be out in 10 minutes.

Yeah, unless something falls through, think Cam has played his last game as a Duck. Sad since I’ve always liked the player, but it’s one of the shakeups this team needs.

Hopefully Cronin is next to go.

Finally. The writing has been on the wall for this since Summer.

Time for both parties to go in a different direction. Happy to see a resolution

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Thank God

Sad day. God speed, cam, hell of a draft pick.

I hope we get something useful back.

 

[Kalv]

Oh boy. Sad it came to this, I respect Cam a lot

 

[freikugel]

I think he's beyond washed at this point but he's our longest tenured defensemen so it is a bit bittersweet, hope he does well on the Blues.

 

[Frosted Tips]

I think it's the right time. Fowler has been great and an important part of this team for years. It's time for him to start playing meaningful games again and get to enjoy hockey again. I hope he'll get to go deep in the playoffs again in the coming years.

Wonder if someone like faksa would come back. Wins faceoffs, makes $3 million, last year of his deal. I expect us to be retaining as well.

Thank the lord!

Better than Christmas, Super Bowl and nhl playoffs combined!

The blues wanting Fowler makes no sense to me.

Ya I don’t see the fit/point…. At the same time I don’t care.

Blues have to send salary back though too.

I think they're pretty banged up on the left side, but yeah it is kind of strange though I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth

So much for trading him for forward help…

Unfortunately we let his value tank too much

People here arnt going to like the return I imagine, but he’s been awful

Clear PV noticed we consistently lose when fowler is in the line up…. Not worth keeping zellweger lacombe or Mintyukov out of line up for losing

I believe they have just enough space with Krug on LTIR, but retention is also possible

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

He’s a lot worse than people here give him credit for

 

[Static]

Second must be awhile from now.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

Omg Christmas came early.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Second must be awhile from now.

The 2nd is a long way away I assume

Blues fans said they don’t have a 2nd anytime soon

 

[ff8]

Honestly would’ve just kept him as a duck. Unlike killorn, for example, he’s been with us long enough to get a pass in my book. Unless the return was decent or once he hit the milestone of 1k. This seems pointless and just making space for Trouba. f*** you killorn.
