Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

I mentioned in the Sennecke chat that Calum Ritchie is the Avs top prospect and team/linemate of Beckett. Nothing else really makes sense, and this would just push back our rebuild even more. Nothingburger.

To me, this is the part that frustrates me when I hear rumors about Zegras. They never consider the Ducks side of the equation. It's always a pick or prospect that the Ducks will just be overjoyed to have. Then, the Ducks must wait years to see if they'll make the NHL and then maybe they'll be as good as Zegras and maybe, if lucky, better. It's just nonsense.

If, for example, Friedman suggested a Pettersson for Zegras trade with Vancouver, that's at least something to talk about. There are reasons both teams might consider even if I personally wouldn't do it. I'm just tired outside media assuming the Ducks are just here to help their team.

I would do Zegras + our 1st round pick (top 5 protected) for Pettersson or Tage Thompson.

I’m not interested in anyone else really

Nope.

I don't know if VAN will trade EP now since they acquired Marcus Pettersson. They seem to want to corner the market on Pettersson's (or as one main board poster said, all of Mr. Petter's sons).

If I am Lucas Pettersson I wouldn't sign a long term apartment lease yet...

 

[AngelDuck]

Nope.

Interesting, Pettersson has been an above a PPG player several times

I love Z but the results aren’t in the same stratosphere

Have to give to get too and Pettersson/Carlsson down the middle with Terry/McTavish/Sennecke/Gauthier would be really intriguing

I think Vancouver and Buffalo hang up the phone pretty quickly on that offer.

I agree
