Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

[The Duck Knight]

The fact that Vegas is willing to let him go is a bit frightening.

They almost assuredly aren't. He's also got a full NMC. None of the insiders have said anything on it. Jamie Mclennan is the only person that has said anything about it.

That fit just makes no sense to me. They have 4 RD already and have very little cap space. I guess they must plan on trading someone.

That’s what convinced me it was probably gonna happen when Friedman predicted it this morning. On the surface doesn’t fit but it’s such a bad guess that it must be an informed one.

It would be neat to see TT returning to Chicago, if it wasn't Chicago

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Absolutely 0 interest in Chabot anyways lol no loss there, would be sweet to sign someone though

Eh. McCrimmon is still just throwing shit around the walls to see what sticks. Probably still trying to get Marner. I actually think Petro in Anaheim is a solid fit. We have the cap space for now, he's not going to be good enough to be the main anchor of a cup contender but he can definitely bolster a team like ours if the plan is to start getting back to the playoffs. Plus, he could keep his kid in Vegas if he wanted to. Not a far drive/flight to get back here.

Then again, if he starts to rapidly decline he could just be an overpaid Fowler. He already started making a lot more mistakes last season.

Same here. He's nowhere close to the Karlsson heir apparent Sens fans played him up to be.

Just out of curiosity, how far are we from the cap floor for next season?

 

[Unholy]

Good for Montour, hope he can rebound from this past season/playoffs

I know Nashville has a lot of cap space, but how can they afford Stamkos, Marchessault, Stephenson, Skjei, and Carrier?

Tax Breaks.. Thats why we here in CA dont get the big names much

Before I went there a few weeks ago I didn’t see what people saw in Nashville.

Now I know it’s a fun city with shitty weather.

I don't think they can?

Uhhhhh

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Just wait and be patient, friends. Verbeek doesn’t leak so why would we think anything on the Ducks would leak pre official opening? The fact that some of these big names are trending in certain directions but not set in stone tells me there’s a good chance Verbeek is lurking out there

There’s still a salary cap to adhere to. Stamkos at $8M leaves around $18M left for them

$22 million for all those guys (which is just a guess, but possible if they give Stamkos and March more term), would still leave them $4 million below the cap with only a backup goalie and a 7th d-man to sign. So they could even go up to $24 million probably.

This is the time of day where contracts are pretty crazy. Not sure you want to be on the confirmation side of most of those

I am so curious to see what kind of contract they are giving him. Probably similar to Killorn's deal.
