2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

The picks and prospects that will return a good top 4D or top 6F are exactly the ones you won’t want to give up.
I'd rather give those guys up than sign 98% of the deals that got signed today. And the 2% of deals I would sign (Lomberg, Stenlund, etc.) aren't the type of players who would require good prospects in trade.

I'm fine trading next year's 1st in the right deal. I'm fine trading LaCombe or Zellweger or Gaucher or Colangelo in the right deal. Package them with other assets and upgrade somewhere. It's not as clean as a UFA deal, but these deals just aren't smart for the Ducks.

Would rather give up minor assets for cap dumps who are decent players on slightly inflated short term deals - compared to giving a similar player a ridiculous long term deal. There was very little that happened today that I feel envious of

Any ideas on who these decent players on slightly inflated short term deals are?
 
Wow… if only young players improved instead of staying exactly the same as their 1st or 2nd year, this team could get better.

It’s July 1st, so many chicken littles and drama queens here.

Will you change your tune if we're bottom-3 again? How many years of that is too much?
 
I come, I see we haven’t done anything shy of signing a couple of our own guys, I leave.

The Jackets giving Sean Monahan that contract is absurd though, I’d bet everything I have he doesn’t even come close to seeing all 5 years of it

If the team is bottom 3 again without a ton of injuries causing it, signing two players wouldn’t have put the team in the playoffs.

Top players aren’t coming here via FA until the team is on the cusp.

I'd be fine with moving any of our young players not currently in the NHL (obviously players just drafted are excluded from this) depending on the player we'd be going for.

In terms of our NHL players, maybe unpopular but I can see LaCombe getting moved this off-season in a package for an upgrade. Don't see him beating out Minty/Zellweger and don't think his long term NHL future is playing on the right side.

LaCombe isn’t going to return a top 4 RHD or top 6RW unless the package gets much sweeter
