Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

Neither Kreider nor Trouba are accepting a trade to come here.

Trouba is awful. PV better not go there.

I have hard time imagining him being traded for to play bottom pairing easy minutes.

I don't think he would ever waive to come here anyway, but if he did, I would expect him to play around the same amount he does with New York, but not explicitly against the best competition. Out west would seem to better suit his game as well.

I would have been interested in this deal closer to the deadline when we ship off a couple forwards, but I’m not sure we have space for Tomasino at this moment.

I don't think much of trotz the gm so far.

I also don't think it would happen but Kreider is right in the age range where moving from a high-profile to a low-profile environment probably starts to sound kind of nice.

Trouba isn't leaving New York unless his contract is terminated.

Done a great job in Nashville, long may it continue!

I'd still be very interested in trouba, but I don't see how they try and move him again after the last fiasco.

His Wife's residency ends in July. After that, she's looking for a job - technically she's very likely interviewing now since doctors plan well ahead for things like that. Lots of medical jobs/practices i California . . . and no doubt our owner's have lots of contacts in that regard.

Eventually the NYR will trade or buyout Trouba. Now is not a bad time for him to pick his new destination.

I'd absolutely entertain that idea. Trouba seems to be due for a change of scenery, and playing off the microscope of a huge market team could well help him get back to his former self.

I would offer Killorn for Trouba, maybe with a slight add from NYR. The interesting thing is that Trouba's contract was frontloaded, so even though he has a higher AAV ($8M vs. $6.25M), going forward the actual cash is higher on Killorn's contract ($6M for Trouba vs. $6.25M for Killorn). So maybe they don't add.

After the ducks make that trade, they dump Domoulin at the deadline or sooner, and Trouba serves that role (bottom pairing RHD) next year.

Neither Kreider nor Trouba are accepting a trade to come here.

I have no idea about Kreider, but as noted above, Trouba needs to start planning for a move that is compatible with his wife's career. The list of teams willing to sign him is pretty limited.
