Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

I think Namesntnikov still has several good years left in him. And being Russian he can ease Chibrikov's adjustment and gradual improvement as he settles into the big club.

Though how you improve on a goal per game pace is hard to imagine.

If anything it feels like Namestnikov is playing his best hockey of his career in Winnipeg

I mean Cozens is 6'3 and prob hits 200lbs in a year or two

Have to be careful - McLeod is shooting at 20% this year and Cozens at 8 and they are tied for points... neither of those is sustainable

I dont think he's available - but he's one of the top targets I'd go after

imo it's moreso the contract. 40m dollars remaining is a large bet. granted he's young, shown high upside in the past with 30+ goals a couple years ago. 47 pts last year wasn't great, but when the team lead is 59 strikes me as there wasn't much offense to be had. he just might have the buffalo stink.

even ristolainen has been noted of playing much better once out of there. then there's guys like reinhart or montour too.

I would gamble on that - just listened to Locked On Sport - Dylan Cozens (don't worry it was while I was getting other shit done haha)

Sounds like a shooter who's in Cole Perfetti too hard on himself mode - he's not a defensive center but Winnipeg system prob helps that

That being said, Tuch is the gem on that roster if there's a sell off - he's another Nino and has an extra year at a good cap hit - thats a guy I'd give up our first for and a good prospect

Tuch would certainly be an interesting player to trade for. If he were to be available, you have wonder how quickly a 28 y/o American with a M-NTC would take us out of the running.

He has turned out to be a steal by Chevy getting him for a 4th.

Would love to trade for Granlund at the right cost. Over a point per game, exactly the type of player that should mentor Perfetti.

And signed him to a deal worth about half of what he has been worth to us too

Cody Ceci, RD, 30y, going into UFA next year, you think the sharks will move him?
He is a big RD that could pair with josh on the first pairing.
