Honestly, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that A. we will leave some cap for a midseason trade possibility or B. we will sign players to deals that can be moved and used as assets in the future. And honestly, I've said it before, but how many of the teams buying right now aren't going to have serious buyer's remorse in a few years?
Speculation: 2025-2026 Offseason Thread 4 - all these trades and all we got was this lousy thread!
- Thread starter Doctor Congo
- Start date
So do we think Tuch signing makes it more or less likely Ovechkin signs for another year in Washington?
*IF* we can get Carlson maybe he'd sign with us for cheap to be a power play specialist with Kuch and Carlson? Would certainly be an upgrade on what was our weakest facet of the game last year.

Hard pass on Carlson still. Would rather just keep the money for TDL or next off season since this year is looking like a complete write off
When I say I'm disappointed in JBB, it's that he hasn't even managed to make some crafty little trade like this. Not that he hasn't acquired some expensive megastar

Kucherov or prospect
Toronto wanted him i would have been like he’s yours and the price is a 2nd round pick !
I’ll throw up if we give Carlson like 2x9 then meet NYR asking demands of Geekie +1st + Gage for Trocheck
And that seems like a very real possibility. Fits the cap space (with a Paul trade) and needs. And JBB isn’t gonna sit on his hands. He never does.

I’m sure everyone here would love JBB trading 2 former first round picks for 3rd liner

PLEASE BUFFALO.
Trocheck is a solid player. But I have no interest in using the rest our future assets for him.
Can we please use our 1st for once on someone younger than 30 and can provide solid value for 4+ years?

Who are we ready to overpay for cause the prices are pretty ridiculous. I guess we knew that going in.

Trocheck would be a fine add, as he's solid on face-offs, adds scoring and takes pressure off of Point. The cost to acquire may be too rich for JBB, depending on how he views Geekie and/or SOR, but adding him gives Tampa a top 6 C with term that fits their window (and unlike Larkin, is a player Tampa could actually afford without giving everythi g up).
Tuch may not have preferred Tampa, or more likely, just wanted the biggest bag possible. I very much doubt JBB was ever paying him 8 figures, which is clearly the minimum of what he was willing to take.
