Speculation: 2025-2026 Offseason Thread 4 - all these trades and all we got was this lousy thread!

So basically multiple people think we are in that handful of teams…and apparently we might have some irons in the fire…is JBB cooking?

I mean if by cooking we're talking about us throwing assets to trade for a dude whos gonna be there July 1st anyway, then holy shit

That's a weird move if they're trading Werenski. That looks like more like they're trying to convince him to stay??

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Why not

 

[Felonious Python]

Yeah, I think you're right. I've scrolled through this account and it seems to basically just aggregate roster moves after they're made. Nothing speculative. I wonder where this is coming from

Edit: Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that there's no limit to the number of players you can have on your roster in the offseason (or anytime past the trade deadline). So I don't see any reason for Meneghin to have been demoted internally in late June.

USports/Europe seems like the most likely explanation for this time of year.

Orlando likes to present itself as primarily a development team, but chose to play Jon Gillies at pretty much every opportunity last season, so I'm not sure if Meneghin would be able to get the ice time in Orlando.

The way the coaches coach, it implies that winning is extremely important, but management doesn't seem to have any great urge, or that dawg in them to actually make winning the priority.

Maybe Marchenko moving

 

[atlanticobserver]

Maybe Marchenko moving

My thoughts exactly

 

[The Gongshow]

Columbus is loading up to keep Werenski and Marchenko happy y'all. Both aint leaving

I read that as the reason nobody interested in Carlson has gotten his rights is because they are looking at other things. Which kind of means that JBB is poking around at something or someone

Marchenko doesn't even have trade protection and hasn't requested a trade. They don't even want to trade him. You could be right about Werenski, but I would think that Marchenko or Kent Johnson are outtie

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Deadline moves. Not sure how I would feel about JBB keeping assets/cap will the deadline, just to get in bidding wars for someone like this.

 

[atlanticobserver]

Deadline moves

Hell nah

Since when did Garnet Hathaway become a good player?

He's good with his role. If you think he's a player to score 20/30 goals is a mistake. He's a pest, hits hard and drop the gloves some players play a different role and is the great part of the sport. The problem is having and defend a player like Bjorkstrand in the 4th line doing nothing and making ton of money.

lol omg everyone worse he will send a 3rd rounder there for his rights lol

 

[The Gongshow]

I'll lose my mind if we do cause it'd sounds just dumb enough to be a JBB move rn

Can none of you read the part where it says that the teams interested in Carlson are looking at other stuff?

 

[RSchmitz]

Yeah no clue what we are going to do. Trading a pick to secure Carlson at 10m would be the ultimate wtf though

 

[DFC]

I'm hoping we are a team who took pause because of Werenski.

That doesn’t preclude the possibility of trading a pick for Carlson which would rightfully deserve a lot of hate

 

[atlanticobserver]

You're right for sure, but I think that's a move you only make if you are willing to meet this reported ask, and I don't think JBB would be there at this point

 

[atlanticobserver]

I'm hoping we are a team who took pause for anything good lol

 

[Flat Ronnie]

I'm hoping we are a team who took pause because of Werenski.

How could we possibly beat other teams offers? Maybe Moser..... idk

 

[Todd1a]

 

[RSchmitz]

Don’t do that

PS my ocd can’t handle the way they aligned the picks
