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

  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.


At least we should know before July 1 whether or not we will get him (as fans) and can pivot elsewhere in our rosterbating if it’s not us.
 
greer would be super surprised that his punches to the face now count as penalties when donning the lightning jersey.

"bwuuuaahhhh???!??!?!" he'd say as he shows his shocked face

Problem with all of these rumors is they're so Atlantic-focused that it's hard to imagine us taking advantage of anything. Even the Leafs are looking to move Morgan Reilly out of the conference--you'd think they'd want to play him as much as possible.

*Le Sigh*

I just can't bring myself to care. Like that's awesome if we get him. But like you're not gonna see me genuinely excited until we can get as far as a Conference Final ever again.


Until then. Whatever bro

If Friedman is team dropping Washington, that’s where he is likely headed.

I don’t know if they have the snarl and bite that the Florida guys have outside of Wilson, but between him, Dubois, Tuch, and the Protas bros, they definitely have the size to match up with them.

If Tuch goes to Washington, I think I'll officially throw my name in the hat for the retool/rebuild.

I dont see what other impact forward we could add to make a difference. We dont have the assets for big trades the way this current market is forming. I think the Carlson and some scrubs reality is approaching.

I hope im wrong, but I think we're probably done.
 
I mean it's not like we're doing nothing. No one has shit to report because we literally never tell anyone anything. The only reason we're getting Carlson talk is because clearly the agent got a call and blabber. All it takes is the other team to keep their mouth shut for there to be no Lightning rumors

Its not that we wont do anything, its that yhe options for top end forward talent are about gone. The reality is we dont have the assets to pull off a shocker trade. Not with the prices you've already seen the past week.

We'll make some move, and half of us will talk ourselves into them being good, or good enough. But I think we all see the writing on the wall.

Also, look at Washington lol. They're in a WAY worse position than we are and they're going all in with 2 big trades.

I mean.... the WHOLE TEAM has trade protection. We are absolutely baked into this
 
So much for Washington not looking to compete...landing Kyrou and now the frontrunner for Tuch. If Ovi comes back that's a pretty damn good forward group if they land him.
Or OV is not coming back and they’re pushing to stay/become relevant.
