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

[PucksInTooDeep]

I dont get it

Is he not insinuating the Lightning could be looking at Greer? Maybe I totally mis-read this

 

[TheSchmidt]

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.

Encina is just making a joke based on how the tweet was phrased

 

[RussianGuyovich]

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

Just wouldn't want him getting confused and running Brandon Hagel in practice because that's been his job description for so long.

 

[DFC]

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

 

[Doctor Congo]

Good for the Caps if true

Eat shit

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.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

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.

 

[Doctor Congo]

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

Tuch going to Washington

White board ought to say "Run it back"

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.

That’s all ChatGPT I only asked for a pic of JBB sleeping in his office lol.

Or OV is not coming back and they’re pushing to stay/become relevant.

 

[The Gongshow]

I'm not gonna be fully worried until after the draft, but its looking like we are just running it back...
