GDT: 2025 Trade Deadline | Y’all Got Anymore of Them Trades?

[JLo217]

I just am here to watch the world burn and hope rants stays in Carolina after all of this

 

[CobraAcesS]

Ah, good morning everyone.

LFG!!!

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Lebrun on TSN:

"At this moment, trading Casey Mittelstadt is not a priority for the Avalanche. He has 2 years left on his deal after this one, not desperate to move him. Now, the center market is very thin and things could change quickly if a team like New Jersey make an offer worth Colorado's while, but they hold the chips after acquiring Nelson and making the center market even more scarce."

That's why we have to sell him now. Summer the prices are always a bit lower in my eyes. Teams try to get rid of fat and good players move for pretty nice valuations.

Move Mitts now.

 

[DrunkTurtle]

do folks think we can win the cup with our D as is??

Upgrade on Malinski would be ideal.
So would a 3rd line winger.

One of those and it's all gravy. They already been very busy.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Carlo or Tanev today would be ok. If any other trade comes through that can somehow reduce the icetime for 8 and 29 until the playoffs, all the better for it. Make sure they aren't exhausted from overuse (and 4 nations). LETS GOAVS

If Logan Stankoven is indeed traded, a lot of folks where I live (Kamloops) who bought his Stars jersey (seriously its everywhere!!) will be pissed haha.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mikko gonna price himself to a shit team at this rate.

Maybe he does want to return to Colorado? Avs trade away Mitts + Colton + Wood, and give Mikko $12 × 7, and he would fit cap wise...

Of course, there wouldn't be a Nelson re-signing, or Lindgren, and Landy would have to go to LTIR, but they would have Mikko back...

 

[flyfysher]

Now get Tuch and Gudas.

 

[hockeyfish]

LFG!!!

 

[pont]

Shit, the Avs offered him $11.75M × 8, and he balked.

Don't get me wrong, Mikko is a great player but the 13 plus at 8 years rumored is just stupid. Maybe for the Mikko we saw when Nate was down for some time several years back, but not this one.

 

[Pokecheque]

Seems strange to me for Friedge to be that aggressive with an insider scoop. He usually hedges his bets.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Anyone else kinda want Dallas to give up a bunch of young cost controlled guys and sign Rants to a 13 or 14x 8 contract?

I just don’t think it’s good asset management and could really hurt them. He could become their Tavares and then you watch Johnston want that type of money on his next deal too

Long-term it would hurt them for sure.

 

[The Merchant]

Man when's the last time the Avs completely dominated the trade space for an entire season? Fault CMac for his mistakes all you want, but he's made this year a helluva lot of fun on that front.

 

[BrickNHL]

What the eff they doing on TSN? I could’ve slept more

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Islanders last offer for Nelson was 7.5 mil x 3 years. I think he's going to get a contract slightly lower then what Stamkos got. Could see a 7 million for 4-5 years type deal to be had.

So he could be the new Kadri

 

[CobraAcesS]

Teams.. we'll trade for Mikko, but we need an extension in place.










Oh.. he wants that?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Dumb not to. The UFA market doesn't exactly have many enticing #2C options and they already shipped two of their better trade pieces to land Nelson.

I think you're right and that's probably what Cmac thought too. Double down on this move. Then it makes way more sense.

That reads like LeBrun has been briefed by Sakic to let other GM's know "Pay our asking price for the last center available or go home".

 

[Pacman33]

Yea mitts needs to be moved. Prob best option on the market at center. Couldnt produce on the 2nd line and now will be on the 3rd dropping his value even more in the offseason

Yeah, it needs to be enough to get Tuch lol.

 

[hockeyfish]

Think Mitts will be staying as they likely want insurance if Brock leaves over the summer.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Rantanen would be a moron to sign “upwards of $12M”

Like Rantanen would care about their contract problems. Pay him the money if you want him.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I thought we looked great already coming out of the Rantanen trade lol but now we're untouchable. Canes surrendering, and Dallas possibly swinging and missing is just so hilarious.

How could it have worked out any better?

 

[Gatorbait19]

Carolina finding out why Cmac wasn't letting anyone discuss an extension with Rants before trading him

Brilliant move by Cmac there, especially if dallas and Rants are unable to agree on an extension.

While Cmac could’ve potentially maximized the return if he allowed teams/Carolina to discuss an extension with Mikko, he knew Mikko would insist on the moon and that there’s a snowballs chance in hell he actually signs. Better to have kept Carolina guessing/thinking they could re-sign him, than to clue them into the fact they couldn’t.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The best part about potentially trading Mitts is that we now don't have to do any sort of gymnastics to swap him with another struggling 2C, and can target 3Cs plus an add instead

Maybe he had an idea that he was never signing with Carolina. It's possible. He played them.
