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

[Pokecheque]

Right. Thats like saying Toronto could trade Marner and a 2nd to Vancouver and Vancouver could retain 50% and trade him back to Toronto. That would clearly be stopped by the league, even if there isn't something specific in the CBA against it.

I believe there is something in the CBA about that, I want to say that the 32 Thoughts guys directly addressed it in one of their Thoughtline segments.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

On Seravalli's show, they are claiming that the Avs could infact trade back for Rants. I still doubt that is true. Makes no sense.

Because they didn't retain any of his salary. Chicago did.

It’s actually not completely 100% the same.
The AVS didn’t trade Rantanen to Carolina, they traded him to Chicago. Chicago then retained and traded him to Carolina.
I wonder if that creates some kind of loophole.

Either way, this won’t happen. Carolina wouldn’t trade him back. Would make them look even dumber than just trading him somewhere else.

Fascinated that NJ is still buying after the Hughes announcement.

There is always one idiot GM still buying after getting news that his #1C is out for the season. (both reg + playoffs)

Even if he get Dumoulin + Nelson - they aren't going to become a better team than if they had Jack Hughes.

It would be like us losing MacKinnon but thinking yeah, Brock Nelson will make a difference.

The guy is an idiot for trading for Dumoulin.

 

[S E P H]

Will be less funny when he's traded to Vegas or Dallas

Ever since he has been away from the Avs and MacKinnon, he has looked brutal. Pretty much confirming all of Ismo's thoughts about lack of off season training.

I haven't watched him play, but if you are to believe the Canes posters on HfBoards he has basically been their best player since the trade.

Does that tell something about Mikko, or about that team?

I have watched a lot of Canes games since the trade and he has not even been close to being their best player.

Here's the full picture of a potential Mitts for Kadri trade:

- We could have signed Kadri for a lower AAV than CGY did
- We lost the best years of that contract and buying the bad ones (he's 34, he's going to decline real soon)
- We traded Byram for Mitts

This isn't "right the wrong". This is atrocious management.

I don't know how CMac could live with that quite honestly.

You also forgot the 1st we used to punt Ryjo to the moon.

The buffoon closed the window immediately after the cup win and he’s still trying to play catch up. But at least he’s aggressively incompetent.

Right, but it makes no sense for teams to be able to trade back for players at lower cap hits.

They can't. That's stupid of them to even say so.

HFAvs and pining over former players, name a better duo.

 

[Ceremony]

HFAvs and pining over former players, name a better duo.

The Colorado Avalanche and Nazem Kadri

 

[twostroke2023]

The Colorado Avalanche and Nazem Kadri

With Ryan orielly.

 

[LOFIN]

HFAvs and pining over former players, name a better duo.

What people are expecting:
- Kadri
- Rantanen
- O'Reilly

What they will get:
- Erik Johnson

 

[EdAVSfan]

Exactly.

So Rantanen can’t go back to Chicago.
But he can come back to Colorado.

Doesn’t matter. Won’t happen anyways.

@expatriatedtexan and VD?

You're just going to completely ignore that Sean Walker ever existed?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Is Malinski getting dealt?

 

[Anders Cain]

Smoke, pee, then break for you?

Is Malinski getting dealt?

Hmmm.. I don't remember sam2 behind atrocious last game. Maybe so?

 

[hockeyfish]

Is Malinski getting dealt?

Sounds fishy. Can't imagine they would put Middleton in for Lindgrin after a single game. Also weird how vague this sounds.

 

[Vaslof]

Exactly.

So Rantanen can’t go back to Chicago.
But he can come back to Colorado.

Doesn’t matter. Won’t happen anyways.

Nah he can't. Until he's UFA anyway.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Rantanen to Florida makes a lot of sense. Then they can use the Bennett money to resign him too.

Rantanen is now a gun for hire mercenary like Hossa was.

Maybe he'll choose the comfiest destination for him like Duchene did, and then gets dealt to who knows where lol
