2025 Trade Deadline

Nick Bjugstad is 6-5

 

[BostonDevil]

No idea who this guy is but there's no way Carolina trades him to us, it's one thing to admit it went bad and have egg on your face about having to trade him but trading him to anyone in the division that's in the playoff hunt is even worse, just don't see it happening. He'll probably end up back out west somewhere if they move him.

OR your so confident in the return, the player not fitting in with us and/or killing our cap it you feel confident in lobbing a bomb over to NJ.

Like I said in the other thread, would take some giant stones to make the trade but it would be fun to see the fallout for years

I can’t stress enough how bad a Palmieri reunion will be

I didn’t think Ratanen was seriously in play but now it’s a done deal of Dallas can work out a contract. Crazy.

I didn’t think Petterson was seriously in play either but it’s a crazy world right now.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

this guy is Eklund level bad FYI

I'll have to ignore him then.

Yeah, that Robert Thomas "rumor" must be true.

You have old news.

No Laughton
No Mittelstadt
No Palms

We avoided Nelson which is good. If we can stay away from these players I'll be happy, at least that we avoided these players lol.

Why no Mittelstadt?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Why no Mittelstadt?

I don't think the cost will agree with me for the player I feel like we would be getting. But no doubt he's the one on the list I would most be able to stomach.

Mittelstadt is completely fine if the team sees him as the next 3C for the forseeable future

As for this season, we need someone else ontop of that deal to help us out

 

[Better Call Sal]

Enlighten me

I second this. Please do stress further.

I get it, he's a retread so everyone assumes it isn't worth what the cost will be. But we are remembering how badly we are struggling to finish correct? And that was before Jack went down.

I feel like I'm one of the only ones who wouldn't mind this.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Can the mods make this a live updating thread? Or is that not possible anymore?

Unpossible

i do agree with you he wont be traded here but personally if i'm trading i'm taking the best package i dont care who and where it is.

 

[Devils731]

This is the most useless response since it didn’t give the update and there is nothing else in this thread.

It did make me twitter search though, I saw Cam Robinson like an hour ago talking about it as still a thing but you did have me go back to grab this.

They can trade him to Dallas who can then trade him to us. Easy. Unless there is some time limit of how quickly a player can be traded after a trade.

 

[The Wumpus]

It would be amusing if Colorado sends Rantanen to the East only to see him back in their division the same season

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Maybe we take Colton or Mittelstadt to help them make room? I’d even retain salary for an asset again, might as well.

Yes, I did misread that and thought he said they were in on him.

 

[JrFischer54]

goal for today improve the team to make the playoffs this year. bonus points if the player isn't a rental but its not a deal breaker. i dont care what picks are needed either just improve the team.


any rental could always be brought back in the summer

Same. All he did was score when he was here and now that we are having trouble scoring we don’t want him back?

I just don't want to spend already thin assets on a pure rental or short term help. Especially when those assets are going to the same division. I think there are hockey trades out there that could make us better in the long run and not just this season. A season in which the playoffs aren't a guarantee.

 

[AfroThunder396]

I think it's pretty clear that Rantanen is not going to sign an extension before testing the market unless someone blows him out of the water (15M AAV).

Since that's not going to happen, teams are going to view him as a true rental and only be willing to pay accordingly.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Just don't do anything else stupid Fitz.

Made this better,
