Speculation: 2025 Trade/Free Agency Thread

[zegrassyknoll]

Cannot believe the Penguins are holding onto Rakell, just ludicrous

He's got 2 years left, is playing with Sid, and has put up 30+ goals more than once in his career. Not like he's hitting UFA or anything... The Pens can afford to wait at least another year

Assuming the Ducks are done, disappointing day for Gulls fans. They have to make up a ton of ground (7 points?), but I would have liked an AHL defenseman and an extra forward

Playing a dangerous game not selling high IMO

We shall see

Would be kind of funny/sad for a second team to make that mistake with Rakell

If Pat hadn't made comments about getting them NHL time, I would have wondered if maybe Minty/Zell would be sent down to SD once we were firmly out of the playoff race.

Could you imagine if we sent down Cutter, Colangelo, Minty, Zell, and even Harkins? That team would be nuts

Boston is really blowing it up. Their roster is now just Pasta, McAvoy and the declining Lindholms.

I saw the Declining Lindholms at the Troubadour a couple months ago. Good show, but I wish they'd played more from their best album, "Trouble Bruin".

Would have liked a depth trade, move Leason for anything. Overall we just didn’t have much to sell after the Dumoulin trade.

 

[70sSanO]

Damn, what about the guy who was hearing rumblings?

Insiders? Crickets inside are so much worse than outside.

So we did nothing today? Weird

Srsly

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Like years past we'll see the Ducks announce a trade that happened hours earlier that wasn't announced by the league because it was too boring. Seamus McFacepuncher on his way to the AHL.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Boston will contend again before Pittsburgh does.

 

[duxfan1101]

technically the on-ice photo was before the "exiting" photo

my brain is telling me it's a "before/after my last game as a duck" post lol

Well those photos are from the game against Edmonton, which wasn't our last game.

dumo is better than cam by a bit. If we had dumo instead of cam in the getzlaf days. We may have gotten another cup or 2

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Can’t really call the deadline brutal because of the Nelson return, but the Islanders really going to extend Palmieri and just run it back next year, someone put Lou out to pasture

 

[zegrassyknoll]

Good point lol

"My last (good) game as a Duck"

I liked the bruins deadline.... not waiting around

 

[Quack Shot]

I wonder if the Sens will shift Giroux from wing to fill Norris' spot at center and then have Cozens play RW.

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Perron - Norris - Batherson

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Cozens
Perron - Giroux - Batherson

Didn’t even realize Giroux is still playing lol

Being realistic, not delusional.

Fitzgerald likes big shots and he cannot lie.

[JAHV]

Ah yes, no trade deadline would be complete without an appearance from the guy who comes in, scores 10 goals in 22 games, pisses in somebody's shampoo, and then gets dumped on some other team.
