Speculation: 2025 Trade/Free Agency Thread

Whoopee cushions also make noise.

I find that if I expect nothing but an AHL trade with Toronto, that all the trade times become much less soul-crushing.

IMO the Ducks are in that phase of the rebuild cycle where they just don't have much that is available to other teams. They've got their young players that are the future and they seem to like the veterans currently on the roster. 1st round picks are still too valuable for them to trade away. Except for Dumoulin and maybe Fabbri there really isn't that much that is interesting to other teams. Trading Gibson is possible but not probable and this isn't the time to trade Zegras. So what's left to trade?

Things you shouldn’t trade yet, spare parts, and money for overpaid free agents that you’ll come to regret.

Exactly!
