Speculation: 2026-27 Trade/FA thread/Roster Thread - Waiting for the SCF to be over….

Wishful thinking but:
Zellweger/Hinds/Moore (2 of them?) + for Whitecloud
1st++ for Parayko (if he'll only waive for So Cal)
Kreider for a mid round pick
Sign Mikheyev (or did I miss him signing?)
Re-sign necessary players

Gauthier Carlsson Vatrano
Granlund McTavish Sennecke
Killorn Poehling Mikheyev
Viel Washe Gaucher (?)

LaCombe Parayko
Minty Whitecloud
Hinds/Moore Luneau

Vatrano builds up his trade value and when Terry comes back, he can be moved to patch a hole.

Not bad. I like whitecloud a lot as well.

I think he has untapped potential. Size and IQ. Reminded me a lot of Getzlaf in his draft year. Likely pans out as a Johansen but toolset is there for more if he can stay healthy . I think Montreal’s media also f***s with his head

Dude will be 26 next year and has had about two decent but not great months in his entire career. He hasn't shown much of anything really, at either end of the ice.

We're 7 years in, and gonna be UFA next year ... It's time to call it. He's a bust.

Seems like a more discount approach than McTavish for a RHD. Hold on to Mac (IF Verbeek/Q think he can fit the system) to let him rebuild value. Then move him if/when McQueen is ready.

Chicago probably a fringe playoff team last year if they didn't pick Dach or Korchinski. Those picks set back their rebuild timeline.
Boldy, Zegras, Seider, LaCombe, Harley would have been so much better for them. Then there is the Korchinski pick, could have done more there.

That doesnt really lineup with them being interested in McT

I don’t think they are, this is in the replies of Seravalli’s video too so it seems like a fairly direct rebuttal from a guy who would be more knowledgeable.

Russo>>>Servalli as an insider

They ain’t interested in McTavish

 

[Ducks DVM]

Wait you actually like Dach? The guy is being talked about as someone who might not even get a qualifying offer.

He's never healthy (missed more games than he's played over his last 4 years), and when he is in the lineup he looks mostly invisible ... and other times lousy. He had a pretty garbage playoff too ... only 5 points in 19 games, and most of the games I saw he was just flat out bad. He's even bad defensively too.

Seravalli is pretty out to lunch on that one.

“That one”

I could get behind this. Though I thinknit more likely Vatrano moves than Kreider.

Probably, which is weird. Seems like Vatrano would fit Q's system better than Kreider. More speed and more physical. If he's back, hopefully he uses the time opportunity to show he's back to his old self.
