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

  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.
I feel like we are overvaluing McT based on draft position. We just benched him all post season (almost) and he proved he is way to slow, not physical enough and doesn’t read the game well enough to even make the 4th line. Teams trading for him watched those games too. The only hope with McT is he rebounds next year and somehow was thrown off all year because he didn’t start the season in shape for some reason. Feels like a stretch to me.

He has a good shot and can pick up some points if his linemates can carry him but he is pretty bad at everything else.

Haven’t followed his development honestly. Prob since he was dealt for Artemi. Though I thought I saw somewhere he had a nice playoffs in the o, could be wrong , though
14 in 13 games... nothing crazy... but not terrible.

His season wasnt awful, just a step back form the previous year when kings fans were trying to say "we got the same player as the ducks at 3"

How about Greentree+Schneider+Laba+26th?

Greentree will replace Mctavish as the big, slow footed offensive forward, Schneider fills a RD since no free agent wants to come to Anaheim unless it’s an overpay, and Laba replaces Viel since he might not resign. We might have some spare cash to offer overpay a free agent and give them the Klingberg special.
 
Other than the dream options with no reality like #5 or Fox, I’d rather just keep Mac. This trade could cause an ugly pattern where Verbeek telegraphs he doesn’t like a guy and takes bad value just because he’s not a fan of him.
sounds like the dam broke… probably the player wants a change too. Too bad there isn’t a buffalo purgatory to send him to to avoid him having a great breakout season, haha.
 
Yea but weren't those rumors that Gibson was unhappy and the Ducks will trade him but nothing that the Ducks were shopping him?

This is "The Ducks are looking for X for McT".
Not too sure I just remember every off season reading his name in trade proposals. Bobby Ryan was like there before being moved haha
