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

panthers gonna get hellebyuck next is my guess. they dont have a goalie signed as of now and they're basically trying to be Team USA

I absolutely think the Ducks were disappointed when Sanderson got picked. That being said I just cant see him being moved for anything other than an overpay

They don't have the assets or the cap space for that now. They have no 1sts to trade and no high quality prospects. Guessing they'll turn their sights to Binnington with retention.

There is less than zero percent chance the Sens are moving Sanderson. They'd be well within their rights to demand Sennecke or Cutter in return for him. He's a top 15 D in the league.

and this is also why I had zero interest in Brady. He was always going to force his way to be with his brother, he's too much of a follower doesn't want to be a leader; he can have his brother to be in charge instead.

that's such a downgrade

Idk I like that better than Poehling and a 2nd and I like Poehling and a 2nd now. But I hope mctavish gets more than that

just like vegas, it doesnt matter what assets or cap space they dont have. if they want something, they'll find a way to get it. but good call on binnington, that could also be a possibility.

The Sens aren’t selling. They’re in a similar position as we are although I consider the Ducks better set up for the future. Tkachuk clearly forced their hand here and they had to trade him now for a good haul or lose him for nothing later

Team USA mixed with team Canadas bottom 6 / healthy scratches.

It does seem he likely forced his way out and then had a small number of teams for whom he was willing to waive his NMC. Given their lack of leverage, it seems Ottawa did pretty well to land a top 10 pick + the other picks. He only had two years remaining until UFA, this could have turned out pretty ugly for the Sens if they didn't cash in now.

Was dead wrong about them not wanting to trade Brady in the division but for that haul I can’t blame them. I wonder now if Ottawa tries to parlay at least one of those picks.

I'm thinking the same, Ottawa will likely parlay picks as they need players immediately

Larkin ain’t going to the panthers, that’s for sure. Larkin to Anaheim me thinks

The Wild are probably even more desperate for Larkin

The wild can’t outbid us. Larkin is the one that asked for a trade. I see him doing the right thing, and accepting a trade to the ducks. He will be happy with us.

Supposedly the Wild outbid the Panthers for Brady but he preferred Florida for obvious reasons. The player ultimately has final say if they have full trade protection.

Senators seem to be a better run outfit. Stevie Y is a straight ahole. Yes, he will trade larkin. But I wouldn’t be surprised if larkin blinks first. I actually expect it. Where did you read that the wild outbid the panthers ?

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Somehow, I feel this just helps us get a better price for Mac...from anybody.

If we get Larkin in exchange for McT + a 2nd, I'd take it! Wonder what PV is cooking up. Still need a RHD though!

I have 0 idea what the beeker is up too. What I’m sure about is the following 1. He is slow cooking several pots right now. 2. MacT when traded, will be a trade we’re all glad about(except from the usual negative Nancy crew )… those are my takes.

Gibson be like: What the F Larkin I just came from Anaheim.
Larkin be like: Anaheim is a playoff team.

How can you say you have zero idea what he’s up to, and then in another thread you say ‘who wants juicy tidbits’

Are you connected to the team in some capacity, or do you happen to be ‘in the know’ of things?
