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

They do, which is why I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't available. However, if they feel that Greig can play that role for less than half the cap hit, then maybe they view Pinto as a luxury.

+1000

I don't want the #25 pick in any deal for Mac.

If the deal really is, 9 + 25 + prospect, that’s ammo for a real upgrade. That trade value is wayyyy higher than McTavish alone.

Seattle firmly committed to being the most mid franchise of all time. They might end up being even less relevant than Columbus

Would #9 for McT appease anyone? I would think Verbeek wants assets that can help us win now.

#9 plus...7 million in caps pace depending on what salaries are sent back

#9 + Grieg and call it a day. We get draft capital+ feisty beeker middle 6 player + cap space

It won't be. The offer will be more like 25 + prospect. Everybody wants the "right price" deal for Mac.

Yup. Anyone thinking Mac has top 10 pick ++ kinda value are gonna be disappointed

Friedman with a little back story to the Tkachuk trade...

I dont expect a top 10 pick for Mctavish and to be honest there's only like 2 guys in that 9 range that would really make it worth it for me. We can always just keep him and hope he moves past a bad season and goes back to building on previous seasons

The wrench here is the money and the fact Carlsson and Gauthier are going to cost alot more than they probably thought a year ago

Beeker is moving on 100%, he has interested teams. The money savings + beeker may think McQueen is a lot closer than most of these boards think. My guess, he will tell teams to make their final offers Wednesday or so. He doesn’t want this to be a distraction. MacT isnt the type to play well through distractions. This will end up being a hockey trade that we’re probably pleased with. MacT right now has more value to the league than Zegras did when he was traded. We’re lucky, that the senators might see MacT as a 1st line winger and they may pay more than we think is possible to get him. Or the Canadians, being a Canadian team just over pays for MacT their 2nd line center ( they seem to not mind shorter players over there) I’m hopeful! Hell, Stevie Y may not get a better package offer on larkin than MacT++
