Rumor: 2026 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Offseason Edition

[Peter Peckerwood]

Don't worry, that one already started back up in the thread regarding the trade

Maybe we can start a prior trade bitching thread that is pinned?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

@RoyIsALegend , can you get a general idea of how negotiations with Cale are going since Sakic's statement about trying to get'er done?

No clue, man.

I think Sakic is handling that one directly with the Bartlett Hockey agency.

That contract negotiation has not been deferred to the guys I know.

 

[Hasbro]

Chayka is all over the place, see if he wants Nuke for their 1st.

Tell him his Corsi attempts per pica second against Scorpios on Arbor Day is the best in NHL history.

 

[dahrougem2]

Dreger mentinoing some Toronto deals are close, Toronto was a team that has at least checked in on Nichushkin, ergo I think we're going to see a Nuke to Toronto trade, Brandon Carlo or OEL the return.

Lol.

Carlo or OEL won't be the return.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Man what a crazy day for trades yesterday. I want more.

 

[Hasbro]

Lol.

Carlo or OEL won't be the return.

Carlo is 6’5” and would placate Mike Chambers.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Getting Nuke's 6.125 off the books is the goal here. The return in secondary IMO.

Based on what looks like a sellers market right now....I dunno. I want a great return haha.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Lol.

Carlo or OEL won't be the return.

I don’t think they’re the same.

Carlo has been a train wreck as a Leaf and is pretty much a cap dump. OEL would be in demand; great contract for a minute muncher who can play in all situations.

 

[The Kingslayer]

If true, explains Chicago's offer a bit. They won a true bidding war. Good on Buffalo for holding out and not trading Byram until they got what they wanted. Rumors where strong that offers weren't that great last deadline.

Jarmo masterclass ask me. Got all that for a guy he wasnt going to sign anyways.

 

[Ararana]

I wouldn't hate OEL in Colorado. Stay away from Carlo.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Tell your boys in front office to get both then.

Nuke for OEL and a pick.

Carlo and a pick for future considerations.

OEL would be a welcome addition to the Blue line. Carlo reminds me of Graves with less hair.

 

[Freaky Styley]

McCabe is allegedly available, he wouldn't be a bad add either.

 

[The Abusement Park]

lol I didn't even know he left because I left this board a long time ago because of the group think and certain delusional posters, just like RS left but we have actual scouting to do. Just came back to see how the reaction was to the Byram trade and if people had woken up yet, some clearly haven't. You also seem stable after the masses being proven wrong and responded to someone different that it was very obviously a bad trade the moment it happened not a thing of hindsight.

Byram has some chops offensively but has a lot of work to do defensively to be considered a stud. He’s a poor mans Morgan Rielly right now.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The issue Chicago has is that they don't have anyone to play 1RD, unless Bo or Vlasic do it. Maybe they'll go after Trouba

Either way, what an absurd price to pay

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Carlo
Kakko
Puljujarvi

That's who I want Sakic to target this summer.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Carlo
Kakko
Puljujarvi

All shit.

 

[hockeyfish]

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

All shit.

My strategies cannot be comprehended by those who have been brainwashed by the hockey establishment.

Think outside the box. Everyone is overpaying for good players. It's time to go after shitty ones. Scholars call this concept Supply and command.

 

[The Kingslayer]

All shit.

Doesnt Kakko literally mean shit in Italian?

 

[shadow1]

I'll take an Eagles signing at this point.

Much of my limited joy this off-season will center on the 10+ signings/re-signings they need to make.

 

[The AntiBob]

I want picks to use on Lohrei...

 

[MacKaRtin]

And it's fantastic for Byram. He gets to be the set and forget PP1 QB and he basically can ask for whatever he wants on his next contract and Chicago will pay up after spending so much to acquire him.

Imagine if Byram insists he wants to go to UFA to test the market no matter what

And Blackhawks end up giving away all of that for one year of Byram

 

[Balthazar]

Doesnt Kakko literally mean shit in Italian?

Close

Casting a spell to make it a reality.

Oh man. I have to imagine KD has something lined up to lock Byram in for 6+ years at 10 sheets per
