Rumor: 2026 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Offseason Edition

[The Merchant]

lol ok. So what does Nashville give up for Nuke?

 

[PAZ]

I think Svechkov can do well here. L'Heureux... we'll see if he's coachable - if he is I think he'll be a better version of NAK.

 

[jaisen73]

I don't hate it. Two guys that can play in the bottom 6 (theoretically) for one player. Don't love giving them a pick but whatever.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

So the Avs had to put in a third rounder to cap dump Drury?

The man has no contract he didn't need to be dumped.

Don't tell me those random names from Nashville have any value. Don't give me hope.

 

[Ararana]

Well they needed cheap replacements in the bottom six for Colton and Drury. They just got them.

Both signed through the next two seasons.

 

[RockLobster]

I don't hate the return on Drury. They get two guys under 25 who have some NHL experience and begin resupplying their picks.

No, we gave up the 3rd round pick (though it is in 2029, so a bit out)

 

[NMAvsman]

Trying to see how this helps...assuming Drury gets 3.5-4? So, like 2 mil or so savings? Preds will be annoying against us to be sure.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Guys, we have a separate thread to discuss this trade.

 

[Avs425]

I liked ZLH in his draft year. Has he developed?

 

[jaisen73]

My bad. I've since edited my commented. Misread it.

[dahrougem2]

Lol. We just swapping 3rds with Nashville now?

This is such a stupid f***ing trade. Bednar will give L'Heureux maaayyybbbee two games before he gets sick of him, doesn't trust him, and banishes him to the press box.

Then we get another Russian. Is he Bardakov 2.0?

Just giving Drury away.

 

[pockets]

I need to know more about this "fan altercation"

 

[River Platte]

So Val to Nashville then at somepoint soon

 

[dahrougem2]

I need to know more about this "fan altercation"

Like, read the f***ing room, Joe. You KNOW Bednar doesn't tolerate players like this. F***ing disconnect again.

Force Bednar to resign by making moves he’ll hate . Genius

JSak purposely setting him to fail? Scandalous...

[The Pwnerer]

There's going to be a big battle to fill out that bottom nine. If we can even just get 2 or 3 of Brindley, Hughes, Ivan, L'Heureux and Svechkov to pan out we will be in great shape.

 

[Balthazar]

I need to know more about this "fan altercation"

He speared a fan

 

[forsbergavs32]

He speared a fan

Now THAT's the kind of crazy we need during the playoffs.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So now something like:


Lehky - Mack - Necas
Landy - Nelson - Nuke*
Roy - Kadri - L'Heroux
LOC - Svechkov - Kelly


With Hughes/Brindley still waiting around. Maybe still a Nuke trade and then Brindley jumps into his spot somewhere in the Top 9.


If they trade Nuke, the depth will certainly take a hit from where it was in the playoffs for us, but I would argue we're still deeper then we started last season at that point.

 

[LOFIN]

Now THAT's the kind of crazy we need during the playoffs.

We already have that crazy Avs chick on Twitter

 

[forsbergavs32]

So…Nuke to Nashville for what?
