Speculation: Armchair GM - 2026 CBJ Offseason Roster Moves, Rumors, and Discussion

  • 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.
Not going to touch the Tuch trade as he's an AHL for now but current state of play before another defenseman move

No chance Sillinger gets 5M per year. Maybe 3.5 if it's longer than 4 years...

I am just going based on AFP's numbers and also pushing them a bit "higher" because all the public models always falls shorts of what's expected. Waddell wants a soft cap around 100mil

If I'm Waddell, I make an offer to Yzerman and, if it's better than the others, request the ability to speak to Larkin (to get him to waive) with Werenski in tow.

His list is a minor formality. The chips are falling into place and he needs to see CLB trying to improve as much as Z. As they’re attempting to do just that… it’s gonna come together.

I ain’t Kreskin or anything but the moment I heard the Larkin thing I had a feeling this was going down. Not that I think I’m anything special but I’ve called something quite a few times that others thought was absolutely ridiculous!

I admit I could be sooooo wrong and that’s alright, I wouldn’t be upset. I’m not trying to guarantee ANYTHING.
It’s just this feeling that these two young men have a bond and a plan. That’s it…

Even at the cost of Vronkov I still like to have a bit more certainty from the LW side

I could see McCann still being a target (perhaps for Voronkov). Robertson would be a dream, damn the cap considerations for next year.

Nuke-Fantilli-Marchenko
McCann-Monahan-Johnson
Sillinger-Coyle-Olivier
Wood-Lundestrom-Garland

That's a fairly deep forward group

If you swap out the 4th to Lundestrom-LDBB-Garland that's a pertty good offense. You have a power line, a shutdown line that can punish mistakes (Sillinger/Coyle/Olivier) and two good matchup lines

olivier rocks but i feel like they’d bump garland up to L3 (his profile reaaaaaally fits there) or maybe the top six somewhere. i’m still shocked they never tried him with fantilli tbh.

leaning into chemistry a bit…

nuke - monahan - marchenko
johnson - fantilli - garland
sillinger - coyle - olivier
voronkov? - lundestrom - pyyhtia/wood

feels like one of KJ/voronkov (at minimum) is gone but who knows.

edit: orrrrrrrrrr

johnson - fantilli - nuke
voronkov - monahan - marchenko
sillinger - coyle - garland
pyyhtia - lundestrom - olivier

yeah that feels better

tl'dr we finally have options and starting to show some much needed depth
 
My guess is that we're done at forward.

First thought for the lines is

Nuke - Fantilli - KJ
Voronkov - Monahan - Marchenko

Nuke might be in decline a bit, but whether he's scoring a lot or not he can push play in the right direction and help his linemates. I like the fit with Fantilli and KJ.

Thats what I want, the problem will be does Bowness agree and how much does he trust Voronkov. Coaches also seem to want to force Fantilli-Marchenko, really need KJ to show up ready to go to change that.

Id also like to test Garland on that Coyle-Olivier line but expecting Sillinger to drop in the lineup seems impossible to think about.

What the difference between no and NO?

I would have loved to hear that offer. I am sure its similar to the ones their fanbase has been pushing all day
