Rebuild?

I like a lot of things other teams did:

1. Boston capitalized on their team not being good enough.
2. Lou sold Nelson for a very nice haul.
3. Colorado looks great down the middle.
4. Dallas with the Rant move and re-upping Wyatt.
5. Florida getting Jones with nice retention.


Not a fan of Carolina but atleast they pivoted and got some decent assets back.
Yeah but Carolina went from Necas and drury to stank for this years PO. Can’t imagine that Slavin, Aho, Staal, Jarvis, Svech are pleased.

Chicago taking in the Webber contract at the tdl is not giving people the confidence that they are going to aim to improve the roster. You don’t make that deal unless you are concerned about meeting the cap floor. Or at least spend only up to the midpoint between floor and cap to add that nearly $8 mill cap charge.

Seems more teams are simply going for it. 11 traded 2025 firsts. 7 traded 1sts for 2026 draft draft already.
LV-Hanifin
Edm-Walman
Col-Nelson
Dal-Rantanen
Tor-Carlo
TB-Gourde
Fla-Jones

Some of these clubs could end up H2H like. The 2/3 matchup in Metro is NJ/Car. Atl is any combo of Fla/TB/Tor. Central, could be Dal/Col.

It was clear no team cares about 2025 picks.

2026 is harder to obtain but if contention and late pick, again most teams don’t care.

7 PO teams moved their ‘26 first. How many teams are left that are confident about making the ‘26 PO? Car, Win, Wash , LA all held onto their ‘25 pick. Those 4 get you up to 11.

NJ, Min have their pick which get you to 13 teams. Once you hit into the Teens you aren’t as confident in moving a future pick.

So like 6 clubs should be fairly confident of making the PO in 26 that could deal their pick but 2/3 of them would have moved their ‘25 pick for the right asset.
