Around the NHL 2024-2025

I can’t tell if Vancouver would be done or not.

Petey to Columbus and Quinn to the devils would be chaos.

Unless they are pulling someone in I don't think Vancouver is moving out Quinn or Petey until the offseason.

Could we have beaten that offer? Cus JT would have been a good 2nd line C

It;s a fairly middling package, which tells you what JTM's reputation is around the league. Nonetheless, Chytil gives them a center who can play in top 6. We don't have one to spare.

VAN did pretty well here considering the situation they were in. It was always gonna be JT, and he's older, on a long contract, and had a no-trade. What I like most for Vancouver is that now EP has to step up. They'll learn what they truly have in him fast now that the JT issue is settled. Both players look really bad for letting it get like this; still glad the Blues weren't buying either.

Good get for the Rangers. With the cap news we heard today, JT's contract could be extremely manageable through his mid 30s

I wouldn't rule out EP40 trade too this season.

Damn the cap is going up the next couple of years. I can already see crazy money being thrown around

I think the misstep is that there were clearly issues last year in the dressing room but winning quelled the cauldron burning underneath. But they could boil up anytime. That’s probably why the EP negotiations were so fraught last yr. They should’ve just traded Petterson to Carolina for a package centered around Necas. It would’ve extended their window to win with Hughes at an amazing cap hit. I don’t think that’s a hindsight 20/20 opinion. Considering everything that’s come out in the media, there had to be plenty of people in Vancouver that knew it would end this way last yr, they were just hoping it wouldn’t. They’d be wrong.

I’d still like EP in the Note though…

If we traded for him, I'd be optimistic. Not like I'm convinced he's overpaid, just very worried he might be.
