Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals - 2025/26 Part II

  • 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.
JJ is following a similar path to Mctavish and that's why he is in the rumour mill

He fell to the 3rd line in the playoffs and just had a off year.

I get that but there is actual smoke about McTavish being shopped.

Haven't seen anything similar about Peterka. Just folks drawing conclusions of their own.
 
It’s going to be for Spence isn’t it?

With Nemec, Parekh and Brzustewicz on their right-side already, I don't think they'd want Spence.

The Flames actually have enough D now to trade Whitecloud without needing one back:

Bahl - Nemec
Kuznetsov - Parekh
Maatta - Pachal
Hanley, Brzustewicz

I suspect if we acquired Whitecloud, we'd be giving up picks (probably #25+) and then we'd trade Spence to a different team.

Surely if we're replacing Spence with whitecloud it's because we're keeping cap available to make a huge offer sheet, right? Otherwise we're gonna get hosed here

we already have cap for an offersheet.

And if we need to clear cap keeping Z over Spence is wild

They just play different roles. Whitecloud is a PK guy and if we want Yak and Zub to be our other RD, it makes sense to have a guy that can help there. He’s also played with Chabot before at the worlds.

So maybe they would like to go

Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Whitecloud
Kleven - Yak

Which I think is a good and balanced top 6.

Don't think we should be getting a guy based on if he can play the PK or not. He is not really shown to be a top 4 D

It makes a lot more sense to get Whitecloud as a bottom pair guy and move our Matinpalo. Then Yak is the extra who slides in and out of the lineup
 


So maybe it is something around Spence/Whitecloud.


I suppose it's possible that they want Parekh in the AHL next year, as he still needs work defensively.

Was only in the NHL this year due to signing his ELC too early, not being able to go to the NCAA like most other top prospects, and going back to the OHL after a 107 point season wasn't viewed as an attractive option.
