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

[Mingus Dew]

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.

 

[Hale The Villain]

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.

 

[HSF]

doubt we give up spence for a bottom pair D. might be Matinpalo +

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Can we steal Adam Klapka while we’re at it.

Jeff Viel is a sneaky potential UFA target. 4th liner who can drop em, he looked really good for the Ducks this post season. Jeff Mallott as well.

Send Kleven and a draft pick to the Canes for Nikishin. That guy is a stud and isn't getting bullied by anyone.

Got bullied by Kleven in game 4....

 

[PlayOn]

So maybe it is something around Spence/Whitecloud.

this would be horrible for Ottawa
but they just added Nemec so not sure why they want a RD back

Maybe its Halliday

 

[CornerStone61]

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

 

[HSF]

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.

I hate to be a negative nancy, but I think it's a real possibility we come quite far under the cap.

 

[Mingus Dew]

I really don't think this team has a high view of Spence.

 

[Mingus Dew]

Staois was pretty clear in the presser about this.

We aren't a cap team.

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

 

[SensFactor]

We need more mean in this lineup...we need AJ Greer, Crouse, O'Brien, etc...

 

[GCK]

Staois was pretty clear in the presser about this.

What did he say exactly.

 

[Hale The Villain]

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.

 

[BigRig4]

Anyone have any guesses?

 

[HSF]

I hate to be a negative nancy, but I think it's a real possibility we come quite far under the cap.

sure but the point still stands if you need to clear cap Zetterlund should be gone before Spence

 

[Relapsing]

I have a meeting in a half hour. If the trend continues, expect a big trade before 2pm.

 

[JungleBeat]

Really? What was the point of new ownership if it’s gunna be the same.

 

[BigRig4]

I think the point was that this one is alive
