Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CXIII: 2026 Offseason Happenings

[JojoTheWhale]

I wanted him to go anyway except Florida because one set of Kelce brothers is bad enough. We don’t need the cosplay version too.

GM’s should probably stop handing out NTC’s & NMC’s like they’re nothing.

[The Rage Kage]

Im all for starting the trend of telling players "No, Play or sit out" if they ask for a trade to the flavor of the year. Should have started that with Cutter.

Especially with high draft picks from college who want to get to the NHL ASAP, tell them they can sign with you or they can wait for free agency. There was no world where Gauthier was going to wait until this summer just to try free agency. If he is still adamant about being traded at least you can do so with him under contract and you can get more value out of him.

The Flyers used to be like Vegas and Florida in that they'd identify a player they wanted and made the move happen.

Ed Snider wouldn't stand for this long running "also ran" class they're currently in.

I didn't want Brady in Philly, but I wish the Flyers would have the mindset to go after the big fish again.

 

[Magua]

Nothing screams Flyers like Robertson and Tkachuk being swapped, and they want to see if they can get in on Pinto to help facilitate things.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Another player that apparently doesn’t know who Rick Tocchet is or he’d definitely have them on their list.

no Flyers ? thats odd... players wanna play for Toch we were told...

 

[Magua]

The Kraken are just a worse version of the Flyers. There is no cohesive strategy.

 

[DancingPanther]

Fellas I gotta tell you I have no idea who Bobby McMann is

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Briere looks at Florida and Carolina's roster and thinks yeah we can compete with that

He only asked to be traded to any team not named the Flyers.

 

[TheKingPin]

Ottawa should send those picks to Dallas for Jason Robertson. That would be an upgrade.

Sounds like they are going to try and trade for him and if not then offer sheet.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Although I should say that is a good return for Tkachuk in a pure value sense.

 

[Curufinwe]

God it was so obvious Brady was gone after the Olympics.

 

[The AntiBob]

Wasn't sure where to put this, but what's the trade value for Grebenkin?

Lot of teams want Robertson, and rightly so. Only one is going to get him.

Brière needs to be working the phones, talking up Tippett as the consolation prize. Not remotely on the same level, of course, but the dropoff after Robertson and Tuch is precipitous. Tippett's one of the better available wing options after them, and he's on a pretty reasonable contract, all things considered.
