NHL trade deadline thread (2025)

[Doug Prishpreed]

Fun fact: 16 out of 32 teams have all 3 of their retention slots. 10 out of 32 have 2 slots, 4 teams have 1 slot, and 2 teams have no slots (SJS, CHI).

You can't retain cap space when your team operates at the cap, which most teams do. Which is why only rebuilding teams weaponize their cap space.

Well, rebuilding teams not named Sabres.

He identifies as "Me and myself"... "I" was at another game.

Oh, so THAT is what they meant by Buffalo Bill night

Now I know how all these Tuch rumors got started.

Of the bottom 10 teams for capspace 5 are retaining on a contract.

- Joker being held out of lineup in anticipation of a move

I’ve seen Coronato for Cozens proposed before. Doesn’t really address any of our issues

So far it seems like Detroit and Calgary have been confirmed to be interested. Not sure of other teams...

I think there were rumors about Preds before.

Any interest in Logan Brown going through waivers? Don't know much about him other than he is 6'6.

Surprised to see Vrana waived. He has some offense to offer.

*shrug* Maybe they need his niblet of cap space for another move? Maybe he's flirting with his former lifestyle choices? Not sure.

Tampa dipping into the next decade yet?

Vrana hasn't scored at a noticeable rate since he left Washington the first time.

 

[Beerz]

Yikes.

I like Greenway but 4 million? I guess thats what it takes to keep players.

 

[Beerz]

Wow.. 6 years for Olivier?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

That was his market value.

With the cap jumping up, I'm not too surprised.

I expect to see some stupid contracts this offseason.
